Beauties of Broadway, part 1/?
Sandra Mae Frank
Had the absolutely wonderful pleasure of doing a poster job for my Tee-Rico buddy Dominic! I was asked to create an 80s film poster-inspired piece for the Selma Arts Center’s upcoming production of Heathers the Musical!
Shoutout to the cast and crew for sending me a bundle of wonderful reference photos that made this a smooth process. The faces you see in this illustration are the faces you will see on stage. Check out info about the show here!

@ bi girls: even if you’ve loved 100 men your love for just 1 woman is important and valid. whatever your relationship with men is and has been does not devalue or invalidate your feelings towards any woman. thanks and have a lovely day.
Hi friends! Thomas and Nicole had a mini Heathers reunion at Tumblr Headquarters singing “Seventeen”!
what she says: I'm fine
what she means: Michael Arden was robbed of the Tony for best direction of a musical. He told a story in a non-verbal language. He brought in deaf actors and hard of hearing actors and actors in wheel chairs and put them on Broadway, something that had never been done before. Deaf West Spring Awakening got snubbed and deserved so much more. The show didn't even get nominated for best choreography for incorporating sign language into dance. What's probably the worst thing is that Michael Arden wasn't even shown when his name was called in the nomination category. They couldn't even bother to be sure they showed the right person. This show did something no other show has done before and to not recognize that is a disrespect to the deaf community.
