BOCA RATON, Fla. — On a Tuesday evening in a small theater in the back of a shopping center here, the teenage cast of the rock musical “Spring Awakening” pogoed around the stage, shouting the unprintable lyrics from one of its most ferocious songs.

Ever since the show opened on Broadway in 2006, collecting eight Tony Awards, it has attracted a fervid teenage following, and is steadily performed in high schools and colleges. But most young casts haven’t survived a catastrophe that dovetails eerily with the show’s plot. They haven’t galvanized a movement that has made each rehearsal a potential target.

And they haven’t had the chance to take a break from all that by singing the score with most of the show’s original Broadway cast belting and bouncing right beside them.

Lea Michele, who went on to star on “Glee,” arrived at the Boca Black Box theater with a face red from sunburn. It turned redder with emotion. Jonathan Groff, previously on Broadway in “Hamilton,” now on Netflix’s “Mindhunter,” headbanged beneath a Mets cap.
