By: Sally Henry Fuller Jan. 24, 2016
What do you do when your Broadway show gets snowed out? Perform on the street for your dedicated patrons, of course!
All of Broadway officially got shut down yesterday due to Winter Storm Jonas, as BroadwayWorld previously reported. To the delight of fans who showed up for a cancelled performance of SPRING AWAKENING, the cast sang and signed an impromptu performance of "My Junk" and "Totally F*cked" on the sidewalk in front of their theatre. Watch both performances below!
Deaf West Theatre's history-making production of SPRING AWAKENING is performed simultaneously in American Sign Language and spoken English by a cast of 28. It began previews on September 8 and opened on September 27; the limited engagement will end on Broadway January 24. Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik's SPRING AWAKENING, directed by Michael Arden and choreographed bySpencer Liff, plays at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre (256 West 47th Street). The show recently announced plans for a national tour to begin in 2017.
Based on Frank Wedekind's controversial 1891 expressionist play of the same name and featuring an electrifying pop/rock score, SPRING AWAKENING follows the lives of a group of adolescents as they navigate their journey from adolescence to adulthood in a Fusion of morality, sexuality and rock & roll. An extraordinary creative team including Michael Arden and Spencer Liff has reinvented the groundbreaking musical about lost innocence and the struggles of youth in true Deaf West style.
