Breaking barriers! Sandra Mae Frank, Warren “Wawa” Snipe and Sean Forbes are switching up the game — and making history — as ASL performers at Super Bowl LVI.
Some viewers may be glued to their TVs as Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow attempts to set a new record during the Sunday, February 13, game. If his team takes home the Lombardi Trophy, he will become the first athlete to win a Heisman Trophy, a college National Title and the Super Bowl.

The star-studded festivities, however, won’t stop when the players are in the locker rooms. In fact, musical performances by Mickey Guyton and Jhene Aiko will kick off the entire event on Sunday. Mary Mary, the gospel duo of sisters Erica and Tina Campbell, will also take the field pre-show to sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”
Frank, for her part, will have her time to shine as the ASL interpreter for each of the three pre-show performances.
Midway through the game, fans will be treated to a massive treat when Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Eminem and Kendrick Lamar heat up SoFi Stadium during the Pepsi Halftime Show.
This year’s halftime presentation will also be an NFL first, as Wawa and Forbes will sign the rappers’ biggest hits beside them.
