Posted: 7/5/15 at 11:48pmI just hope that this doesn't result in them pulling the rights for amateur companies to perform the show. I find so many of the high school productions so wonderful and creative. I know MTI is pulling the rights for Les Mis but I think that is because of the tour.

Actually met someone, albeit briefly, who said they will be in the show at another show tonight - so some casting is already done (maybe we already knew that idk).
That person said they're planning for October.

Can you please specify who? Isn't it strange that they're not taking the time to see everyone for this show?

Equity rules require auditions to be held for incoming productions, even if an entire cast is transferring. That's why you'll often find a note about a role having an offer out or that producer is interested in seeing individuals as future replacements.
The production team is going with what they think is best. The Equity notice was posted, audition dates are set, and they're doing that part swiftly. There's no rule saying you have to see x number of actors before you cast. You go by your posted audition dates and do callbacks from there. No need to do an open call for every eq/non-eq actor under 30 in the tri state area.

Buzzfeed made a video about the production:

That seems like a pretty solid confirmation that the NY production will indeed be on Broadway.

Was just about to post that. Buzzfeed wouldn't risk stating such a bold "BROADWAY" transfer if they didn't get confirmation.

So I'm assuming that this production of Spring Awakening will be deaf-accessible? Or will they remove that element for the Broadway transfer?

Yes, it will be deaf-accessible, just as the LA production was. There's a smattering of video clips from the show out there and they give a basic idea of how the production actually happens.
I don't expect this to be a smash hit, but honestly, i don't care. It's doing what Deaf West did with Big River: bringing inventive theater to a new audience and raising awareness about disability access on Broadway. I had 3 deaf students in my classes last year and I've already emailed their parents about this. Even if they don't get to NYC, it's bringing hope that more accessible theater pieces are happening and more are willing to take that risk.

Hey, that's fantastic news! It's great that they're reaching out to a wider audience that ordinarily wouldn't be able to enjoy something like this.

I am thrilled for this production. Just watching that short clip made me even more excited for a production like this. I don't care if it's too soon for a revival, Broadway has never seen anything like this and this production has every right to be on Broadway. I just wonder what the Tony Committee will decide on if some of the cast are nominated for their performances.

Here is 100% confirmation that it will be Broadway (in case this hasn't been posted yet).

""Spring Awakening without that hobbit Rachel Berry?!! Great! I'm in!"
You're trying too hard to appear new."
I'm not trying anything at all. And who are you anyway?!! Obviously one of those godawful Rachel Berry fans.
Wanky!

Why wouldn't they? I'm sure they've been looking for something to follow up Big River with for a while (and Pippin wasn't it).

The production is NOT confirmed. Deafwest is not a landlord on Broadway, and there is no announcement from the producer who obviously has not convinced the landlord yet to give them a theatre. It should come today if at all.

If you click the buy tickets link on the Deaf West Website it seems to pretty much confirm it's coming back. It will play the Brooks Atkinson with Previews starting 8th and an Opening night of September 27th with the show closing January 9th

I would say this is all a pretty solid indication that this will be announced in the next few MINUTES, if not the next hour.
Theres a website, a clickable link to said website from Deaf West themselves, a ticket listing on Ticketmaster and some pretty solid date information (18 weeks ONLY) across the boards here.
Just because if hasn't been announced yet doesn't mean it's not happening. There's some pretty solid evidence here, and a theater negotiation doesn't just happen in the blink of an eye. They don't sign the contract and say "QUICK! GO ANNOUNCE IT ON BROADWAYWORLD.COM!" I'm sure the agreement is long since made and finalized and they are just ironing out all details before an announcement.
Stay tuned...

Wow - they are moving so quickly on this. I can't imagine how many variables they have been scrambling to pull together. They are essentially producing a Broadway transfer in the span of a month. Godspeed!

Now I'm wondering how many of you have blocked me and how many of you are just commenting without scrolling up to see that a lot of this stuff has already been posted.
