The Spring Awakening Wendlas Take Us Behind the Scenes of the Deaf West Revival

Believe! Deaf West’s Spring Awakening revival is currently running on Broadway and on January 4, NBC News went behind the scenes of the groundbreaking production, profiling Wendla and the Voice of Wendla, Sandra Mae Frank and Katie Boeck, respectively. "I wanted to learn how to sing," said Frank, one of nine deaf actors in the cast, about her childhood ambition. "Here I am singing, just singing in a different way." Co-star Oscar winner Marlee Matlin later added: "I can't be the only one. I want to be able to see more deaf actors get recognized for their work." Check out the video below and then the show, playing at the Brooks Atkinson through January 24.
