You can't see Ernst's voice, who is also the pianist, due to the zoom in but when they kiss for a second time Ernst's voice spins in his chair out of happiness over his new found love. That's why the audience laughs.
-
Andy is pretty much the only Hanschen actor to truly play the role with all its subtleties and make the scene a careful balance of humor and real intimacy.
-
Hanschen using the sign for "trust" to pull himself closer to Ernst at 0:55 is such creative blocking. Love this revival.
-
I like this scene more in the dwsa than the obc; not only does the sign language make everything more intimate, but their relationship in this is portrayed as more genuine and sincere then in the original, and you can tell hanschen really cares for Ernst, which makes this scene more rewarding overall.
-
I love that moment when Hanschen says "cream", and Daniel hits the piano keys while Josh kind of freaks out.
-
The way Andy says "and so you should" is just.. It's sweet, it's not condescending, it's in a reassuring way, as if to tell Ernst "you should, it's okay to" and I just love it so much
-
I'm loving this bisexual lighting
-
hanschen: those bells... so peaceful... ernst: hanschen I appreciate the conversation starter, but... I'm deaf?
-
I adore how this production combines both humor and genuine affection... so many productions (even the original) just make it funny. Hanschën IS kind of self-absorbed and silly, but he does really care for Ernst, I think. He can do both. He doesn't have to just want to get into Ernst's pants for his character to work. I think it's much more interesting this way, and certainly more rewarding.

dudes josh castille gets to make out with andy mientus every night dudes andy mientus gets to make out with josh castille every night

andy mientus has been a 14 year old for like uhh 7 years im so proud of him

How Andy manages that perfect slide across the piano will always remain pone of life's great mysteries, but I just noticed that he very slowly moves closer to Ernst later in the scene, also without using his hands or with his knee seeming to bend. This just adds to my theory that he is sat on some thin sliding panel aided by a mechanism. The only other explanation is that Andy Mientus has a secret hidden talent for sliding across pianos, which would be strange.
-
Scenes like this can only be fully pulled off in the Deaf West version - using ASL really helps not only get the scene across perfectly but adds so much to it (that whole skimming-off-the-cream thing...)
-
I just realized that when Hanschen is listing the three ways Ernst is counting them on his fingers 😊😊 how precious is that????
-
Andy's "you can't be serious" is my aesthetic
-
I love at 2:15 when Ernest leans away from Hanschen, Daniel David Stewart goes to the higher end of the piano, even though Ernest is at the low end. It reinforces his voice wanting to go with Hanschen, in a way
-
this version of this song is beautiful. in the OBC version they made a comedy routine out of this song, but the deaf west version made this seem as beautiful as Wendla & Melchior' Word of Your Body. the entire deaf west production is so amazing
-
this is so much more romantic than the original lmao
-
I think I've watched this more times than I've gone to church and I don't know how to feel about it
-
are you trying to give the boy a heart attack jesus hanschen
