My high school did a production of this right before quarantine! I was Pulitzer's secretary Hannah, and it was so much fun!
That sounds like fun!
I was thinking about your comment of Jack being selfish... but he only agrees to do it after he has been told that his friends will be the ones that end up losing their families and going to the refuge.. at least that is how I understand it... Pulitzer even says it, pointing out that he may be a tough guy but his friends David and his brother are not...
The story of the newsies, both theatrically and historically is really inspiring.
It's based off the 1899 news boy strike led by Kid Blink and David Simmons. It was no the first or last strike of the newsies but it had the most impact. A bunch of kids aged 6 to 18 managed shut down the Brooklyn bridge by forming human chains as well as running a number of rallies.
Jack Kelly was not a historically recorded figure in relation to the strike but many of Jacks struggles are the same ones Kid blink faced. Both Kid Blink and David Simmons were believed to have betrayed the strike in exchange for money, however, this can't be a hundred percent proven as there is a possibility that it was a rumour, set to break apart the strike action.
It was fairly dangerous for the children to be striking. Kid Blink reportedly had a gun shoved into his mouth as a threat to stop the strike. The children were also very poor, living in lodging houses or the street, as a lot of them were orphans, often forced to eat their own papers just to feel something in their stomachs.
Not only that but there was a lot of brutality both from the police and between some adult newsies hired to keep selling. It was only later under the direction of David Simmons that the newsies strikes became less violent and thus gained the sympathy of the general public. Kid Blink famously saying that "Dis is de time when we’se got to stick together like glue."
If you aren't bored of this history essay already I'll just say that Crutchie is based off a real person "Crutch Morris" who took part in the historical strike. There a lot of other odd names too like, Racetrack Higgins the leader of the Brooklyn newsies and debatable the same person as "Spot Conlon" who is also mentioned in the musical. Kid Blink was also known as Blind Diamond, Red Blink and Muggsy McGee on account of his eye patch and his red hair.
Anyway I'll get back to my homework and here's a couple of commas because I just know I missed some.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Davey is played by Ben Fankhauser!! He’s amazing, his nickname with fans/the cast is Benoncé because his riffing skills are superb!
So I’m a complete nerd about Newsies, so here’s some of the stuff you wanted to know. Christopher Gatelli is the choreographer, and as a dancer myself, I look up to him so much! They definitely earned the best choreography Tony! It is slightly based off the newsboys strike of 1899, with a Disney twist because in real life, the newsies did not win against Pulitzer, like at all. This movie is not a revival, but like an all star cast. The director chose certain people from the tour and others from original broadway, so the cast is amazing!
They did actually come to the agreement thats in the end of the play. I have read about it. They agreed to not do anything with the price but that the sellers of the papers bought them back for the full price
YESYESYESYESYESYES I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW INSANELY OBSESSED WITH NEWSIES I AM
I’ve already seen the full length reaction but I love this shortened down one, so cool 😃
Thank you much :)
This made me want to watch Newsies again, one of my favorite shows of all time
How did you know I watched newsies last night?.
I had a feeling 😂
oh hell yes my favorite musical
A fellow starkid fan. Hello :)
My community theater just finished casting Newsies that we’re going to perform and i’m going to be Henry, one of the side Newsies along with Romeo, Finch, etc. (Henry’s the one with the towel slung over his shoulder at the beginning) It’s such an amazing, fun show. It’s probably my favorite show right now (totally no bias).
I saw this show live. My mom loves the choreography and this is one of my favorite shows
The choreo is absolutely incredible. Plus Jeremy Jordan 😂
@@behindthecurvereacts Yeah. I saw this with my theater. we got ticks from them and It was second show that I've seen. I love Jeremy Jordan. He's in Supergirl I think. thank you for wacthing this. What's your favorite song? Mine is Santa Fe. the ending of act one
I did love Santa Fe, but I really enjoy big numbers. So I might have to go with Seize the Day
@@behindthecurvereacts Yeah. I like that one two. This is a rare muscal for me where I love all of the songs so It's hard for me to pick. Also Jeremy is not the only one from the OC cast to be in this show. I dont remember the names of the others though.
I think Crutchie, and Dave and his brother are the same (at least the same as the Tony Performance)
oh i'm absolutely so glad you reacted to it!!! :))))
That choreo, absolutely incredible!
i cant believe you didnt include michael dameski's iconic spin in seize the day!! /lh || no but ive always loved the choreography in this show, it highlights even the smallest of roles. honestly, my favorite part of the musical has always been that every newsie has a personality and a character, even if you only see it in slight interactions onstage
I went to the movie theaters when this was there 5 times...5...and I still love it!!!
I just recently did Newsies Jr. (I played Jack) but it was kind of insane how much was cut from the Jr version. They removed the second half of Santa Fe, multiple comedic lines and both of Pulentiziers songs. I guess they had to get it down to an hour long, but it was pretty disappointing thinking about what we could've done.
I am currently in newsies playing albert and our opening night was this friday! Its my first musical and so much fun to be in. The music and dancing is so quick and just so fun to be in
Newsies has always been one of my favorite musicals
Crutchie was actually a real newsie and one of the leaders of the real strike.
Would you ever consider releasing on RUclips a shortened version of your reactions to the other shows you mentioned? I’m only asking because a lot of other reaction channels do this, but don’t feel pressured.
For any pro-shot or movie musicals I will be trying to do this format as well. Unfortunately the performances that aren't professionally shot will get the channel deleted, like behind the curve 1 :(
@@behindthecurvereacts Thank you for letting me know :)
As a longtime lover of the Newsies film.... perhaps.... ?
I like the background, you look like Siskel and Ebert!
Thank you so much :)
If you haven’t could you react to great comet on the today show
Or Denée Benton preforming no one else because she’s so underrated
Newsies has insane choreography, but The Prom (Broadway) has the best choreography I've ever seen.
Have you seen the original movie?
Also, here's a video that covers the history: ruclips.net/video/S_gdSNvMkKk/видео.html
so I'm thinkin the Prom movie now huh?? ;)
Mayyyyybe lol
@@behindthecurvereacts first heathers or Hedwig and the angry inch (by Darren criss ofc)
I disagree that Jack was being selfish; he's doing what he thinks is best for his friends, so they don't suffer.
I LOVE this production. Christopher Gatelli is a friend and I told him how much I loved his work and how the current London production pales in comparison to his work. Great cast. |The guys in this are amazing dancers who create magic !
