Deaf West's Spring Awakening Makes a Few Dozen Broadway Stars

[@lavender.lemonade]

I really love how Austin was signing so Sandra could also understand what he was saying.and her little nods every once in a while made me smile so much.

[@stephpiano2908]

"There's only one language and it's not spoken and it's not signed. There's one language truly." THIS IS BEAUTIFUL

[@mudscosplays]

i like how some of the actors they cast were already fluent in ASL

[@isabellanebs22]

Austin and Josh are simultaneously killing me from the inside out they're both such amazing human beings in such different ways. so much respect & love for them

[@artyzara1799]

The little sound that Sandy makes in reaction to Austin is EVERYTHING! They are so amazing!

[@clarabrandaog]

Seeing Austin signs is just so beautiful

[@aether413]

Poor Austin looks terrified somebody get him some tea or something XD

[@Jilly_Neutron]

Dear Ali Stroker, why are you so beautiful? Can I just be you for a day, cause that sounds great?

[@xxdarkknight420xx2]

I love these people more than I love myself.

[@helisnowdefunct]

These guys are making history. Crazy inspiring.

[@ashtonfox1514]

im in love with this company

[@afayem3]

okay 1) Sandra looks absolutely STUNNING in this, like really and truly gorgeous, and 2) i love every single thing about this video, and Deaf West, and all of this-

[@katdow9979]

Holy crap I'm so proud that they got to Broadway and they gave all of these wonderful actors a chance to shine regardless of their ability to hear, or even walk in Anna's case. So immensely proud and glad for all of them, they're doing amazing work and I hope to see more for them, this made my day so much.

[@zoejw]

ahhhh this cast could literally rip my eyes out and id be happy

[@ssharkbait]

every time i see this cast i cry. they dont have to be doing anything at all and i just cry.

[@smthnbatey]

They all look adorable and they also look like a family like a real family oh my god ;-;

[@MicahRion]

Love these interviews but I’m really frustrated that theater mania translated from ASL to spoken English (by providing a voice over when deaf actors were signing) but didn’t provide sign interpretation when actors were speaking. I wish deaf fans could watch this and follow all the interviews!

[@NoName-lj6of]

Healing Touch with Julia there’s captions at least

[@isabellahildebrand9814]

I think there may have been an interpreter behind the camera for the actors, but it would've been great to have the interpreter on camera!

[@rebeccaahmed3796]

this is really amazingg

[@jrocknpoppingirl]

I saw the show on Saturday of this past weekend and I'm already looking to go back before they end their run. Please find your way to the Brooks-Atkinson Theatre at some point before they go because they are truly fantastic at telling this story.

[@haleyjones7694]

I love this cast so much ;-;

[@jcanino20]

I want someone to look at me the way Daniel looks at Josh... And, yes, I know they're not a real thing...

[@kareneastman9695]

This is the best. AAWW.😀I like Alex & Daniel.🙂

[@imjusthappytobehere4367]

friednly reminder uwu i would die for sandra

[@kjburned9668]

This is high-key awesome.

[@SingingGeek05]

This just makes me so happy! When can we revive this?

[@caitlinjane92]

OMG I had no idea Camryn Manheim was in this production until I came across this video! I'm always surprised to find out that a lot of actors I've seen in my favorite movies and TV shows have also done musicals and plays.

[@reyfire7538]

I ship Josh and Daniel

[@hannahrosereviews5073]

What do ppl think about the CC devices as opposed to having an actual interpreter in the theatre?

[@Quaker-tc8ue]

I think it depends on where the device is placed. An older friend and i recently went to a local theater (we live in the suburbs of Philadelphia, PA) that is doing its best to be inclusive to everyone. I have low vision, and was disappointed there would be no audio description. The section of the theater where the play was to be performed had two ‘balconies,’ such as if they were doing Romeo and Juliet. One was on the left side of the performance space, the other on the right. I found the TV screen where open-captioning was to be, in a ‘balcony.’ If *i’d* needed it, it wasn’t fully accessible, the railing of the balcony was blocking my view. If I’d needed captioning, i would’ve needed to look to the side to read the captioning, watch the performance, look to the side, every few seconds. Aside from that, the play wasn’t what we thought it would be, we probably won’t return to that

[@Quaker-tc8ue]

I hit ‘reply’ too soon. We probably won’t be returning to that theater.

Alex boniello more like Alex boni my ello.... ...I'll see myself out
