I've established a Youtube channel in conjunction to this blog to create a headquarters to store the captioned videos that pertain to Broadway musicals.
There are quite a few fans out there that have started captioning their videos and I'm collecting them to archive on the Youtube channel for all to enjoy (and to make it easier to find!)
Here is a captioned video of the song "Popular" from WICKED, from a pro shot of the show with Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth as Elphaba and Galinda, respectively.
Please click on the link to view the video (and don't forget to turn the captions on!)

The link to the channel has been added to the "Captioned Broadway Media" list on the right.
this was awesome! thanks for the link. I read the book several years ago and have been waiting for it to come here with captions. :-)

Oh, great! You found the video! People have been really cooperative in this project - surprisingly so! You're awesome for gathering all these videos together in one place. It's so much easier than individually searching for them. Oh, I'm Kate by the way, a.k.a. Rufel from the SB forum. I have a question for you - Do you have the PBS documentary about Broadway, the one with WICKED in it? If so, could you let me know if they captioned the special features? I seem to have misplaced my copy...Anyway, I don't remember whether they did or not.
ReplyDeleteMahalo!

"B'way: the American Musical"? Yes - the extra segments are captioned, including "Wicked: The Road to Broadway" (Thanks to PBS for being mostly deaf-friendly by captioning their documentaries.)
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's the one. Thanks so much! I actually found the dvd this morning. Haha. And yes, PBS is pretty good in the deaf-friendly department. Thanks again!
