Whan Andy said "the love of my life" I cried a little... I love the fact that sometimes they just sign the songs! There was something so pure and wholesome about that moment, you guys really bring a new kind of beauty into this show 🌼
Does anyone watch these vlogs and feels that Andy and Josh's friendship is almost like a brother relationship? Like they're really close and i don't know I get that vibe from them.
I actually got very emotional watching the rehearsal of just signing and music- that was just beautiful. I LOVE what you guys have done and think it's so well done and just a great new way to perform spring awakening (which I've always loved so I may be biased haha!)
+Erin Finley ASL Hamilton would be so cool! Also insanely impressive, because rapping at the speeds that they do is hard enough, figuring out how to clearly sign at that speed would be, I think, an interesting challenge, though one that I'd love to see taken on!
+SincerelySnape exactly, and also since the majority of hamilton are poc, deaf poc actors would have this amazing opportunity as well. other than that, WSS and hairspray would be great! although those both have a lot of dancing so that'd be an interesting challenge as well.
it'd be so good though! I could go into what I think the characters would like with the addition of ASL but it'd take too long :) and some people have done ASL covers already! they're great.
get this: Hedwig and The Angry Inch in ASL. bam. love Andy and the cast and how hard they worked for this show! sad i didn't get to see it while it was on broadway /:
Not me watching this on a loop (nearly 7 years later no less) to learn how to sign the intro and first verse of "The Song of Purple Summer,". I mean, my God, how beautiful.
When I was learning to sing and play an instrument at the same time, I remember thinking "I need another set of hands to express myself." I imagine having 2 people play the same role gives you that extra set of hands and expressions
This is seriously the show on top of my must-sees. And I didn't even know it was there until I heard about the show in LA and until I now have seen how BEAUTIFUL it is! I CANNOT EVEN. There, said it. I really hope I can make it across the pond during its run! broadway.com I know you guys can do anything, PLEASE PLEASE keep that show until after I get to go to NYC. PLEASE!?!?!
Rent as dead west would be perfect! Legally blonde wouldn’t work, into the woods would possibly be good but it would be very hard. Rent is just perfect! I’m thinking hearing mark, deaf Rodger, hearing mimi, deaf tom, hearing Angel! To name a few 😆
Why am I tearing up all over again watching the rehearsal with no words, I cannot tell you how much this show gave me a renewed sense of life. ua-cam.com/video/fsBCsQ36Pxw/v-deo.htmlm56s
+Violetta Sele I think they're still engaged at the moment. ""The save-the-date is out, and we’re getting married next August,” Mientus confirms" (from a cool article about the show: www.nextmagazine.com/content/words-their-bodies)

Sage McDuff he is!!
Sage McDuff
It's my bucket list to meet him someday.
"did they laugh?" oh my god that is so cute
Loving the idea of Deaf West RENT!
Rent anything! I need it to come back to broadway. I would have loved to see this show. But rent with deaf west, yes please!
+kalden07 yes! Bring back rent!!!! But not until I'm old enough to be in it!!! Four or five years people; come on!
Over the Moon would be so captivating. And la vie boheme. FUCK AND CONTACT WITH ANGEL SCREAMING AND SIGNING 'TAKE ME' OMG THIS HAS TO HAPPEN
i would be crying even more
@@baileybieganek2446your chance is here (they’re not doing Rent at Deaf West right now, but you are older)
omg that cover of sex was so gorgeous and josh's facial expressions were so damn cute when he was signing it

Rita De Leon I'm new here, who would be the love of his life?
glamourgirl22 His then fiancee now husband Michael Arden who directed the musical!
Rita De Leon aaah I see
Josh is so precious! I love him so much
I love Josh, as much as he loves Into the Woods.
Kerah Bundy "my baby. If anyone takes him I will murder you" yep
Honest to god I can't cope with Alex Boniello's goddarn sweater paws.
Tina Oestreic me as hell
TinaOe Big mood

Ok, but consider this: Deaf West The Last Five Years.
Yeah, I guess so.
I stand with WADA why wouldn't cathy be deaf??
YES YES YES I NEED THIS TO HAPPEN
Bish Fish
I think Bare: The POP Opera, Next To Normal, And Big Fish would be gorgeous
or The Color Purple with Treshelle Edmond as Celie. She's done an amazing ASL cover of I'm Here.
Josh kept sensually biting his lip while he was signing. Daym. I just, aghhh.
Does anyone watch these vlogs and feels that Andy and Josh's friendship is almost like a brother relationship? Like they're really close and i don't know I get that vibe from them.
Olivia Lusk this is like 3 yrs late but yeah. They’re adorable together and I honestly love how close they are

The cover of "Sex" by The 1975 is amazing.
Is it weird that even though no one was singing I could here all the words and vocal harmonies of Song of Purple Summer.
that cover was beautiful, their voices blended so well. also Josh is *precious*
Loved every bit of this, but 6:45-9:45 especially!
Please sing and sign more songs
Andy singing and the signing and the music...oh god I'm dying xD so amazingly perfect
I ACTUALLY LOVE JOSHUA CASTILLE SO MUUCH IM SO DEAD
when they signed the songs i thought they were so beautiful omg
and josh talking about Into The Woods is literally me with about ten shows xD
Cory Sapienza nice pic
These vlogs are a worryingly important part of my life right now. Literally the best
the whole cast is so precious
ASL Hamilton. That would be quite sometime into the future though. Or West Side Story.
+Erin Finley ASL Hamilton would be so cool! Also insanely impressive, because rapping at the speeds that they do is hard enough, figuring out how to clearly sign at that speed would be, I think, an interesting challenge, though one that I'd love to see taken on!

+Erin Finley can you imagine ASL guns and ships?
+Erin *Everyone's hands break*
it'd be so good though! I could go into what I think the characters would like with the addition of ASL but it'd take too long :) and some people have done ASL covers already! they're great.
this cast makes my heart happy
not to be dramatic but id die for josh
This reminds me of "Totally Trucked" when the tour cast of SA had a blog.
+Northern Shore MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY! I am obsessed :)
They had a tour blog for the sa tour???? Is it on UA-cam
i cried like a bitch when they did purple summer with no voices my heart couldn't take the wonder
get this: Hedwig and The Angry Inch in ASL. bam. love Andy and the cast and how hard they worked for this show! sad i didn't get to see it while it was on broadway /:
Deaf West...Bare: A Pop Opera
omg, that would be so beautiful :O
Ugh YES?!
Yessssss
This was a while ago but Josh actually said on Twitter he'd be interested, here's hoping it happens!!!
That song, my god. It was just a pure, beautiful moment with the three of you. Wow.
I've been learning ASL for months now and always go back to these vlogs to see how much I've learned and what I can understand
You should talk to Daniel Durant more
THIS IS A PSA I LOVE JOSH CASTILLE MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF
What in this world did we do to deserve the adorableness of Josh Castille
Not me watching this on a loop (nearly 7 years later no less) to learn how to sign the intro and first verse of "The Song of Purple Summer,". I mean, my God, how beautiful.
WHEN THEY STARTED SINGING/SIGNING THE 1975 I JUST ABOUT LOST MY SHIT
Sam ME TOO IT WAS SO AMAZING
PROTECT PRECIOUS LITTLE JOHN CASTILLE
Awe and Josh got to do Into the Woods over quarantine 💜
Andy, I love you. Alex, I love you. Sandra, I love you ! Josh, I LOVE you !!!
OK CRYING JOSH CASTILLE IS SO CUTE
DEAF WEST INTO THE WOODS WOULD BE GENIUS PLEASE PLEASE JOSH MAKE THIS HAPPEN
Sandra's expressions and her little laugh at the end or her interview was the cutest thing I have ever seen.
the girl who said she would like to do an asl version of legally blonde could be vivienne, she reminds me of her
i love how josh just fuckin flies in from off camera
Love the look of this take on the best musical!!!! I wish I could come and see it soo much :( Andy was amazing in the revival a few years ago
ctn04132 Yep that is what I meant haha. I know this, just my brain wasn't working properly haha thanks anyway :)
JOSH IS SO CUTE IM YELLING
when I saw Spring Awakening a week ago all I could think about before the show was how funny it was that they were playing Ninja onstage!
+Gabi Valerie that's not it, but it's so cool instagram.com/p/8EaSgBrHoh/?taken-by=michaelarden
I love it!
When I was learning to sing and play an instrument at the same time, I remember thinking "I need another set of hands to express myself." I imagine having 2 people play the same role gives you that extra set of hands and expressions
Josh just skrtted out of nowhere omg
sandra mae frank is so expressive and passionate and it is so wonderful to watch her. she is so full of life and love and ahhhh i just love her.
I maintain that the rehearsal may be one of the most beautiful things I've seen.
THEY ANSWERED MY QUESTION OH MY GOD IM DYING
but why did i get teary eyed while they were all singing
Amelia's answer was perfect and she has a really good bend and snap ;)
I was NOT prepared for that the 1975 cover!!!😍😍😍

im crying bc of the cover
Hands up if you love Josh Castille
MarleyandMitchG 🤚

This is seriously the show on top of my must-sees. And I didn't even know it was there until I heard about the show in LA and until I now have seen how BEAUTIFUL it is! I CANNOT EVEN. There, said it.

SIGNING PUPPETS
"...Love of my life..." I died.
Oh my stars, I literally just watched Legally Blonde before this!
+Brielle Ta Shouldn't it be OMIGOD!
I love how I'm always on time for my favourite vlogs :')
God, I love Alex Wyse's humor. He's so quick on his feet!
I am in love with Alex. Such wit; a guy that can actually make me laugh.
I love this Sooooooooo much! I wish I could go see it. :/
When you’re 5 years late to a fandom
ME
@@moosekalz254 we can be late together now 😌
Same, it's too late to watch the musical now which sucks
@@justsomeguywithamustache4664 yea....
Seeing only the signs was so intreging!
Josh is funny. And loved his performance of the song.

i'm attracted to the whole cast I swear to fucking god
HEATHERS THE MUSICAL!! ( no I’m not glossing I’m just passionate, disabled and want to do that show and I think it would be awesome for them to )
What’s glossing?
@@lulusobel8643 basically it’s written sign language but it’s in all caps
@@disableddramaqueen9602 ohh
your laugh makes my life
theatre people are the most talented and skilled
More Daniel Durant please!
The 1975 cover is awesome!
Does Van Hughes own another shirt? Every time I see him he's wearing the same thing.
so the non-deaf actors also have to sign?
yes, there are multiple songs where the entire cast is signing. It's absolutely beautiful. I saw the show two weeks ago.
I really want Andy to play Ilse
ASL 13 the musical would be lit
Are Andy and Michael married or they're still engaged?
I believe they got married! 😊
+squishybutts thanks! :)
+Violetta Sele They're planning to get married next August :)
+Violetta Sele I think they're still engaged at the moment. ""The save-the-date is out, and we’re getting married next August,” Mientus confirms" (from a cool article about the show: www.nextmagazine.com/content/words-their-bodies)
+Skyhmia oops, my mistake!
THE COVER OF SEX BY THE 1975 IS MY FAVORITE THING EVER IM GOING TO LEARN HOW TO SIGN THIS THANK YOU SO MUCH.
OHMYGOD
Anyone know what song they're signing in this vlog? I'm really new to spring awakening
Elise Lambert sex by 1975
I just want Marlee Matlin to adopt me
this is my life
Yesss the 1975 ❤️
I have a question what does "the voice of" do the deaf actors lip sync and someone sings it for them or how does that work? just curious :)
The deaf actors act the lines by signing and facial expressions, the voices speak and sing the lines. Some roles are played by hearing actors who also sign hope that helped!
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBERT!!!!!!!!
Deaf West Phantom or Aida
I really want to see a deaf west legally blonde
14:12 Who is Greta?
