Saw comments from a filmaker/producer who saw the play last night about how hard Josh's role is. They should be permanently displayed for all to see:

Saw this last night and still thinking about it. The performances were truly amazing - especially Joshua Jackson. He talks and signs throughout the entire show and as the crowds were leaving everyone was talking about his performance and how draining his role must be. Currently the show is still in previews, but if you are in nyc anytime soon you should put this one on your list. childrenofalessergod broadway


Lovely to see the twins supporting their on screen dad.

I'm so glad that people are recognising the hard work that Josh has put into this and how great he is in the play. Let's hope more people and executives (roles) see what we have always known, That Josh is an incredible actor

And there's this which I am bringing over from the previous Thread.

‘Children of a Lesser God’

Mark Medoff’s drama about the relationship between a smug speech therapist and the pugnacious woman he’s trying to teach is difficult to cast. Not so much because the woman, Sarah, is deaf; there are many excellent deaf actors. But she must also be young and ferocious and profoundly charismatic, which are the right words to describe Lauren Ridloff, a former Miss Deaf America. When I saw her in the Berkshires tryout of the play last summer, I thought she was sensational.

The speech therapist is also difficult to cast. Because he acts as an interpreter for both the hearing and the deaf, he must be fluent in American Sign Language while also speaking the lines. And because his character suffers from borderline obnoxiousness syndrome, he needs a lot of natural charm to counteract it.

The production opening on Broadway this month, directed by Kenny Leon, is lucky to have Joshua Jackson, best known for television work including “The Affair,” in the role. He’s an even match for Ms. Ridloff, which is saying something.

Thanks for the new thread and all the amazing pics and articles.

There has been so much going on this past week. I'm loving all the attention Josh's Play seems to be getting. I hope it has a good run. Maybe we'll get a Tony Nomination.

wouldn't that be awesome

Shelby1204, did you go through all the pics in the performance pic IG? After this one there is a little video of the audience cheering for Josh and Lauren. Lovely to see.

Thanks aussiechic, I will go check it out

I just did, I will take whatever I can get of our boy.

On my computer I can't see there are other things on the IG message, so I have to go to my phone to check this stuff out, so thanks for letting me know Aussiechic otherwise I wouldn't have seen it

Thanks for all the IG stuff, it's great to see the play being well received. Josh seems really happy and relaxed in one of the fan pics.
