Davey: How did none of you hear what I just said?
Jack: I’ve been zoned out for the past two and a half hours.
Crutchi: I got distracted about halfway through.
Race: Ignoring you was a conscious decision.
Exploring background manhattan newsie looks!! I want to give them all a cohesive colour scheme and all slightly different outfits, also more variety in ages, lengths and nationalities. Also they're just so fun to draw
some proposals for places i would put an f-bomb in newsies if i could only have one:
"What, you mean like a strike?"/"Well, you heard Davey, we're on strike!"/"Fuck"
"I'll learn to make do with the mansion, the oil well, the diamonds, the yacht... with Andy, Eduardo the pontiff and Scott... and Frank... oh, and my fucking bank."
"Oh, c'mon, Katherine! Those boys are counting on you!... Oh, you poor fucking boys."
"And we found our voice!"/"And I lost my fucking shoe!"
"Write it in ink or in blood it's the same either way/They're gonna fucking pay"
literally any of jack's lines in watch what happens (reprise)
"...or cross the Brooklyn Bridge... hell, you can't even get out of your own fucking office."
"He's a fucking sellout!"
"I trust you know my daughter, Katherine."/"What the fuck?"
"My father has eyes on every corner of this fucking city! He doesn't need me spying for him."
"If you weren't going to Santa Fe..."/"Yeah, and if you weren't a fucking heiress."
Give me Stressed-Out Stage Manager Albert and Best Friend-Character Racetrack, who won't stop talking backstage and driving Albert mad.
Give me Set Designer Jack and Love Interest David, who always practices his ballad in the theatre while Jack works on a background, though Jack's really only focusing on him.
Give me Costume Designer Buttons and Chorus Member Elmer, who's constantly accidentally tearing his costume while doing tricks and having to go into Buttons to get it fixed.
Give me Techie Specs and Crutchie, who only signed up to watch their friends perform every night for free, but end up actually enjoying each other's company each show.
Give me Bully Character Spot, who has to slap the lead, Katherine, but has started to apologise afterwards every time they do the scene because they feel bad afterwards.
