Broadway SIGNs! Twilight Zone Spooktacular with Russell Harvard, Sandra Mae Frank, Josh Castille, & Friends
October 31, 2022
Costumes encouraged! Join Broadway SIGNs! for a Halloween Spooktacular with Broadway headliners from Deaf West’s Spring Awakening, including Russell Harvard, Josh Castille, and Sandra Mae Frank, with an ensemble cast. Expect a Twilight Zone-inspired night of musical storytelling, pop hits, and Halloween classics in American Sign Language (ASL), featuring a stellar cast of Deaf artists and vocalists from Broadway and beyond!
From a rockin’ “This is Halloween” from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas to the King of Pop’s “Thriller” to “The Monster Mash,” you’ll be up dancing the whole night! Rock out to Beetlejuice’s “Say My Name” with Josh Castille and Sandra Mae Frank as they bring us into the Netherworld alongside Angel Lin and Robert Ariza. It’s not Halloween without “Pirate Jenny,” led by her skeleton crew, Josh Castille and Noax. Finally, what’s a Spooktacular without Joey Antonio and Mary Hould, who are “The Life of the Party?”
Other special guests include A Strange Loop’s Antwayn Hopper, who’ll join Russell Harvard as Sondheim’s Demon Barber, Sweeney Todd, and Deaf West’s breakout star Ashlea Hayes and Aladdin‘s Jared Wayne Gladly, who will “Put a Spell On You!”
Broadway SIGNs! music director Dan Pardo (“John Mulaney and the Sack Lunch Bunch,” Amazing Grace, Russell Harvard’s From the Ground Up) returns for an encore on piano and vocals. Directed by Russell Harvard.
