k so we've heard of jesse tuck as crutchie but what about jesse tuck as racetrack?
i know why we did the whole jesse/crutchie thing, so here there's no connection but i think they're very similar. they look similar (in my mind at least), they have very similar personalities, they're in the same age range, and jesse doesn't have to fake a limp (unless you go with one of my favourite routes where the water wears off). don't get me wrong, i love the crutchie is jesse au, but i also think this one's kinda neat
#idk why this popped into my head#but imagine jesse saying “the woild... is yer erster”#very silly#random stuff from my brain#jesse tuck#crutchie morris#racetrack higgins#tuck everlasting#tuck everlasting musical#newsies

Newsies (Live)
Ok so I rewatched newsies live at like,,Christmas and have been caught in a major newsies spiral so here are my thoughts 😻‼️
Jeremy Jordan 🥰 I get that he was kinda old to play Jack but Idc he’s iconic I’m so glad they called him back to play him
Same with Kara she’s an icon and literally the only Katherine I will accept for the proshot
Completely random but I’m glad it was a proshot and not an attempt to make it into a musical movie 😭 (especially since 92sies is literally already a movie lmao)
I also rewatched the og movie and watching it reminded me how much they BUTCHERED SPOT’S SCREEN TIME 😕 and therefore Tommy’s screen time 😔
Also Tommy Bracco he is literally the only spot I will accept (and like,,the only spot on bway that Ik so 😭)
The bg newsies 🥰 Literally all of them they were all icons the cast was literally perfect it’s unreal
ETHAN 😭 HE’S SUCH A CUTIE AND IS SO DRAMATIC IT’S ADORABLE
Andrew Keenan Bolger, also so glad they got him back as crutchie cuz he is an I c o n (as much as I love Andy I deffo prefer Andrew as crutchie lmao)
The fact that there were enough members in the cast that there was literally only 1 case of a newsie doubling up on characters
Literally the entirety of seize the day
The fact that Jeremy runs away from all of the dancing 😭
Also how Jeremy almost kills himself at the end with the heel click/bell kick 💀
The fact Michael (Tommy boy) has a rlly bad American accent but that’s ok cuz I can’t do one either 🥰
BROOKLYN’S HERE 😻‼️‼️
How Tommy’s (spot) eyeliner/eye lashes are sm more noticeable than everyone else, especially his bottom lashes lmao
How tf did Morris not hurt his hand when he hit the printing press?? Like gurl what 😭
The Delancey brothers - they were like,,deffo less comical than in the og movie but still rlly silly 😭
The fact morris literally just stands on top of the newspaper bit for like the entire show
Them bonking heads (I am a Delancey apologist sorry guys 😔)
Ben Tyler Cook 🥰 I absolutely adore Ryan Breslin and actually would’ve loved to see him return as Race but god Ben is so silly I love him sm 😭
“The woild is yer erster” - Literally no one beats his version of this sorry 😭
Pulitzer - He was so good and literally for what bro 😭
”It’s a compromise we can all live with” - Jack Kelly 1899
BEN FANKHAUSER‼️ Also literally the only appropriate Davey fr
The way at the start of Brooklyn’s here Jeremy hits the printing press in time with the music
The set 😻 Ik it’s kinda simple but literally shut up it’s iconic
The height difference between Tommy and Ben at the end of Brooklyn’s here and like,,everywhere lmao
Honestly the height difference between Tommy and everyone
Joshua Burrage - He’s so silly I love him sm
MEDDAAA‼️ GOD HER VOICE IS JUST SO UGH 😫 AND SHE’S SUCH A SWEETHEART LIKE PLS MA’AM BE MY MOTHER 😭
Will never get over how they can sing like that whilst dancing
HOW DOES BEN COOK NOT DROP HIS CIGAR WHILST DANCING SO WELL LIKE???
So sad Ryan Steele wasn’t there 😔 The dude who played specs was good tho (+Michael covered for the turns so 🤷♀️)
Hannah was so unserious she’s so funny 😭
Once and for all - this song will literally always give me chills
TOMMY NOT THROWING THE PAPER STACK HIGH ENOUGH DURING ONCE AND FOR ALL 😭
Ben Cook kicking himself in the face during seize the day 💀
THE CAMERA ANGLE WE GET DURING THE RALLY RIGHT BEFORE JEREMY ENTERS
The hug between Tommy and Michael (Spot+Tommy Boy) at the end when Jeremy tells them they won ☹️
The fact Oscar and Morris went for Les first?? Like gurl I get it he’s probably easiest to carry but what were yall trying to achieve with that 😭
The fact that the Delanceys like,,actually got their asses beat like that shit kinda looked like it hurt 💀
SANTA FEEEE‼️ Iconic 😻
The way Crutchie screams for Jack ☹️ although that one “what ya say” meme where it starts playing after Oscar hits him has kinda ruined that scene for me cuz I keep laughing abt it 😕
That one two people cartwheel during the scene change
”I’m glad to have you back :)” “Shuddup” - Jack and Davey (THEY’RE GAY YOUR HONOUR)
There is literally no heterosexual explanation for that scene
THE LOOK DAVEY GIVES JACK WHEN THEY REALISE HE’S A SELLOUT
Once again literally no heterosexual explanation for that scene
Ok but literally just how much fun all of the newsies look like they’re having?? Especially in king of new york like they honestly look like they’re having the time of their lives 😭
“That’s disgusting” - David Jacobs, 1899 (when he’s a victorian newsboy who cares about hygiene 🥰🤭)
Ik Pulitzer saif it too but Idc ok the dude who played Pulitzer was kinda hot anyways (I don’t make the rules sorry 🤷♀️ [I am sorry for this tho my taste in men is uh 😨])
That one thing Jeremy does after he shakes Roosevelt’s hand for the first time 😭
”Your majesty” - Crutchie, 1899 (Referring to the governor 😭)
Maybe I should just make one of these with my favourite lines cuz I have so many
Honestly literally the whole fucking musical it was iconic and I am forever grateful that it exists 😻
Honestly there’s probably so so so much more but that’s all I can like,,fully remember rn but I’ll definitely rewatch it and update this lmao
Overall I absolutely adore the musical, and I’m glad the proshot exists cuz it is I c o n i c (also I am totally gonna make a list of my favourite lines from it lmao)

I was watching Newsies last night as one does and my mom and dad were in the living room with me.
I generally would you know like mouth along the words to the entire thing but I was kind of feeling like my parents didn’t need to see that so I only did it over favorite bits (woild is yer erster, poor guys head is spinning, you have a very interesting face, that stuff)
BUT me mouthing the words is how I get the excited energy out without doing other things (which are things I can only do out of my parents sight such as happy lil stompy circles and shaking my hands out) so the whole fucking time I was sitting there wrapped in a ball, so full of energy that it physically hurt
so then ofc I needed to do SOMETHING so every once in a while I’d just energy max out and have to scream or laugh or something, n my parents made fun of me for that so I decided I’d just mouth words along and then they made fun of me again for it so I’m kind of sad (also I almost made it to Brooklyns here without turning it off but then my mom decided that I, with enough energy to fucking fight someone and win, should go to bed)

I found the script for Newsies Jr online and need to share the changes bc there's a lot, this won't be absolutely everything, just the big/main changes that I noticed, this will be all over the place but anyways, enjoy
DISCLAIMER: I am in no way making fun of Newsies Jr, it's great that community theatres/schools etc. who might not have the means to put on the full show are still able to put on a production of Newsies, this is purely for entertainment/intrigue purposes
the show starts with the newsies shouting different headlines and selling papes to the audience (which is also how uksies starts so that's fun)
there are a lot of line changes (so I won't cover every single one), which is understandable but very jarring to someone like me who knows the script off by heart. this is obvious straight away as they pretty much changed crutchie's first line (sidenote non binary crutchie we love to see it so I will be using they/them pronouns below for the character)
newsies jr makes it canon that crutchie's bad leg is due to polio
for some reason crutchie is named casey (correct me if I'm wrong but pretty sure we've made it canon that their name is charlie so weird change but oh well)
manhattan girlsies!! (nancy, pigtails, hazel + muriel)
they cut the back and forth between race and weasel, but kept his interaction with albert which is a bit strange
race doesn't have a cigar
there is like no romance between jack and katherine, honestly they might as well have just replaced her with denton from 92sies
no idea why but for some reason crutchie is in the street scene before they go to meddas for the first time, and the scene in the theatre, whilst I do like them being given some more stage time, don't really understand why they're in these two scenes bc it doesn't really add anything
the bowery beauties are the bowery brigade (their names are ethel, ada & olive)
that's rich has been replaced by a new song called just a pretty face, never planned on you/don't come a-knockin' has been cut
they cut something to believe in and watch what happens reprise
yes, no poor guys head is spinning
they also cut woild is yer erster
letter from the refuge is moved to just after santa fe, which ngl I kinda prefer
some lines have been moved into different scenes, like the 'you've got real talent' bit that katherine says to jack has been moved to what is supposed to be the wwhr scene
also for some reason, the bit where jack is like 'you got a name?' is in the scene that's supposed to be at jacobi's where katherine is trying to convince them to let her cover the strike, BUT the scene between her and jack in medda's theatre was pretty much completely rewritten and she introduced herself there (aka jack kelly is not a good listener confirmed)
okay this bit really confused me, so they added a new character named dorothy who is the daughter of the guy who owns the trib, but they kept bill, and darcy (who in this version is katherine's photographer, but could still be kept as the son of the guy who owns the trib like he is in the broadway/tour/uk versions)
so thats all I could think of for now, will add if/when I remember more :)

here are some of my theatre dream roles nobody asked for
eurydice - hadestown : i love this musical legitimately so fucking much, we had sydney parra as our eurydice and she goddamn killed it
angel - rent : such an icon fr. she's the reason people learned to love. (goddamn i sound cheesy) id also love to play maureen tho
ilse - spring awakening : all her songs and vocals are so beautiful and perfectly in my range and id kill to play her. she doesn't have much stage time but her character is so memorable and powerful
enjolras - les miserables : he is an icon and he is the moment. he leads a fucking revolution and i would love to do that. genderbent les amis in this show would be so sick. also headcannon that he is a homosexual. enjoltaire will happen because i said so.
race - newsies : would also be sick as a genderbent role and i love ben tyler cook more than i love myself. the woild is yer erster.

Come onnn remember a couple hours ago? The world was your oyster!!
Side note, I always say “erster” instead of oyster because I watched newsies too many times.
The woild is yer erster (in a 1920s New York accent)
i did manage to finally eat dinner at a reasonable hour of one in the morning. now preparing to get ready for bed at an equally reasonable 3:35 am after accidentally journaling for an hour

Bestie, as someone who has never seen newsies and only knows about it through your posts * Waves hand* rant? ramble? elaborate? summarize? whatever you want to call it! Imagine i had never seen Cats and you were about to change my life by telling me about it. Just absolutely go ham telling me literally everything about it. Literally anything. Which version should i watch first? Headcanons? Favorite scenes? Favorite characters? Favorite songs? Whatever! All of the above or another sixth thing i haven't thought of. I am curious about Newsies and i want to know more! Please Share! :D
YES YES YES THANK YOU BESTIE I'M SO EXCITED TO TALK ABOUT NEWSIES
okay so Newsies first started as a movie done by Disney, directed by Kenny Ortega (yes, THAT Kenny Ortega) and with music by Alan Menken, and it was released in 1992, starring Christian Bale as Jack Kelly!
the musical is based off of the 1899 New York Newsies strike, and focuses on the Manhattan borough, led by Jack Kelly, who strike against Joseph Pulitzer. David Jacobs and his younger brother, Les, join the strike, and the newsies work to bring in other boroughs and draw support from other kids working in the city.
now, the frustrating thing is that the stage musical deviates from the movie in a few points:
in the 1992 movie, there's a reporter named Denton, who offers to write about the strike. Also in the 1992 movie is David's sister, Sarah, who is Jack's love interest. the musical basically combines Denton and Sarah into Katherine, who is a writer for the Sun (like Denton) and who is Jack's main love interest.
the 1992 movie makes it VERY easy to figure out which newsie is which, and focuses on the newsies as a whole, and their relationships with each other. the musical is MUCH more centered around just Jack, as well as just his relationship with Katherine. In the 1992 movie, Jack and Sarah's relationship is more background.
i'd personally go with watching the 1992 movie first. it's the entire reason i fell in love with the show, and it's the version i honestly prefer. Christian Bale's Jack is SO soft and wonderful, and i love his interactions with the rest of the newsies. I'm not saying the Broadway version is bad, but it's different, so i'd say do the OG version first!
i honestly think the reason it was easy for me to come into the Cats fandom and start identifying the different cats was because of Newsies lmao. There are so many different background boys, but like i said, the 1992 movie makes it EXTREMELY easy to identify all of them. it's the stage version that makes it ridiculously hard to figure out who is who, which is why i suggest doing the original movie first, and learning the characters from that!
note: the Broadway version (specifically the U.S. tour) added a song for Crutchie called "Letter from the Refuge", which isn't included in the original cast recording, but the pro-shoot they did a few years ago has it in there!
ok so some of my favorite scenes from both the movie and stage show!!!!! (probably most of these will be from the movie lmao)
1992: Kloppman (the owner of the lodging house that the newsies stay in) wakes Jack up, and they have a very adorable father/son-type back and forth with each other
1992: where Racetrack (one of my favorite newsies) is asking for a towel, and Skittery (my other favorite newsie) says "for a buck i might" and the scene is just so PURE and brotherly like???? they're siblings?????
1992: "dear me, i fear the sewer may have backed up during the night" "or is it... the Delancey brothers!" they're little SHITS and i love them
1992: "baby born with three heads" "must be from brooklyn"
1992: gotta highlight @cutesiewooren's boy Blink here, his line "a saturday night with the mayer's daughter" gets me EVERY SINGLE TIME in "king of new york"
broadway: also speaking of "king of new york" it's impossible to talk about it without talking about the broadway line of "and when your famous... the woild... is yer erster!" "ya what?" "ya know, the fancy claim with the pearl inside?"
1992: "your honor, i object" "on what grounds" "on the grounds of Brooklyn" spot conlon my FUCKING beloved
broadway: any of the background dialogue during the "king of new york" tap scene, it's perfect
my favorite songs would probably have to be:
"Carrying the Banner"
"Seize the Day"
"Watch What Happens"
"High Times, Hard Times" (1992 movie)
"Something to Believe In"
"Once and For All"
now for favorite characters!! once again, because the 1992 movie does SUCH a better job at giving each newsie a unique personality and highlights them, it's mainly based off of those versions!
Mush... my love... my boy... my darling... my everything...
Racetrack... Racer... love...
(gotta include both max and ben's racers, they're iconic)
David!!! ofc!!!! my beloved!!!! he's just like me fr!!
spot conlon!!!!!
skittery!!!! i've done a whole appreciation post for him but he!!!!
literally i could name every single newsie bc i love all of them. jack is a given, but i specifically love 1992 Jack. I've been meaning to make a whole analysis post on it, but Christian Bale just really plays such a heartwarming and soft Jack. His interactions with the rest of the newsies, with Sarah, with the adults, you can just feel how much he cares about everyone around him.
a little fun fact about the 1992 movie:
while in production, the newsie boys basically shot a mini-horror movie called "Blood Drips Heavily on Newsies Square" that is the FUNNIEST fucking thing i've ever watched in my life
like it features all of the cast + a lot of the crew, and you can absolutely tell this was made by a bunch of teenage boys who had way too much time on their hands in between filming
you can probably find the whole thing on youtube, and i 100% recommend watching it
and a few cast crossover facts bc i can't resist:
Jess LeProtto (2016 revival Mungojerrie) was Jojo in the original Broadway cast!
Mukeni Nel (who was part of the 2019 international tour as Bill Bailey + Mistoffelees cover, as well as the 2020 Asia tour as Carbucketty) is currently playing Jojo in the UK Tour of Newsies!
Giuseppe Bausilio (2016 revival Carbucketty) was also in the original Broadway cast, and I believe later performed as Racetrack!
Mike Faist (who was a Delancey brother/ensemble member in the original Broadway cast) was the original Connor Murphy in Dear Evan Hansen
quite a few of the OBC newsie actors (Including Jess and Mike) were part of the 2021 West Side Story film!
Jeremy Jordan (OBC Jack Kelly) has done SO much but my favorite fact is that he voices Varian in the Tangled animated series!
also i saw Kara Lindsay (OBC Katherine) as Glinda in Wicked back in 2015 or 2016, and she was absolutely INCREDIBLE
and finally, a few hcs:
Jack is unofficially adopted by the Jacobs family as soon as they meet him, they see this scruffy jaded boy and immediately go "he's ours"
Katherine's newsie name is "Scribble", and ONLY Jack is allowed to call her "Ace"
Sarah's is "Mama Bear" because she can and will go absolutely feral if she sees any of her boys getting hurt
Spot can't swim (idk why, i just think it's funny if he lives near the docks and can't swim to save his life)
no one's actually sure if Specs needs glasses, or if they're fake. at this point, they're too afraid to ask, and Specs just thinks it's absolutely hilarious that they're trying to figure it out.
Patrick's mother (who's shown at the beginning of the movie during "Carrying the Banner") never finds her son, but she, like Mrs. Jacobs and Medda, becomes a type of surrogate mother for a lot of the newsies.
that's all i can think about right now lmao, but i love getting to rant and ramble about one of my absolute favorite musicals of ALL time!!! and you know i'm always down to answer asks about newsies any time, bestie!!
