Tomorrow, Daniel Durant Performs Pregame At Super Bowl LVIII With An Exciting Performance Of The National

The only complaint I have about Alex & April's wedding is that Daniel couldn't make it, but it's fine. I'm sure that Daniel sent his love.

I was hoping that Daniel Durant was going to be there as one of Alex's best men, but I'm sure that he was there in spirit.

🤟🏻🤍🕊🖤🦋🥺😭🤧

I can’t believe this. Alex and April’s first dance song is Up from Sing Street. I never thought of it as such a romantic song until now. This is so freaking cute.

Where are my fellow DWSA/Sing Street fans? We gotta celebrate. I feel like my two worlds are colliding.

🥺😭🤧💔🖤🕊🤍

can we talk about Spring Awakening real quick

The fact that Ilse opens “The Song of Purple Summer” is an incredibly important and meaningful detail that escaped me when I first listened to Spring Awakening.

Ilse is one of my favorite SA characters (and one of my favorite musical theatre characters in general), largely because she is 100% coded as the symbol of hope and escapism throughout the show…until we actually get a chance to meet her and let her breathe and let her talk and we realize that she traded one type of pain, one type of abuse for another. She’s subverted in this really clever way when we discover that she’s just another teenager, another human, and she’s hurting just like everyone else in the show.

Really, she’s almost as ‘broken’ as Moritz is, just in different ways.

And the fact that it’s not Wendla, not Martha, but Ilse, the symbol of hope whose humanity brutally shatters the illusion of “escape” for the rest of the young characters, the fact that she’s the one who gets to sing this gorgeous metaphor about carrying on and putting your pieces back together, that is beautiful.

I was like, "Aww... honey..."

Daniel got so emotional 😭 when his Mom’s sent a message. My heart ♥️!!!

My answers to the Daniel Durant tag:

1. How were you introduced to Daniel?

I just barely knew about Daniel before he was announced as a contestant on Season 31 of Dancing with the Stars in 2022, but now I'm a lifelong fan!

2. Moment that made you fall in love with Daniel?

The moment that made me fall in love with Daniel was when he got a sweet and touching message from his CODA mom Marlee Matlin on Good Morning America to promote the then-upcoming season of DWTS!

3. Character you relate to most/have strongest connection with?

Ooh... that's a tough question. I think I'd say maybe Leo, mainly because he's strong, and he loves his family. Plus, how hot is he?

4. Favorite Daniel and Marlee moment?

I can't pick just one.

5. Favorite Daniel & Britt moment?

Literally, all of them! 🤟🏻💙💜🫶🏻💗💕💋😍🥰 ✨️ Team Sign to Shine always and forever ✨️

6. Daniel moment that made you want to give him a hug?

I always feel really bad for Daniel whenever he gets emotional, tears up, and/or starts crying because he's high up there on my hug list, but one that really stuck out to me and still continues to make me really emotional to this day would probably be when he told Britt a really heartbreaking story about how his birth mother left him when he was just a baby and revealed that she tragically passed away from cancer.

7. Favorite character?

All of them for different reasons.

8. Most heartbreaking scene in his whole career so far?

Check out my X for Day 13 of the 24 Days of Daniel challenge that I did leading up to his birthday.

9. Favorite quote/line?

"Who Wouldn't Want More Moms?"

10. Favorite TV performance?

All of his dances on DWTS with Britt, especially their Jazz!

11. Favorite CODA Daniel moment?

When he tells his on-screen sister that he and their parents will be fine without her and to follow her dreams. Such a true message.

12. Favorite Deaf West Spring Awakening Daniel moment?

The scene before the song Touch Me.

13. Favorite Lori and Mary moment with Daniel?

There are far too many to count. Daniel has 2 of the absolute sweetest moms in the whole world.

14. Favorite Daniel and Alex moment?

That's like choosing between my children. I don't have a favorite because they're all amazing!

15. Favorite Switched at Birth Daniel moment?

Definitely in the series finale when Marlee's character takes Matthew in off the street.

16. Genre/role you'd love to see Daniel take on?

I'd be excited to see him in any role, to be honest, because I'd still be rooting for him even if he was playing a villainous character. It's an unconditional fan love thing, you know.

17. Silliest Daniel moment?

I will never not laugh when Daniel is silly.

18. Cutest Daniel moment?

There are way too many to count or even pick. Daniel is always so cute.

19. What does Daniel mean to you?

Daniel is part of the reason that I chose to major in ASL in college, and I can't imagine my life without him in it.

20. Special (belated) birthday message to Daniel?

Happy birthday to the cutest, funniest, most kindhearted person that we're so lucky and grateful to have on this Earth with us, including but not limited to Britt Stewart. Happy birthday, Daniel Durant! 🤟🏻💙💜🫶🏻💗💕💋😍🥰 Keep killing it and being the amazing person you are, Daniel, and never ever forget how much we love you!!! ✨️ Team Sign to Shine always and forever ✨️
