Interesting video. While it is well done, as someone who is well familiar with this song and the lyrics, I didn't think the translations were all that great - it was okay, but it wasn't a totally accurate translation. I came away feeling like the ASL was used more as an "art form" than to provide a clear translation of the lyrics.
I think you have to be really careful how you translate musical lyrics from English to ASL - sometimes it works well, other times it doesn't. Personally, I prefer to use more PSE when signing songs, because I think it maintains the original lyrics better.
But it was an enjoyable video. I'm curious where it was made and who are the students - are they Deaf themselves?

Because it is sign language and no matter how skillful or not but just signer anyway and I have no idea who they are, found it at YouTube so I though it is interesting to see signs.
One school, in Mid-Atlantic of United States, was preformed GREASE last Thursday and Friday. It is better and had complete story with all deaf actors and actresses. It was like professional. I recommend you to go to the play next year with new story. It is playing by SSSD.
I actually enjoyed this. It was a contemporary version. Cute actors.

I was just recently in this play at my school. I know someone who is deaf. So I am trying to learn sign language. I ran across this and thought that it was very amazing, and they a are very talented.
