Scenario: You get to perform one song on Broadway. The full thing, to a full house. Assume you’ll magically be able to hit all the notes and steps perfectly.
What song is it? Reblog with your answer.

what she says: I'm fine
what she means: Michael Arden was robbed of the Tony for best direction of a musical. He told a story in a non-verbal language. He brought in deaf actors and hard of hearing actors and actors in wheel chairs and put them on Broadway, something that had never been done before. Deaf West Spring Awakening got snubbed and deserved so much more. The show didn't even get nominated for best choreography for incorporating sign language into dance. What's probably the worst thing is that Michael Arden wasn't even shown when his name was called in the nomination category. They couldn't even bother to be sure they showed the right person. This show did something no other show has done before and to not recognize that is a disrespect to the deaf community.
Austin McKenzie - WHEN I WAS…(A Song Cycle): One Reason
10 Little Things I Love About Spring Awakening
1. The way Moritz’s voice is dressed as a punk rocker
2. The moment at the beginning of the show where Wendla hands her voice a guitar, and Voice of Wendla hands Wendla her dress through the fake mirror
3. How other people have to come in and sign for Hanschen during the masturbation scene
4. The signing of the line “oh, you’re gonna be my bruise” on the other person’s forehead
5. Voice of Ernst’s happy little spin on his piano stool when Ernst and Hanschen kiss (!!!)
6. The tragic symbolism of Martha’s voice never being near her, unlike all the other voices
7. Ali Stroker wheeling across the stage with a flirty hairflip like the queen she is
8. The human tree
9. The drummer who is no one’s voice but works so hard. He is on stage the whole time and is absolutely performing from start to finish.
10. The tension when Voice of Moritz hands Moritz the gun
