Reply #5: It's for both...

Not just the deaf, but for the hearing. Like I mentioned, The star I met last night is hearing, and he told me he was trained by Linda Bove (the deaf woman who was a regular at Sesame Street) for this production.

(Just to note: My wife and I are deaf)

Oh yeah, and I just saw A Lot like Love with Ashton Kutchner just before the live performace of their megastar - Ty Giordano. He is INCREDIBLE. And the funny thing, he wanted to be a writer, not an actor. He definetely has a great future ahead of him (He's already in another movie called The Family Stone, which isn't out yet)

Ben asked me yesterday if I caught a moment in their play where the music and the voices went off for a few moments and everyone else were just signing their song. He said it was totally designed for the hearing to feel like a deaf person for a few moments... I told him I didn't catch anything but my mom certainly did, and she (as an excutive director previously for 11 years at a deaf agency, had not realized how silence works wonders until the play, and she ABSOLUTELY loved it)
