My absolute favorite part is when Alex pats his chest as a signal for Daniel to be able to sign the next line of the song. Just how in sync they are. I love it.
-
I love how they work together. Daniel is fully deaf, meaning he can literally hear NOTHING (I watched an interview and he explained it) so when you see Alex gently slap his chest, that is the cue for Daniel to start signing the song, it makes me happy cause it's proof both hearing and deaf people can work so compatibly together, even with the barrier of communication and can work around it, did not realised I loved this song so much until watching this vid <3

Can we talk about 1. Alex's hair 2. Alex's vOICE 3. when he pulls the mic back 4. how daniel looks like he's actually pushing heavy things away on "sadness" 5. daniel's arms
-
their personalities fit the character so well. together they make the perfect Moritz. Alex captures his intense restless side while Daniel 100% is his confused and longing, almost innocent side. I wish I had been able to see the show. this is one of my favorite tracks in the entire thing.

I'm becoming obsessed with Alex Boniello and it's stressing me out
-
This pair as Moritz is incredible. Alex brings that classic Moritz sound that we all know and love, while still being incredible refreshing in his delivery. And Daniel is such a breath of fresh air! He just brings this understanding of Moritz that I have never seen before. This whole show is breathtaking and I can't wait to see it again.
-
Okay but I love the small little signals that Alex gives Daniel to start signing and you can tell there's great chemistry between these two, and I love the intensity so much
-
i'm becoming dangerously obsessed with daniel durant
-
daniel is so FIT what the HECK
-
No disrespect to Blue Wind, but I'm so happy to find a performance that just has 'Don't Do Sadness' on it's own. And so well performed as well, well done guys!
-
they're both so cute and i'm really gay and conflicted
-
it's insane to like watch this video and notice all of alex's cues for daniel. it honestly just blows my mind how intricately this whole production was (and makes me estatic for it to tour)!!!
-
There's just something about Daniel during the part of "and I will swing them dry" that I can't really explain. It's just so captivating and I can't stop watching. 1:52
-
My god the woman who plays the voice of Wendla is so pure
-
Had to watch this a few time to realize that Alex touching his chest between phrases is Daniel's visual cue to continue signing.
-
Legit still upset Daniel Durant didn’t get a Tony nom
-
Tbt to when this was on Broadway im not crying you are
-
i just love alex + daniel and how they work together, with the little signals + how much emotion they both bring to the character !! but i've just got to say,, katie jamming out in the background is brilliant
-
I love watching Alex cue Daniel and the true understanding they have each other. This show is so fabulously produced and you can see Alex cue Katie and ahhh i love this show
-
