No But Guys Think About How Cool An ASL Staging Of Hamilton Would Be

no but guys think about how cool an ASL staging of Hamilton would be

“talk less, smile more”

Lafayette combining ASL with French Sign Language

In “Farmer Refuted” Ham and Seabury go from simply trying to block their audience’s view of each other’s hands to actively slapping each other’s hands down mid-sentence

King George doesn’t deign to sign. He has the ensemble sign for him and gets pissed at how with each reprise there seem to be fewer and fewer ensemble members there to translate.

everybody’s name signs corresponding with their musical leitmotifs

apparently the ASL word for “helpless” can also be used to mean “speechless” in some contexts

during “Helpless,” if you look closely, you can see some of Alex and Angelica’s conversation from “Satisfied” being signed in the background

LOOK AT HOW BEAUTIFUL THE SIGN FOR “WAIT” IS 

 THE GLORY THAT IS “GUNS AND SHIPS” IN ASL

everyone breaking apart to sign their own parts in “Non-Stop” in a beautiful visual explosion like I am dying just thinking about this

AGGRESSIVE CABINET BATTLE SIGNING

“The Room Where It Happens” being all about being shut out of conversations and decisions, there’s some new subtext to “hold your nose and close your eyes” because you can’t sign while holding your nose and you can’t watch others sign while closing your eyes

Phillip not being able to complete the “sept huit neuf” with Eliza because his hands are going limp as he dies and Eliza actually screaming

Burr’s signing in “Your Obedient Servant” getting more and more angry along with his writing, the syntax of which also changes until “Weehawken. Dawn. Guns. Drawn.” matches up exactly with Burr signing the words–he’s sick and tired of translating every thought into perfect English, he’s tired of signing less and smiling more, he is 100% done with this shit

during Ham’s final “I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory,” it’s not just the music that drops out, it’s the English translation. that’s right, y’all, HAMILTON’S FINAL MONOLOGUE IS ONLY IN ASL

at the end of it, he sets down his pistol prop and makes the ASL sign for “gun” AND RAISES THAT SIGN INTO THE AIR

WHEN ALEXANDER AIMS AT THE SKY, BURR IS STILL HOLDING HIS PISTOL, SO HE CAN’T SIGN HIS “WAIT”–HE HAS TO SCREAM IT WHILE THE ENSEMBLE SIGNS FOR HIM

for all the emphasis put on “who tells your story” and “being a part of/erasing myself from/putting myself back in the narrative,” there isn’t much explicit mention of speech and I think that’s beautiful

I have way too many feelings about this fictional production okay

most heartbreaking harry moments:

the breakdown in dumbledore’s office after sirius dies

“but sirius did not reappear”

spending all night watching james and lily in the mirror of erised

trying not to cry when mrs. weasley hugs him after the third task

kneeling by dumbledore’s body as the crowd gathered around him

visiting his parent’s graves in godric’s hollow and wishing he was under the snow with them

clutching dobby’s body outside of shell cottage

“stay close to me”

those parts of musicals where everyone’s singing their own melodies at once but then it reaches a climax and everyone sings the same tune, like that’s the most satisfying thing ever

What is a good way to support your LGBTQ friends when you're a straight ally? I'm finding that they think that I don't understand or that I'm trying to be cool or with the flow. How can I help them, you know in light with what's happened?

Honestly, as a straight ally, you truly will never completely understand their experience. And that’s ok! It’s important to acknowledge that. As an ally, the best thing to do is educate yourself on issues. Offer support when support is asked for. If someone speaks ill of a member of the LGBTQIA+ community or just speaks ill of the community in general, don’t stand by and say nothing. Sometimes the best thing to do is say, “Just know, if you need someone, I’m here for you.” And leave it at that, because it’s important to not make this about you. Many people in this community are in pain, especially right now, and it can not be their responsibility to also try to make you feel better. Being an ally means showing support even when there hasn’t been a tragedy. And it means finding ways to help even when no one is there to see you do so. If you believe, in your heart of hearts, that you are doing your best to change your own mentality and you’re doing what you can to offer support, then that will no doubt shine through to others as time goes by. Thank you for asking, because I can truly see you trying to better yourself, and that’s all that can be asked for.

Petition to have Spring Awakening professionally recorded because its use of ASL is both stunning and revolutionary, and should therefore be preserved.
