Deaf students performed West Side Story at their school using American Sign Language

The actors used American sign language to act

LOLA O que a Lola quer Lola tem Entenda bem que a Lola te quer Melhor não resistir, pois ninguém Vai me_impedir de ter o que Quiser Saiba que_eu não / vou ter calma Sem seu coração e sua al/ma O que a Lola quer Lola tem Vai aprender / a não se_arre/pender Verá do que eu sou capaz E cedo_ou tarde você vai Ser meu Ser meu Ser meu Oh, minhas roupas! Gosta do que vê? Uh, ah! Ai ai ai, ai ai ai! Vamos! Ei, Joe Aqui estou! Ahá! Ahá! Haya! Ahá! Uh, Joe… Há há! Oh, ai! Oh, ah! Waaa! Há há há! Meu herói! Ih, hi! “El toro”, Joe! Há há! Hei! Hei! Ha ha ha ha! Joe! Olê! Oh, oh… Ah, há há, Joe. Há há! Vou ter você sem esforço Vai me_obedecer, não seja tolo Lola quer Lola tem Entenda bem Que cedo_ou tarde você vai Ser meu Ser meu Agora conta para mim, Joe. Isso não é como uma cerveja gelada num dia quente? JOE Hum… Senhorita Banana, você é maravilhosa e tudo mais… E eu realmente desejava ser dois homens diferentes, mas eu não sou. Sou apenas um e ele é casado.

Was this college production or professional theatre?

Love the ASL in this! I know a little bit and it was cool knowing a little of what they were signing.i wish the camera would do a close up of Maria and Tony so we could see the signing better

Very well done. Better than some professional productions I have seen.

I hate you..

Dude shut up I'm in one of their shows

a pure heartful sensation!!!

ahem..."Oh My!..."

come to see the play dracula at south october 25 26 27 i am a freshman and an interpreter

Fantastic!

Joe's hot. Lol. Like...hot hot! Lol. Anyway...I liked Lola's singing. I just thought that her accent was kind of missing. I like the dance scene...it's pretty nice for a high school!

The girl has a great voice but nothing irresistable about her which is no big deal considering it's a high school production. She just hasn't matured enough to add the sizzle..or maybe because it was school they wouldn't let her. Joe was stiff as a board.

That was wonderful!!!! Beautiful voice Lola, and the guy at the end was dynamic and funny =)

I wish my school was this good

That was adorable!

Are you a deaf school? Because the doubles is a very interesting way to stage a musical and I would like to know more if possible. Great acting to you all! :)

I just finished a 6 performance run of this today. We only had 6 ball players and I think we were better, just because it was easier to harmonize with such a small amount of people.

I find this version so much more energetic than the broadway cast, and plan to use it as my point of reference when I direct a group of younger kids in this number. Kudos to the cast, director and choreographer! You all did a fabulous job, even if it was a few years ago, and regardless of if someone isn't perfectly in pitch-you had HEART (unlike some knit-picking jerk who can only point out a very minor minor shortcoming in an otherwise incredible production)!!!

Loved the ASL doubles the concept of dressing them alike the caracters...

WOAH Maria's last speech is waaayyy too fast!

Oh for fs sake shut up stupid audience! It was just a gunshot! They should've used a slow motion gunshot... that's what we did in our performance!

All that screaming and talking completely ruins it what a crap audience!

No offence to Doc but he's not that good!

@heldergurgel2005 doesn't matter. I'm in a production of this. even if her voice is beautiful (and it is) if you can't act, people will leave. A musical is a PLAY first. Music come second.

uhm...why is it in all in sign language?

nataisfan34, do yu go to roosevelt middle school, cause this is Christian

I was actually apart of that play, I was one of the crew members. It was soo much fun!!

Thats awesome :)

wow was that the audience screaming? i also like how you did ASL doubles

i'm about to break up with my girl because i feel like these song fits my situation

helder of course

oh wow.. when will this play will happen again?

oh my goodness everyone signing!! thats amazing! im deaf, and i love going to plays and such.. but never seen anyone does this like yall! :) thats so entertaining!

This friggin song still makes me cry when I hear it . . . of course I just broke up with my girlfriend too . . . just sucks . . .

terrible

We are going to be doing this musical this fall at my high school.... I'm aiming for Lola, her character called out to me eve since i heard her name. :) Nice vocals with this lola though!

that was great I better see you on broadway i have to say I was waiting for that last note and it left you wanting more excellent

I love Applegate! Your performance was excellent.
