Wedekind's 1904 play Die Buchse der Bandura [Pandora's Box], which the young composer saw in 1905.
The musical, presented by Flyleaf Theater, is a rock musical adaptation of Frank

The production is the winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and is an adaptation of Frank
Wedekind's expressionist play about the trials, tribulations, and exhilaration of the teen years.
The story was later adapted into a silent movie (1929's Pandora's Box - taking the title of
Wedekind's second Lulu play) then an opera: Alban Berg's 1937 Lulu.
