It's the last lecture before the fateful exam. For Alex, it should be time to study, but instead she retreats. Away from exams, student relationships and breakdowns. Into Eskapia: a magical world where she is the hero of a grand adventure.
But reality has a stubborn tendency to catch up, no matter how far you run. When reality becomes too heavy and even imagination begins to crack, Alex is faced with a choice that could change everything. What happens when you can no longer run and must confront the truth?
Wake Up! is a newly written musical about losing your footing, escaping into something else and trying to find your way back. In every escape from reality there is a choice: to lose yourself or to wake up. How long can you escape into escapism without real consequences?

Studentmusikal i Lund (SMuL) was founded in 2024 by a group of creative students out of a desire for more musical joy in student life. The goal was to revive the tradition of staging musicals in the heart of Lund's student life. Now an old tradition is being brought back to life. In September 2025, SMuL will finally take the Main Stage in AF-borgen for the first time in 16 years. And just like before, the musical will be staged every four years, so don't miss the chance to experience this unique tradition!
