Amazing! I saw this production back when I was in 4th grade(I'm in 9th now) this musical has inspired me and I am currently learning sign language. I wish they would do this musical again, it's my all time favorite!!!
I saw a high school do this production when I was also in high school. It is highly effective for a hearing audience as well and I hope more shows like Big River are performed so that deaf and hearing impaired audiences will be able to see the music.
I saw the last performance at Sacramento, Ca, and it was awesome! I'm a deaf British, I know both BSL and ASL, so I could follow the show really well. And I was lucky enough to be invited to the after-show party with the cast. They were great fun.
I think this is brilliant ! It demonstrates that the disabled are no longer afraid to shine ... and be seen by the world !! They must be recognized as people, and what better way than a musical can represent such art?
That was beautiful! At my highschool, we're doing Big River, and for about three days, our director was seriously contemplating getting us to learn sign language, and now I know why!
This is easily one of my favorite musicals. But the key is to find a tour or production where they do the sign language. It makes the show that much more moving and inspirational.
yeah seeing this show was my first experience with ASL ever as a teen, and now i'm a theatre student, also studying ASL, and a lot of our shows are interpreted. i find it adds a whole different level to the show that make it so much more interesting and moving, and there's more to connect with.

Just for info purposes, Deaf people don't view themselves as disabled. :)

Big River was the first musical to use deaf and hearing actors on the same stage. Hence the signing.

Auditioning for Huck next year, I love this show. Thank you to the Deaf West Theatre for reviving this wonderful, yet highly unproduced, masterpiece.
