im obsessed with how in the credits of live from mount olympus instead of saying like "hermes is played by andre deshields!" they go "Andre Deshields IS Hermes."
There’s a “reimagining” of Cats based on ballroom culture… w Andre DeShields as the only cast member named… I’m pretty sure he’s going to be Old Deuteronomy. I see the vision ig

yesterday i went to the 1000th hadestown performance literally without knowing it 😭 andre deshields was in the audience (and i got a picture with him!) and they brought out anaïs mitchell and rachel chavkin (literally like my personal hero) and we started singing i can see clearly now- THEN we all got cupcakes and the cast started throwing flowers from the theater balcony :,) literally like THE best day of my life
After mistakenly calling out @samicat (a theatergoer at a recent Hadestown performance) for what was assumed to be a video recording of the show, Lillias White (who replaced Andre DeShields last month) has yet to release any statement concerning her actions. However, the theater and the producers have rightly called on there to be more education and communication with the cast and crew, so that something like this never happens again. There were just so many failures that led up to this unfortunate incident. The biggest of which is a lack of communication with the cast about a well-needed service provided by the theater for deaf and blind audience members. But no matter the mistake Lillias White made, she doesn’t deserve the vitriol that has come against her on social media. This is an opportunity to learn not disparage or discriminate. #theater #Broadway #musicaltheater #actress #closedcaption #accessability #disabledlife #deafblind @galaproapp (at Hadestown) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjwBWeLOdFi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
What an absolutely incredible version of a classic play. Our quest to become someone sometimes costs us ourselves. Go see this!!! Also, can you go wrong with Andre DeShields in an all white and sequin get up? No, no you cannot. https://www.instagram.com/p/CjUTJcPDjSpvvKGDobdQZ7b9o06mvqvk-5O7Hg0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
