[@kareneastman9695]

That is very good and funny.Alex is great too.🙂

[@jennaedmonston1923]

I honestly burst into tears to see nearly the whole company jump to the center of the stage to be recognized for their Broadway debuts. Look at that joy!!!

[@bellbabyyoon710]

Joshua is honestly the cutest I love him

[@olivecraft9324]

Josh is just the cutest!!! Can we even?!?! yasss!

[@margaretschafer8587]

Wasn't expecting Tyler, that was a cool cameo. Also, absolutely adorable how Andy's voice sounded when he was talking about Michael!

[@IWillBeHers]

I wish there was a Broadway Museum with all of the Gypsy Robes on display. Such a wonderful tradition!

[@alexsutherland443]

+IWillBeHers i thought that there is?

[@IWillBeHers]

If there is, I've yet to hear about it! I know there's pieces of Broadway shows in other museums; Idina Menzel's dress from Wicked is on display at the National Museum of American History.

[@hiimgrace7747]

JOSH IS THE CUTEST I LOVE

[@selectedshipper8282]

“I didn’t know what to do, so naturally, I cried a little bit”

[@cadej95]

Josh is the most adorable person I've ever seen. I want to see this sooooo bad!

[@kcorona7715]

Josh is so adorable.

[@moosekalz254]

Josh is literally the cutest person on this planet

[@chinniepie]

I expected to see Jonathan Groff because of opening night. Got Tyler Oakley, instead. xD This is amazing. Omg. Now I'm just kinda waiting for him to appear in the comments.

[@Alexnotander55]

Tyler Oakley is literally everywhere on KZbin.

[@emjaycub4814]

"Created and shot by Andy Mientus" 😂😂😂 his vlogs are professionally credited that's good

[@Athespian128]

I screamed when I saw Tyler.

[@qu3va.r210]

Tyler Maxwell IK are they trying to kill me Tyler Oakley was the last person I thought I'd see

[@stephpiano2908]

I second this, I had no idea he was a fan so I fucking screamed when I saw him!

[@olivialusk7241]

josh is such a bean im in love

[@liliawolf1621]

4:04 can we talk about how cute that was

[@daninmills]

That was a fun little cameo from Tyler! Wasn't expecting that.

[@savannahmiller9991]

I know English, and my sister is deaf. It's my first language. But after seeing the play I am inspired to learn ASL, and maybe one day be in a show with a deaf cast.🙏

[@Amydixon08]

The amount of people in the circle of debuts was really overwhelming to see :)

[@cre8iveovadose]

These vlogs are bringing so much light into my life. Everything looks so amazing and I'm so annoyed that I'm stuck in Australia and won't be able to see the show. The atmosphere must be incredible. I hope everyone's enjoying it to its full potential :)

[@catherinebadillo]

THESE VLOGS ARE MY LIFE

[@shiraweiss5458]

I am so proud of this cast! I honestly feel like I know you all just through these blogs :) I nearly screamed when I saw Tyler- love that he supports Broadway too! And these are so helpful with learning ASL. I am counting down the days until I see the show!

[@sophialotus6833]

LOVE OF MY LIFE IM ONCE AGAIN CRYING

[@sophkarps8246]

are we going to talk about Alex video bombing the Shake Shack part?!

[@dontstopdancinggirl7]

when tyler mentioned andy in the first national tour i immediately thought of ben fankhauser as ernst😂❤

[@netsirk6]

Happy Opening Spring Awakening!!!

[@Alyssa_Reape]

Worlds collide! Broadway and Tyler Oakley, what could be better?:)

[@baileybieganek2446]

"Festive drinks" lol😂 Andy!

[@grodriguez7225]

For me Sing Langauge is art for the hands!

[@MaiaMatiIda]

Is Joshua fully deaf? He speaks so well. Does he lip read? Or how does he understand Andy? Not to be rude, I was just wondering. He's great

[@paytonreadsbooksyay]

+Katie June I've been thinking about that as well! Also, how much of the cast lip reads? Is Cath the only interpreter (besides Marlee's interpreter whom I can't remember the name of)? Love these vlogs! I'm learning so much :D

[@MaiaMatiIda]

I think Kath is the main one but they might have more behind the scenes to help the cast I don't know though.. Joshua might have lost his hearing a little bit later than the others so he knows how to talk fluently. But not sure 100%:)

[@lillymoore3912]

+Katie June if you look closely, he's wearing a hearing aid in his right ear.

[@rybur98]

I was thinking he could hear at least a little bit because if you look closely I believe you can see he has a hearing aid. :)

[@MaiaMatiIda]

Danielle Burger Lilly Moore yeah maybe he is just hard of hearing.. :)

[@SlowxParentsCrossing]

Maybe the rat was buying the Playstation points?

[@confundochristy]

Is it just me, or does Alex look like Adam Scott?

[@jellyfishyishy]

i'm so glad that hamilton gave it to them

[@meganianero1529]

Shat a brick when I saw Tyler Oakley.

[@rachelthall3636]

[@maribarchi]

TYLER OAKLEY WHAT A SURPRISE I LOVE IT

[@delaneylipkin2194]

Sandra is adorable

[@robertandhollyscorpiofan2697]

As someone who very much enjoys theater but wishes they knew more….does anyone know what Kathryn means at 6:16 when she says “tape, tape, tape?”

[@imheereimfine_7380]

I like ow it was almost everyone's Broadway debut (because of the lack of deaf roles probably but still adorable)

[@moosekalz254]

4:39 omfg what is alex DOING he looks so sneaky

[@Caitlinmperry]

HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THIS!😂

[@nietoperzzszafy2996]
