#newsies 2011

[no-i-wanna-go-down]

It’s hat day at school (normally wearing hats is against dress code) so I scrounged up some suspenders and a cap! The goal was to look like a newsie but I don’t have a waistcoat so :I

“Hey, Crutchie, any idea what day the fourth o’ July is? Been hearin’ fireworks all night eva sense July started ‘nd now I’m confused.”

[glitterparpaing]

it seems to be rightfully impossible for Mike Faist to have a major role in a movie/musical without making it unbearably homoerotic

and honestly? love that for him

[jackmkelly]

kinda obsessed with how some random tuesday in november 2022 newsies uk started and brooklyn was all girls and that was that. i never looked back. havent referred to the brooklyn newsies as men since. those girls r so important to me.

Jack: Are you sure you know what you're doing?

Katherine, trying to fly a plane: Relax, I interviewed a pilot once.

i still think it’s a crime that they put the aging original leads in the newsies proshot when they could’ve had joey barreiro and andy richardson 😭

Andrew Lloyd Webber had a 43 year Broadway streak from 1979-2023 that was maintained by the runs of Evita, Cats, The Phantom of the Opera, and Bad Cinderella. I wondered if any other prolific composers or lyricists had that sort of streak maintained by multiple runs (and not just one singular long run).

I have found that Tim Rice has had a significant Broadway streak going from 1993 to the present through the revival of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Beauty and the Beast, and The Lion King.

Alan Menken has had a modest streak from 2011 to the present via the runs of Sister Act, Newsies, and Aladdin.

I also checked Sondheim, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Jerry Herman, and Kander and Ebb but found nothing significant for any of them.

Perhaps the next thing I will check for is number of shows running simultaneously.

let's talk bonnie & clyde (2022)!

so apparently this is just something i do now, and i'm not against it (let's immortalize these first time watching thoughts so i can laugh at them in the future after i've then watched it 1000 times XD).

...it's very shrunken because there were less...coherent...thoughts this time around and more...ADAFJAJFJALSFJADKJFAF

ahhhhHHHHHHHHHHHH

and more

AJFKJADF:AJLDFJKADJFAJFAD

so you can just imagine like ten of those in between each bullet point 🫣

act 1 general thoughts

i'm a little confused as to why they took out so much of bonnie's story in "picture show," but i suppose it is a concert...?

it's so odd to see clyde in hd, but DEFINITELY not unwelcome

i love blanche, underrated character

is it weird that i get slight jack vibes from this version of clyde? i'm also just getting more jeremy vibes in general, which isn't bad, but it's interesting to see the choices that he's making and how they differ from 2011

"you love who you love" was 👌

i can't really explain my "raise a little hell" feelings, so....AKJDFSLKJFSJFLAJ

AKJFAAJFLKAJFJADIFJA

there is something about jeremy's clyde voice...

i miss the car, but this was supposed to be a concert...

act 2 general thoughts

i also miss the "bang bang, you're dead" from young clyde after he shoots someone for the first time

"grip it hard between your fingers"...do i...detect a bit of newsies accent...?

they really be playing up the comedy during the bullet removal scene, and i'm not against it 😆

as much as i adore it in concerts, it is nice to see the sincere version of "bonnie" every once and a while

RAISEALITTLEHELLREPRISE........that's all.

LITTLE CLYDE LITTLE CLYDE LITTLE CLYDE THE SWITCH

i never know how to end these things, but that's apparently where my (coherent) thoughts ended 🫣

verdict: i'm very attached to the 2011 production—but i'll never say no to clyde jeremy, and i had a great time (and the little clyde switch at the end killed me...uh, no pun intended) :D

bonus: me trying to remember why i took this screenshot
