I saw the last performance at Sacramento, Ca, and it was awesome! I’m a deaf British, I know both BSL and ASL, so I could follow the show really well. And I was lucky enough to be invited to the after-show party with the cast. They were great fun.

Amazing, I’m learning ASL, and I love how ASL has such an amazing culture!
WOW!!! if anybody knows where to get this on DVD please message me!
I love watching Ty…but who is that black man singing and signing?
Just for info purposes, Deaf people don’t view themselves as disabled. 🙂
I think this is brilliant ! It demonstrates that the disabled are no longer afraid to shine … and be seen by the world !! They must be recognized as people, and what better way than a musical can represent such art?
Big River was the first musical to use deaf and hearing actors on the same stage. Hence the signing.
yeah seeing this show was my first experience with ASL ever as a teen, and now i’m a theatre student, also studying ASL, and a lot of our shows are interpreted. i find it adds a whole different level to the show that make it so much more interesting and moving, and there’s more to connect with.
also, i looooove ty!!!!!
That was beautiful! At my highschool, we’re doing Big River, and for about three days, our director was seriously contemplating getting us to learn sign language, and now I know why!
this is possibly my favorite musical ever
I love Huck at 0:39/0:40.
Ty Giordano rocks my socks off.
This is easily one of my favorite musicals. But the key is to find a tour or production where they do the sign language. It makes the show that much more moving and inspirational.
wow! I love it.. does it have dvd? If it is, then please let me know. Thanks! 🙂
I went to watch their play in Portland. It was GREAT! I really enjoyed it alot!
do it have a movie?
I saw this production 5 times. Thanks for uploading!
Auditioning for Huck next year, I love this show. Thank you to the Deaf West Theatre for reviving this wonderful, yet highly unproduced, masterpiece.
OMIGOSH! I love Big River!
wonderful…
wowies! 🙂
