Deaf West Theatre's acclaimed Broadway production of SPRING AWAKENING closed just yesterday, after 129 performances. The production will have life after Broadway, however, with a national tour scheduled to launch in 2017. Below, watch as the cast takes their final bows!
In the previously announced tour, the musical will return to Los Angeles, where the production originated, with further stops in Tempe, AZ, Seattle, WA and more to be announced.
Producer Ken Davenport said, "This beautiful production has broken new ground on Broadway and has given people a new way to experience an already-stellar piece of musical theatre. We are thrilled to be able to bring it to a wider audience in cities across the country."
This history-making production is performed simultaneously in American Sign Language and spoken English by a cast of 28. It began previews on September 8and opened on September 27; the limited engagement will end on Broadway January 24.
SPRING AWAKENING celebrates diversity on Broadway: Cast member Ali Stroker is the first person on Broadway in a wheelchair; it is the first Broadway show to conduct its ticket lottery in American Sign Language; and the production performed at The White House as part of an event titled "Americans with Disabilities and the Arts: A Celebration of Diversity and Inclusion." Plus, the producers were honored by the New York City Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities with the Champions of Change Award.
