My Newsies (UKsies) ramblings of small details that I have noticed from various performances.
I've seen the show 4 times.
Reblog with adds.
Unless otherwise stated these observations are relating to the principal cast.
I don't know if these are in every show, or are just things I've seen.
Davey starts the show with his waistcoat done up, as he becomes part of the Newsies it becomes undone. He only does it up when he is around Katherine and when he goes to Pulitizer.
Davey is the eye roll king. He rolls his eyes when Jack persists about them being partners, he rolls his eyes at Medda when she tells him to let Les keep on looking at the girls, he rolls his eyes at Katherine when she first starts talking to the boys at the diner.
Jack hits Les (Nadim) and sends him flying, and Davey is restrained by another Newsie.
When Jack and Davey confront the scabs Crutchie stands facing Woodside holding his rosary and recites the Lords prayer. He looks up to the cieling as he prays.
When the Newsies are 'sleeping' during TBL they aren't just catching their breath from the insane dancing, they lay their twitching like they are dreaming.
At Madda's a Newsie pickpockets one of the patron's (Bronx side), but all he gets is a hankie and looks really sad.
Alex James-Hatton plays a patron at Maddas, he leers at one of the girls and reaches out to touch her, and Madda swats his hand away
In CTB two Newsies almost get into a fight and have to be seperated, as they walk away one pulls a kissy face at the other.
Crutchie and Specs have rosaries on
The first time they go through the circulation gate Race looks up at the races results on the board above Flushing
In CTB the nun who gives Elmer a coin and asks when he is going to church keeps eye contact with him for her entire solo. It was kinda flirtatious
Morris Delancy living his best life kicking balled up papes at the Newsies in the fight scene
When the Brooklyn Newsies come to the rally Spot goes up to Davey, gets into his personal space and winks at him. He pushes Les behind him and steps back, almost falling into Les.
On the wall by the Headline board there are the race times and results
Next to that there is an advert for barbers (link to KofNY)
A Newsie pick pockets Darcy at the start
When Jack asks for volunteers to go to Brooklyn two of the Newsies put their bags over their heads
When the Newsie who order seltza takes the water instead, Race grabs the cup of seltza, but it is snatched back quickly and Jacobi slaps him round the back of this head
Albert checks out Davey in the circulation queue when he first arrives. Albert looks him up and down when his back is turned. He then gestures up and down with his hands (up and down in the direction of Davey's back) to the Newsie behind him. He then points at Davey's backside and grins at the other newsies lecherously and waggles his eyebrows.
There's something about Christ on the wall above the Bronx (I didn't get a picture)
Race walks upto Wiesel and closes the tin and just says "no"
When everyone leaves Jack and Pulitzer to negotiate, Hannah turns to Madda and says "I love your show by the way. It's wonderful"
When Madda says to FDR "the back seat I've heard so much about" he waggles his eyebrows and goes "ey ey"
Specs points up to Jack's penthouse to tell Katherine where to go.
Hi! i’ve been working for a few days to make these a thing and i’m so happy with how they turned out. please check them out if you’re an avid musical fan like myself!! ❤️
So… I’ve just realised this somehow didn’t make my grid from the end of last month. I finally made an opening preview night in the West End. The atmosphere was electric and the choreography outstanding. We’re in love and already booked to go again. Everybody, watch on Disney+ and then flock to see this show… please! Also, amazing new venue. Big shout out to @saweeks3 who is beyond patient and understanding of how this is no longer the easiest thing in the world for me. But she just slowly encourages me along ❤️ Two last performances and one first… a good year of theatre #Newsies #LoveIt #Musical #Theatre #WestEnd #Wembley #EnglandPlayed #Anxiety #Sisters #Besties #Family #OpeningPreview #FirstEverShowing #GoingAgainSoon #NewYearTheatreSale #Maccas #ClassyDinner (at Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmNCQdKLmhRLsGPde6HAR64b-OxxtgdEb2pYjk0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
I just had an idea for @scottyzoomz newsies newspaper and wanted your thoughts on it! So, there is a segment in the paper that briefly talks about current broadway, westend and touring musicals.
And I was just wondering if, for the touring musicals/plays, it should be based on country/area. Or if it should be a more generic overview of musicals on tour.
“Watching Wicked on Broadway is like embarking on a spellbinding journey through the untold story of Oz.” The show was absolutely amazing. @tanyaacaiturri 😊🎫💛🧙🏼♀️… #wicked #broadway #musicaltheatre #elphaba #musical #musicals #theatre #wickedmusical #dearevanhansen #glinda #wickedthemusical #art #heathers #halloween #meangirls #broadwaymusical #bemorechill #witch #bway #beetlejuice #westend #hadestown #dark #defyinggravity #newsies #six #music #love #hamiltonmusical 📜🖋️
Going to see newsies at the westend at lassssttttt I saw a recording of the Broadway version at the cinema a couple of years ago. When they announced its finally coming to London I was so excited. I hope it lives to my expectations, especially the cast :D

Les Misérables, a sung-through musical based on the novel of the same name, had its world premiere in September of 1980 at the Palais des Sports in Paris. The production was directed by filmmaker Robert Hossein and ran for over 100 performances. #lesmiserables #lesmis #broadway #musicals #musicaltheatre #musical #theatre #enjolras #rables #hamilton #westend #lesmiz #dearevanhansen #victorhugo #bemorechill #lesmiserablesmusical #grantaire #heathers #eponine #hadestown #enjoltaire #jeanvaljean #wicked #javert #phantomoftheopera #hamiltonmusical #lesamisdelabc #aarontveit #hughjackman #newsies https://www.instagram.com/p/CjlmqYpIbPp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
... tbh I just want to talk to some of you people since I’m a newbie here. And no,I haven’t seen a Broadway show yet ‘cause it’s way too expenisive and I live on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, so don’t judge me please. I just lovemy men and women on the stage there.
So if you wanna have a talk and give me a little introduction of your favorite musicals, hit me up!
