"The Song of Purple Summer" - First Rehearsal

[@voxextremos22]

This song always helps me in times of transition in my live. Those Harmonies and especially the second verse to the end gets me every time. It's stunning

GOOSEBUMPS! THE ACAPELLA PART!

[@anniedaae3696]

I'm hearing, I don't know ASL (heck, I can't even remember the basics of Vietnamese sign language) and every time I hear this I try my best to sign along with the cast. Am I the only one? XDDDD (On a side note, I really want to learn ASL now.)

[@zimlover3]

god i need this to happen again ........

[@sarahelyse8325]

I have goosebumps. oh my god this is incredible

[@melissaxsue]

does anyone NOT get emotional watching this? i need to know if it's possible. lol

[@skylar2349]

Brought me to tears. Well done!

[@broadwaygracie]

so ridiculously amazing. i can't wait to see how this show is going to impact audiences for a second time(:

[@percy6381]

ha coming back to this and just sobbing a lot is good times

[@aerilyn]

Beautiful. Can't wait to see more!

[@nhaqueesm6505]

This is AMAZING!!!

[@sophkarps8246]

is there going to be a revival CD cast recording?!

[@thatbroadwayboy6692]

I hoped so too, but I realized half the cast is deaf and it would be have the cast on the cast recording.

[@InnerGayThoughts]

+ThatBroadwayBoy66 they can still make a recording of it lol

[@garylibra]

+Brielle Ta I used to wish for a film of SA too, years ago. But now I'm just afraid that Hollywood would find a way to mess it up, and it's too perfect of a show to be ruined on film for all of eternity. I'd be first in line to see it though, Lol.

[@Ivy.pintos]

+garylibra I think she was talking about a filmed version of the show, not a movie adaptation, it would be awesome

[@jaimepier8374]

+sophJ karps as much as I'd LOVE to see them do a recording, I feel like it negates the whole message and purpose of this production....perhaps there could be some select songs released as music videos or something like that? That'd be cool

[@kl-1447]

I love the pure joy of this video

[@augflynn327]

[@Gigglepud]

This question has been nagging me for a long time now, so I was wondering does anyone know who's the one singing after Ali Stroker when Josh Castille is signing??

[@SpringAwakeningBroadway]

+Gigglepud That's Lauren Luiz!

[@Gigglepud]

Thanks. Her voice is beautiful

[@annalol6128]

And this is the video where I cry knowing there's no cast recording 😭

[@alexs.3383]

Anna Gaffney there's audio bootlegs of the musical on google drive & you could convert a KZbin video to an MP3 using websites

[@alexcallahan1979]

Hey can you caption this?!

[@YoBmaniac]

Not quite a caption, but the lyrics nonetheless: ILSE: Listen to what's in the heart of a child / A song so big and one so small / Soon you will hear where beauty lies / You'll hear and you'll recall / The sadness the doubt / All the loss, the grief / Will belong to some play from the past / As the child leads the way to a dream / A belief / A time of hope through the land // COMPANY: A summer's day / A mother sings / A song of purple summer / Through the heart of everything / And heaven waits / So close it seems / To show her child the wonders / Of a world beyond her dreams // The earth will wave with corn / The day so wild, so warm / And mares will neigh / With stallions that they mate / Foals they've borne // And all shall know the wonder / Of purple summer... // And yet, I wait / The swallow brings / A song to hard to follow / That no one else can sing // The fences sway / The porches swing / The sky begins to thunder / Crickets wander, murmuring // The earth will wave with corn / The day so wild, so warm / And mares will neigh / With stallions that they mate / Foals they've borne // And all shall know the wonder / I will sing the song of purple summer // And all shall know the wonder / I will sing the song of purple summer // All shall know the wonder / Of purple summer...

Check out these videos!!

[@jingapo4044]

Did anyone notice that the guy on the left in the red shirt has no idea what he's doing lol

[@Selkies_not_Sirens]

I think he's a left handed signer and just had trouble converting to keep everyone in sync

[@hankodemayo]

+Sarah Kricheff that's daniel! he's a deaf actor, so in this rehearsal he's relying on watching the other actors for when to sign.

[@nataliecook8530]

wait there are different hand signers?

[@hankodemayo]

Natalie Cook yes! whichever is your dominant hand does the most movement!

[@nataliecook8530]

Daphne Liu ahh ok thanks that's so cool :)
