okay.. so if you were the tall bearded man who looked suspiciously like Neil Gaiman in downtown soho/London and heard me aggressively talking about Mike Faist bc he’s on the West End and also turned around and laughed when I loudly stated ‘YO THAT DUDE LOOKS LIKE NEIL”… I’m so sorry…😭💀
[Picture this]
Me and a friend walking, talking, maybe inebriated 👀🤏🧐
Me: “Its a little offensive that I’m not married to him. I’m single, he’s beautiful and talented, I don’t get it”
Friend: “Perfect Match😅👀”
Me: [Almost trips]
Me:
Me: [See’s a man with a beard and the aura of audacity - just enough to write soul crushing stories about demons and gods and scary roads]
Me: “YO THAT MAN LOOKS LIKE NEIL”
Friend:
Friend: “..who”
Me:
Friend: “OH”
Both: [look back to see the man laugh]

having a ton of different productions of newsies is cool and all, like it’s awesome that it’s been adapted into so many successful shows with such amazing cast members, but .. but the issue comes with fanfiction.
i am reading a javid fic and it’s nice but then suddenly my brain decides that corey cott is cuddling with ryan kopel?? the next scene comes, i’m like ok let’s stick to one version of newsies— ah shit it’s michael ahomka-lindsay and ben fankhauser.
DAN DELUCA WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE??
jacks in a scene with morris delancey and suddenly there’s two mike faists talking to each other and my brain doesn’t know what to do
and then finally my brain decides to imagine christian bale and david moscow for the fic But then the shot changes and What The Fuck how did christian morph into jeremy jordan

my official (but non-exhaustive) ranking of the delancey brother actor pairs’ believability as brothers, as inspired by my half-joking post saying i was going to “rank them on a scale from ‘assumed to be twins’ to ‘get accused of lying about being related’, which was then heavily requested
lets gooooo
Tumblr media
mike faist (morris) and brendon stimson (oscar)
oh, those are brothers, babey! could easily be twins. definitely related, definitely raised together. rarely separated, but can be. they’re comfortable. the newsies assume they’re twins.
Tumblr media
george crawford (morris) and alex james hatton (oscar)
those are brothers! close brothers, too. not twins, though. do not separate them. god knows they will not do it themselves. the newsies argue about whether or not they’re twins.
Tumblr media
adam kaplan (morris) and brendon stimson (oscar)
sure! they could easily be brothers. maybe half-brothers. still definitely raised together. usually interacting with each other, but not always. several of the newsies argue about their relatedness on the basis of hair colour difference, but the similarities in their face are raised by others to quell those arguments.
Tumblr media
shon greenblatt (oscar) and david sheinkopf (morris)
could be brothers. particularly brothers with a larger age gap. hold the contempt of brothers raised together. would rather bicker amongst themselves than interact with anybody else. will separate frequently and then soon reconvene. one looks like their mum and the other looks like their dad.
Tumblr media
devin lewis (morris) and anthony norman (oscar)
could be brothers. could be stepbrothers. will try to separate, with varying success. as capable of talking to each other as they are of arguing with each other. again, the mum-dad difference. the newsies will fairly frequently discuss whether or not they’re really related.
Tumblr media
jack scott (oscar) and mike faist (morris)
could be brothers? if they are, they have the vibe of two brothers meeting for the first time in adulthood, or who only interact periodically at family functions and the like. they are not capable of interacting for especially long. could also be half- or step-brothers. the newsies do not believe they’re related.
Tumblr media
alex prakken (oscar) and michael ryan (morris)
i’m not fully convinced these men know each other. recently adopted. or maybe (half-)siblings raised largely separately. could equally be step-siblings who only just really met. talk to each other like coworkers, but do not dislike each other. the newsies absolutely do not believe they are related, and think it’s more of an extended bit they’re doing. to add to the hilarity: neither of them look anything like wiesel either. it’s assumed the “family” bit is some kind of elaborate mafia-style ruse.

proof that they were casting younger and younger newsies since broadway
These are the ages of the obc members in 2012 and the tour members in 2016 (when they did the proshot)
Race - (OBC) R. Breslin 23 // 19 Ben. C (Proshot)
Finch - (OBC) Aaron 29 // 22 Iain (Proshot)
Mush - (OBC) Ephraim 27 // 20 Nick (Proshot)
Albert - (OBC) Garett 26 // 21 Sky (Proshot)
Jojo - (OBC) Thayne 30 // 21 Joshua. B (Proshot)
Elmer (OBC) Evan 25 // 19 A. Zas (Proshot)
the ones that are similar is the
Specs - (OBC) R. Steele 22 // 22 Jordan. S (Proshot)
Sniper - (OBC) Alex. W 26 // 26 Daniel Swizter (Proshot)
Tommy Boy - (OBC) Tommy 22 // 21 M. Dameski (Proshot)
Oscar Delancey (OBC) Brendon 25 // 24 A. Norman (Proshot)
the ones that are the opposite:
Morris Delancey - (OBC) Mike. F 20 // 23 Devin. L (Proshot)
(more severe)
Romeo - (OBC) Andy 17 // 27 Nico (Proshot)
Buttons - (OBC) Jess. L 20 // 28 Chaz (Proshot)
the one that I couldn't figure out:
Henry - (OBC) Kyle was 27 // but I couldn't for the life of me find Michael Rio's age
(Ignoring New- Newsies (roles created in the proshot that doesn't really have an equivalent in the OBC)
Mike and Ike - (OBC) Mike Faist and Brendon Stimson // Jacob and David Guzman (Proshot) (because it's just the Delanceys in the OBC and tour but its purpose changed only in proshot - being new newsies instead of just roles for the Delanceys to play when they're offstage)
(to add on to mike and ike - it's the same thing to tommy boy but I only did tommy boy because tommy was spot in the proshot and not tommy boy)
Smalls - (OBC) Laurie Veldheer // Julian DeGuzman (Proshot) THEY CHANGED THIS CHARACTER DRASTICALLY, they should have kept my girl Smalls and gave Julian another name cause wtf
these are the true new-newsie names that didn't exist in OBC
Kenny - Jack Sippel - (name inspired by Kenny Ortega)
Hot Shot - JP Ferreri
Vince / Myron - Stephen Hernandez
Kid Blink - Andy Richardson (92s name)
Willie / Bart - Andrew Wilson

fellow fansies - I have complied a (hopefully) comprehensive list of cast members for anyone new to the fandom or for those who may like a refresher on the casts. I've not included every single character, just the main ones, so if you'd like a character adding just ask; also if you notice any cast members are missing or have been labelled incorrectly in any way, please let me know, I want this list to be as accurate as possible. characters with a dash (-) for any of the categories I wasn't sure if they were included in that production or not. if you're able to fill in any of the blanks that would be much appreciated. any questions, please let me know <3

muses i have muse for (cannot imagine why) under the cut, like this if you'd be interested in me making a starter for you from one of them (taken from your plots)
Tumblr media
damian riggin | david tennant fc. fifty three. cis man. he / him. bisexual. paramedic. hard-working, caring and self-sufficent. the youngest of three brothers, and the black sheep of his family. practically raised himself and his nieces and nephews, will take anyone under his wing if they look like they need it. he's soft, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a bite, or pack a punch. loves with every inch of his tall, skinny soul. has a tendency to run when things get too real, because he's used to disappointment.
Tumblr media
stanley butler | michael sheen fc. fifty one. cis man. he / him. bisexual. former gang member / criminal lawyer. born to a family that did not hide the fact that to do well in life, you have to work harder -- or work smarter. the man can't remember the last time he didn't have a job. whether it was selling sweeties at school, to becoming an advisor to a kingpin gang leader....he's really done it all. hardly workshy, in fact lives to work. has flings galore but has yet to meet the one. or maybe he has and he's pretending otherwise. has a daughter he knows nothing about. will do everything he can to help someone in need. hates authority. hates the police. is intelligent and spiteful. very good with his hands.
Tumblr media
robin sawyer | nicholas galitzine fc. twenty six. cis man. he / him. bisexual. youtuber / aspiring screenwriter @ silly boys studios. a dreamer who lives vicariously through the scripts (and secret novels) he writes. the quietest of the little group he works with and often works on his own. dreams of an epic love, but doubts it'll ever happen for him. shy and struggles to stand up for himself, but luckily he has his older brother looking out for him there. fact is, despite his hunger for real, true love...it honestly terrifies him. ask him on a date and he's likely to run a mile. dreams of writing a movie or a tv show one day, whether it be based on one of his novels, or something else entirely.
Tumblr media
zayn delgado | taylor zakhar perez fc. thirty. cis man. he / him. bisexual. tiktok content creator / twitch streamer. he's a man who goes for what he wants and takes it with both hands. has dreams of being a comedian, or an actor or something, anything that'll get him out there living and not just surviving. a flirt and good at it, and will do anything he can to not be entirely alone with his own thoughts. loves with his whole heart. is better and one night stands. really wants to make something of himself and he's willing to put the work in to see it through.
Tumblr media
quincy dupont | mike faist fc. twenty seven. cis man. he / him. bisexual. socialite + boxer. rich, clueless and suffering from middle child syndrome. loves to be physical and that's how he got into boxing. he doesn't necessarily have to do it, he doesn't necessarily have to work at all -- but he enjoys it, much to his parents and siblings chagrin. proper himbo with full on himbo energy. says silly things daily, someone should write a book about it. lives every day like it could be his last, takes risks so it's always more likely to be his last, too. the kid who was always covered in mud and climbing up trees, even if his parents always had him in gucci.

𝙼𝚒𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚎𝚕 𝙳𝚊𝚟𝚒𝚍 𝙵𝚊𝚒𝚜𝚝 | 𝟹𝟶 𝚢𝚘𝚊 | 𝙳𝚛𝚊𝚖𝚊 𝚃𝚎𝚊𝚌𝚑𝚎𝚛
Michael David Faist was born on January 5, 1992, in Gahanna, Ohio and was adopted by his parents, Julia and Kurt Faist. Growing up he spent his summers doing construction work to help his parents with their real estate business. Before moving to New York to pursue his love for theater.
As a child he fell in love with theater through watching old MGM films. His parents happened to have a bunch of Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire movies lying around. Those two men in particular, are the sole reason as to why Mike later on managed to persuade his parents to put him in to dance class so he could learn tap dancing. Mike has always had a wild imagination and as a child used to create a bunch of imaginary characters. Searching for a path to let these creative juices flow, he found it in teacher. 
Whilst in school himself, he dreaded to come to terms with the fact that once he had graduated he would perhaps not be surrounded by people who shared his love for anything theater, on a daily basis. One simple solution to that was just this, to not leave school. — Mike lives for reading scripts, working on the school productions. But more than anything, seeing the kids faces light up as they’re being heard and given confirmation that the creativity that flows within them does not have to stay within the borders of their own bodies. — Another great thing about being a teacher is getting to go in to the teachers rooms, fully legally and not just to snoop as him and his friends used to. The coffee never tastes as good as all the teachers made it seem back in the day.
Mike tends to be a very outgoing person, in the right company. In other cases, you might just find him in the background, keeping to himself. He lives on his own in a flat, single for just about three years now. You’ll find his flat fairly tidy, with various of scripts always scattered here and there. The box of his tap shoes covered in a fair amount of dust — but he’ll still whip them out every now and then. Knock on his door at the right time and you might find him fiddling to put away a camera for the self tapes he still sends to some auditions, in hopes that there might just somewhere along the line be a project for him that would mean he could graze the stage somewhere. Although, he’d never admit to still doing that. The tapes.. nor keeping the dream of walking out on a stage.
