I've read that Spring Awakening is coming back to Bway, but I can't find when or where?
I've only read good things about the show, and wish I saw it with Lea Michele and Jonathan Groff but I'm just excited to get the opportunity to finally see it.
Technically would this show be considered a "revival"? wouldn't it need at least 15 or so years before it can ever be considered a revival and be nominated for a tony?

There are lots of people that will be all to help by telling all the bad stuff about SA.
You can't find anything about when or where because that info is not solidified. (Or its not been made public yet.)

Casting notice says rehearsals begin next month. Everything else is TBD. https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/UPDATE-SPRING-AWAKENING-Revival-Officially-Headed-to-NYC-Casting-Notice-Posted-20150701
The first Les Miz revival had its first preview in late October 2008. It had just closed in May 2003.

"This fall at the Brooks Atkinson"
Just to be clear, that is the rumor (and general thought) but nothing official has been announced

I was always surprised this wasn't more of a long-runner. Not really my style personally but it seemed (and still seems) to have a very strong fanbase.

There is a reason that SA at the BA has not yet been announced. It is well to remember that Ken Davenport is to the Broadway League as Pinto is to BWW.

I'm guessing it's just a typo, but to clarify the first revival of Les Mis began previews in October of 2006, and was still eligible for certain categories (I think mainly for Best Revival and the performance categories, though not for direction, choreography, or any of the design elements, if I recall correctly).

Ken Davenport is deservedly a running joke to basically anyone in the business. I can't wait to to tweet that to him during SPRING AWAKENING.

"I know from an insider friend. The contracts will be signed very soon"
And just so you know, you are not the only one with "insider friends". In fact, I know a few of the posters on here are on the "inside" but just have to watch what they say. I'm not saying you're wrong, but a number of times shows were set to go on sale with a theatre booked and everything, and the morning of the announcement the shows fell apart. Until the official announcement is made, anything can happen.

To address the OP's last question:
"Technically would this show be considered a "revival"? wouldn't it need at least 15 or so years before it can ever be considered a revival and be nominated for a tony?"
This is absolutely considered a revival, and no, there is no 15 year rule. It's just that it's more common for there to be a large gap between the original and the revival. This is an unusual case, but it's still very much a revival and still very eligible for the Best Revival Tony.
"Actually, it's three years."
Is that true? Are you saying that's a Tony eligibility rule? I guess I can't think of a case when a show has been revived less than three years from the original, or even another revival, but it surprises me that they'd have a rule like that. It seems more just like common sense, that producers SHOULDN'T revive a show a year after the original. Theoretically, if some other producer foolishly decided they wanted to do a revival of The Last Ship this fall with new direction, design, etc. wouldn't that be considered an eligible revival?
