  • I disagree-- Abigail was chosen simply because she is a great actress. Typically for plays (small like this one) they have to get a big name in order to keep a show running. How many famous deaf children do you know that could keep this show open. You also have to consider if any deaf/blind children auditioned for the part. Abigail's understudy is blind. I also think that it would have been very difficult to direct a deaf/blind child in a short amount of time.

  • Broadway is not disgusting! For one thing its a business and also its called ACTING!!!! Its a challenge for anyone landing a role of a character who is blind and def. If they gave the role to a blind and def person, it would come way to easy for them and would not believable. Plus Abigail Breslin is a name to sell tickets in this shitting economy with live in at the moment.

  • Abigail will be great for the show!

  • Broadway is broke right now...they chose Bresin because she is a huge name and will bring in major ticket sales. She is also a great actress. This is a business, and they have to make money (not easy in this economy.) They are not prejudiced against deaf people.

  • I agree with you when I found the news. I was blow up to speak out with Broadway for not thinking about many deaf actor are very good fit in Helen Keller. Hearing world DON''T KNOW NOTHING about our real feeling same as her.

    Broadway is very disgusted for sure.
