Ridgewood Actress who uses a wheelchair a likely first for Broadway

Ali+Stroker

By Laura Herzog | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com

RIDGEWOOD — Ali Stroker may be the first person who uses a wheelchair to be in a Broadway production, ever.The 28-year-old Ridgewood-raised singer, actress and philanthropist says “it’s the ultimate dream come true” to star in a special production of “Spring Awakening”—a musical, by Deaf West Theatre, that is also performed in American Sign Language.

“I have dreamt of this since I was 7 years old (and saw “Beauty and the Beast”). I have wanted to be on Broadway my whole life,” said Stoker, who now lives in New York. “A lot of the Broadway theaters are not (wheelchair) accessible back stage. There were many sorts of obstacles I feel like, but obviously, when I got this opportunity, it felt like everything aligned in the most perfect way.”
