Spring Awakening Cast Perform Touch Me Late Night w/Seth Meyers 

Agreed! Spring Awakening was completely snubbed this year. I think they deserved Best Direction and Best Lighting too.

Samuel B agreed!

a lot of shows were snubbed this year, but they all went up against Hamilton :/

Yeah Hamilton is of course very good but I feel Spring awakening was definitely snubbed on direction and choreography

Also some of the actors in this deserved a tony.

SAME OK I'm so fucking bi

I'm very pan for all of them lol

I know right, it’s a good day to be bisexual

Sandra Mae Frank and Daniel Durant are my bisexual awakening

they’re actors

How come I am like the only one to reply to this

the world may never know

Madeline Davidson that’s a cursed photo be carful !1!1!1

WAIT PAINT TRAVERSES THE SAME PLACES OF THE INTERNET AS I?!?

Why are you on every spring awakening video ever Jon

Okay me too spencer life literally had to incorporate another language into his choreo

+Olivia Deveau *Liff

+broadwayfanaticcjb they are!!!

+Breene H I'm probably late to this, but they professionally recorded Deaf West revival of Spring Awakening????? Is it going to DVD?

+Kathleen H probably not. They've talked about it and they said no, because Spring Awakening isn't their show.

There is a bootleg available.

+vicpliesco WHERE??

Steph Piano Actually it was a pretty common Outfit for Kids and Teenager in 1890s Germany... It is quite accurate, the others though, are more adult outfits than actually teenagers and kids, except for the short which were only for kids. For the guys at least. And honestly I don't know how it is for the girls, probably still too revealing 😅 Anyway this is what I learned on German history classes so far, and I kinda seem to be the only one noticing tbh

i read somewhere they found it and thought it was hilarious and fit otto really well, so it ended up in the show

Even in the 07 production, it was so stylized. Is this proper sign language? I'm so curious what that connection is to the play, since it was a feature of the choreography in the original production as well.

Well it was uploaded by Treshelle... A deaf cast member... And the entire video is done in both english and ASL...

Izzy Humair auditory processing issues require captions

@@IzzyHumair + not all deaf ppl know asl, some know bsl, auslan, or one of the other thousands of sign languages

oml

WHEN I TELL YOU I SCREAMED-

Wait where are they 👁👄👁

@@katiemartin9443 most of them don't sing bc they're deaf so they don't have mic packs

Esme Veda ohhh thank you ❤️

Deaf West's staging of Mirror Blue Light is amazing. Check it out on RU-vid!

I knew it! It's Ali!!

THIS IS WHY REPRESENTATIO MATTERS 💙💙💙

matt smith and now she’s won a tony

I’m pretty sure she was in Oklahoma too! As a wheelchair user too it also makes me so happy seeing people able to live their dreams!

yes! ali makes me so incredibly inspired seeing that it’s possible for shows to have someone who uses a wheelchair, plus making it accessible to her.

it's unbelievable how the show didn't win a Tony

I was just thinking the same thing omg

the actors are best friends in real life, so

Someone write a sequel!

I am literally talking to a friend that I dragged into DWSA, discussing how both Hanschen and Ilse embody broken innocence with different coping mechanisms.

WOAH

+Tyler Maxwell me either :(

I like your profile picture ;)

+Tyler Maxwell NATIONAL TOUR SOON!!!

Still eternally sobbing

Tyler Maxwell BUT I THINK MOST OF THE CAST WOULD STAY FOR THE TOUR AND IT'D BE SO AMAZING IT'S NOT GONE OK I'LL NEVER ACCEPT THAT IT'S GONE

Greta G I highkey have a crush on every male character

i high key have a crush on every single cast member OOPS

I highkey also have a crush on every person in this show. Is this bi culture?

@@liliawolf1621 Welcome to the bi parade.

@@xxdarkknight420xx2 oop

+broadwaybaby24k Everyone.

+broadwaybaby24k That's why I'm here!

Alex Wyse, incredible talent. I met him at the Stage door outside the Brooks Atkinson theater in NYC. The cast was incredibly nice.

+broadwaybaby24k when I stage doored I HAD to tell him just how much I loved his part in this song. he was soo grateful I swear he almost melted into a puddle. he's absolutely the sweetest

+broadwaybaby24k alex wyse is literally amazing and also super super sweet

Well, if it's going to be a song about orgasms, it might as well be one of the most beautiful songs in theater :>

Jaycee Andres it's a beautiful song

I mean, to be honest, most of the songs in this show are about orgasms.

Kerah Bundy IT'S THE BITCH OF LIVING

Kerah Bundy That's it, that's the show

this is the best comment

sAME

Also at 2:00, on the piano, Josh and Daniel both sign together the word for touch me. I just think it's cute.

+Kristiana Corona Its worse having been able to see it already and never getting to see it ever again except the clips. Nothing beats live performances.

Not sure if you're aware, but DWSA is going on a national tour at some point this year, hopefully you'll have a chance to see it then.

J Brooks has there been anymore information on that? I've been hunting for updates like a fiend, but I can't find anything outside of the initial announcement of it over a year ago...

TheBurbster not that I've seen, unfortunately. I hope it's still happening, but info is scarce. What I can say is I seem to remember the announcement saying the tour would *start* in 2017, not that it would all be in 2017, so look for more info later in the year I guess

Same here

I know right? In every performance I see, it's him who draws my eye the most. He's hypnotic!

And he s back in acting under Apple TV's CODA in 2021... Will be in selective movie theatre as well.

It's been a year but SAME??? LIKE THE CHOREOGRAPHY??? GEORG'S BEAUTIFUL RIFFS??? THE OAK TREE AT THE END???? THIS SONG PERFECTLY CAPTURES WHAT SPRING AWAKENING IS ABOUT???? ANDY MIENTUS AND AUSTIN MCKENZIE??? I'M NOT OVER THIS????

I know right?

I know I'm late lol but probably bc the Tony's is a family show and this isn't family show as it's literally about sex and it's subtle at all

@@jaimeesummer5334 but they did perform Mama Who Bore Me and The Bitch of Living at the Tony's in 2016. Also the original cast did a mash up of the same songs + Totally Fucked at 2007 Tony's (though they did censor it a bit)

okay this is late but apparently the reason was the show was already closed when the tonys came and they havent performed it in a long time and this performance has a lot of signals and signs they had to relearn if they were to perform this again

Katie Marie Matthews also, Wendla and Ernest are kind of playing the same role. Melchior and Hanschen are foils, as the more knowing/less innocent of the two pairs, with Wendla and Ernst as the more innocent

Wendla as his red-cheeked wife omg that's so cute

Omg I can see them being friends so well know that you say that

WAIT THIS IS SO CUTE OMG

I feel like they’d be each other’s beards

The biggest mood

FITTING

WHAT A MOOD

wow same

Bruh same

The actor for Melchior has a boyfriend

@@YeetusTheFetus I was just talking about the characters, not the actors!

Kinda makes sense. Skylar Astin played the same role in 2006, and look where he is now. He's like a god.

Can't wait for Alex to star in movie musical too ;)

seriously. 3:42 onwards tho

#AlexWyse4EvanHansen

Wasn’t Alex wyse literally everyone in newsies

Izzy Humair can I just say thank you so much for introducing me to this musical, I found out about it in one of your videos and I’m addicted now.

I always forget that Sandy's name isn't Wendla lol I just thought who tf is Sandy?

The original was way better. I'm not saying that this version was bad. But the original with Groff, Michele, and Gallagher. you can't beat it

See, I personally prefer the direction and choreography of the revival, but I prefer the Original leads, I'd of loved to have seen the original cast do this version.

I strongly prefer the original, but to each their own :) also, I can't deny how amazing this cast is, but like I said, I personally love the original a lot more.

I prefer the cast of the original, but I really appreciate how they use ASL for this revival.

I prefer the revival in every way. I don't hate the original, but it never made me feel anything. Everything about the revival is just so beautiful and amazing. I cried multiple times while watching it and I'm not much of a crier.

I still appreciate Michael Arden for having Ernst' voice bike around Hanschen during My Junk. It's such great foreshadowing.

If it makes you feel better, this is actually the second production Deaf West brought to Broadway- they had a production of Big River in the '90s that made it as well. I'm hoping that they'll get another show onto Broadway (hopefully sooner than 15 years this time lol) and keep the momentum going. Between the fact that they had Marlee Matlin (a Deaf actor some hearing people actually know) involved and all the positive buzz this got, they should hopefully have enough momentum to get their next project here too. And if that happens enough, New York Deaf Theatre might start building on that momentum too.

J Brooks They now might be going on a US Tour!

Yeah I know but he's definitely one of them. The hearing part of the cast is singing at that point and he is not.

He probably sees Moritz and Melchior moving or some other nonverbal cue.

I have a friend who is deaf and he can sing!!! He says he can tell what song it is because of the vibrations! It's really pretty cool!

I think he looks at his castmates walking on beat, maybe?

THIS.

BIG MOOD

LIKE MY EYES ARE JUST GLUED TO HIM THE WHOLE TIME

I agree Ryan from the past

Ryan Oliveira you still agree Ryan in the future?

tasminemma i think youre talking about krysta rodriguez and ya know?? me too

Sam Wheeler they could call it the deaf west end

Claudia Lalonde that is a good name. is there any way we could get this to happen

They just need another translation tho, bc it's all in asl not BSL
