thinking about deaf west spring awakening so here’s how i’d do a deaf version of be more chill
jeremy, michael and christine are deaf, all three of them sign
brooke is a CODA and knows sign language fluently, but she is hearing
jake does not know sign language at the beginning of the show, but you see him learn a little bit of it for christine as a way of showing him actually putting effort into his relationship with her
chloe can barely sign but knows some basic words from brooke
jenna cannot sign at all but is HOH and can read lips
rich is hearing and unable to sign UNTIL he syncs with jeremy squip, then he is suddenly fluent
mr. heere is hearing and is learning to sign for jeremy, this is part of why there’s a disconnect between the two of them
jeremy, michael, and christine have counterpart actors who act as their “voices”
jeremy’s “voice” is with him until the squip enters, then his “voice” is replaced by the squip until voices in my head
christine’s “voice” is with her the whole show EXCEPT for the guy that i’d kinda be into reprise and when she’s squipped in the play. so you actually see christine’s squip onstage because it replaces her “voice”
michael has a “voice” for everything except michael in the bathroom, which is only signed with backing music
