I have a story I’m working on I just have no clue how to introduce the villain I know they say to introduce the villain with a bang but how do you know when that bang moment is?
I’m trying to write a story but I have a terrible case of writer’s block, I’m thinking about writing a new one and going back to that one when I have a idea
ok but if you can’t read lyrics fast enough “Write what you know" So they say, all I know is I don't know what to write Or the right way to write it This is big, lady, don't screw it up This is not some little vaudeville I'm reviewing Poor little kids versus rich greedy sour pusses Ha, It's a cinch It could practically write itself And let's pray it does, cause as I may have mentioned I have no clue what I'm doing Am I insane? This is what I've been waiting for Well that, plus the screaming of ten angry editors A girl? It's a girl, how the hell? Is that even legal? Look, just go and get her Not only that, there's a story behind the story: Thousands of children, exploited, invisible Speak up, take a stand, and there's someone to write about it That's how things get better Give life's little guys some ink, and when it dries just watch what happens Those kids will live and breathe right on the page And once they're center stage, you watch what happens And who's there with her camera and her pen As boys turn into men They'll storm the gates and then just watch what happens when they do Picture a handsome, heroically charismatic Plain spoken, know nothing, skirt-chasing, cocky little son of a- Lie down with dogs and you wake up with a raise and a promotion So, he's a flirt A complete ego maniac The fact is he's also the face of the strike What a face Face the facts, that's a face that could save us all from sinking in the ocean Like someone said, "Power tends to corrupt" And absolute power, wait, wait, corrupts? Absolutely, that is genius But give me some time, I'll be twice as good as that six months from never Just look around at the world we're inheriting And think of the one we'll create Their mistake is they got old, that is not a mistake we'll be making No sir, we'll stay young forever Give those kids and me the brand new century and watch what happens It's David and Goliath, do or die The fight is on and I can't watch what happens But all I know is nothing happens if you just give in It can't be any worse than how it's been And it just so happens that we just might win So whatever happens, let's begin
If it helps for people who are auditioning, if the speed is too fast or hard to catch on for you: Play the speed at 2.00, double time. It's really fast. Then listen to it, on normal time. In comparison to 2.00. It's kinda slow. No i dunno about you, but that's how i did it and I got Katherine so....
Holy crap. I'd never thought of doing that, but I read your comment, and was like "Why not?" and checked it out ... wow! It sounds like Gilbert & Sullivan! This song actually totally works as almost a patter-song style haha
The tune just popped into my head today, and all I knew was that it was from Newsies. So I searched until I found this song to satisfy my thirst for good music from a musical.
Damn, this is gonna be hard... I have this an audition piece for my high school in September. I don’t exactly want Katherine but it would be so cool if my friends got it! I wanna be a Newsie so bad 😁
Accurate depiction of writers trying to write anything lol. I can relate to this line painfully well, "Write what you know, so they say, all I know is I don't know what to write or the right way to write it!" Also is it just me or does she kinda remind me of Pearl from Steven Universe? P.S. I also love the line "Speak up, take a stand, and there's someone to write about it, that's how things get better!" So true.
Just auditioned! I prepared for about a month in advance and got great breath control from this. If I don’t get her I’ll still cherish all the time I spent singing with her :)
Thank you so much for this! At my school for the thespian festival Im singing this song! I have to memorise the lyrics by november and this is such a big help!
This song (the version with just the music no lyrics) came on in my drama class and my friend whispered in my ear with a huge smile,“do you know what song this is?” And for a few seconds I had no idea... until 0:14
The fact that I tried to sing this two times but kept stumbling over my words and just not singing it right to only realize the third time I had both of my retainers in. Great job me
ugh everything but the end note man I can hit it I just can’t hold it at that note long enough like 😭😭😭 curse my lower range like??? Let me sing bass but this? Nope
"Write what you know" So they say, all I know is I don't know what to write Or the right way to write it This is big, lady, don't screw it up This is not some little vaudeville I'm reviewing Poor little kids versus rich greedy sour pusses Ha, It's a cinch It could practically write itself And let's pray it does, cause as I may have mentioned I have no clue what I'm doing Am I insane?

JainaSoloB312 ahh! You’re so not! It’s for a school production and auditions aren’t till November! I just saw newsies this summer though and was like “AHHH THIS IS SO PERFECT”
@@America-ot9ex Oh cool! Yeah with the tricky lyrics and rhythm and everything if I heard this song without context and you told me it was Sondheim I'd believe it. Even the alternating notes at the very start of the song sound exactly like the alternating notes at the beginning of Into The Woods! Which role are you auditioning for?
I’m doing newsies next spring and I’m so excited omg! I kind of want to be cruthchie but idk good audition songs for that so can anyone give me some ideas?
We’re doing this play in my middle school and I completely messed up at my audition because I practiced faster than how the teacher played it on the piano so I’m just in the chorus😢
really engage your diaphragm to make sure you’re getting enough breath support and try completely relax your face and open your mouth wide. it should feel natural when you belt it right and also try mixing there’s loads of videos and warmups on youtube to help with that. also change the vowel to make it easier e.g instead of beg(i)n try beg(e)n but obviously still try keep it sounding similar. hope that help!!!
Watch what happens escreva o que sabe eles dizem só sei que eu não sei o que vou escrever e nem como isso é grande então não estrague não é só mais uma crítica qualquer pobres crianças versus ricos gananciosos ah! é facinho! quase pode se escrever sozinho! espero que sim porque como comentei: não sei o que estou fazendo será que to louca? isso é o que sempre quis além de ouvir berros de editores garota? uma garota? como assim? isso é legal? bom, vão atrás dela. e há uma história por trás dessa história várias crianças estão invisíveis grite, levante, há alguém pra documentar assim que as coisas mudam dê pra eles tinta, espere que seque e veja só suas vidas no papel vão respirar e no holofote estar e veja só e quem que vai filmar e escrever, e vai os ver crescer, vão esbravejar e veja só então o que vai ser pense num herói carismático gato, sabe-nada, garanhão e metido, filho de uma- deite com cães e acorde com um aumento de salário ele é galã, um completo egocêntrico e também o cara é a cara da greve e que cara- encare que ele é quem pode evitar uma tragédia como alguém diz o bem tende a vencer sempre o mal, tende a, peraí, eu gostei, genial! mas me espere, serei melhor no dia de são nunca veja o mundo que estamos herdando há um melhor pra criar é que o seu grande erro foi envelhecer, mas nós vamos ser jovens para sempre dê pra todos nós um novo século e veja só é davi e golias, tudo ou nada temos que lutar, não estamos só mas é que nada vai mudar se você desistir não dá pra piorar, tá bem ruim E existe a chance de ganhar no fim Então vamos lá, vamos sim
She is beauty she is Grace but most importantly.. she's not afraid to roast Jack Kelly in the face
Wilbur this you
Yes..
oh hi
What a face
Yay I love this movie is great
"Write what you know, so they say, all I know is I don't know what to write or the right way to write it!"
Every writer ever
I want to like this as many times as writing is/was hard for me
As a writer of... Newsies fan fiction, funny enough, I can confirm this. It’s SO DIFFICULT
gah, writer's block
I have a story I’m working on I just have no clue how to introduce the villain I know they say to introduce the villain with a bang but how do you know when that bang moment is?
Lol same
As a writer with other writer friends, let me just say that this is literally our anthem
Heck has yes it is (I am a fellow writer) and this song is always on repeat when I am writing lol
I’m trying to write a story but I have a terrible case of writer’s block, I’m thinking about writing a new one and going back to that one when I have a idea
Fr
Ps I am also a writer
@@HufflepuffozianSAME
The way she says "is that even legal?" is still one of my favourite part of the entire show.
Lol
Everyone here auditioning and I’m just singing in the shower and practicing breath support my gawd
I did audition with this song and I went into addition and could not sing with the piano. 🙄🤦♀️😂
I'm using this for my Be More Chill audition!
I can relate heh 🤣😂😀🙂😐🥺😣😫😭
m p
It took me forever😭 I swear
ok but if you can’t read lyrics fast enough
“Write what you know"
So they say, all I know is I don't know what to write
Or the right way to write it
This is big, lady, don't screw it up
This is not some little vaudeville I'm reviewing
Poor little kids versus rich greedy sour pusses
Ha, It's a cinch
It could practically write itself
And let's pray it does, cause as I may have mentioned
I have no clue what I'm doing
Am I insane? This is what I've been waiting for
Well that, plus the screaming of ten angry editors
A girl? It's a girl, how the hell? Is that even legal?
Look, just go and get her
Not only that, there's a story behind the story:
Thousands of children, exploited, invisible
Speak up, take a stand, and there's someone to write about it
That's how things get better
Give life's little guys some ink, and when it dries just watch what happens
Those kids will live and breathe right on the page
And once they're center stage, you watch what happens
And who's there with her camera and her pen
As boys turn into men
They'll storm the gates and then just watch what happens when they do
Picture a handsome, heroically charismatic
Plain spoken, know nothing, skirt-chasing, cocky little son of a-
Lie down with dogs and you wake up with a raise and a promotion
So, he's a flirt
A complete ego maniac
The fact is he's also the face of the strike
What a face
Face the facts, that's a face that could save us all from sinking in the ocean
Like someone said, "Power tends to corrupt"
And absolute power, wait, wait, corrupts?
Absolutely, that is genius
But give me some time, I'll be twice as good as that six months from never
Just look around at the world we're inheriting
And think of the one we'll create
Their mistake is they got old, that is not a mistake we'll be making
No sir, we'll stay young forever
Give those kids and me the brand new century and watch what happens
It's David and Goliath, do or die
The fight is on and I can't watch what happens
But all I know is nothing happens if you just give in
It can't be any worse than how it's been
And it just so happens that we just might win
So whatever happens, let's begin
Natalie DeSanto thank you!!!
@@annekavandervelde8198 this is totally random but we are subscribed to a lot of the same ppl lol
If it helps for people who are auditioning, if the speed is too fast or hard to catch on for you:
Play the speed at 2.00, double time.
It's really fast.
Then listen to it, on normal time. In comparison to 2.00. It's kinda slow.
No i dunno about you, but that's how i did it and I got Katherine so....
Anissa Hotomani that really helped lol
Florrie Patel thank you!
Omg I’m doing this for fun idk y but I just lost 3 brain cells
me being able to talk at jojo siwa speeds: 👁👄👁
Thank you!!! This really really helps!
And 1.25 speed here we go
Holy crap. I'd never thought of doing that, but I read your comment, and was like "Why not?" and checked it out ... wow! It sounds like Gilbert & Sullivan! This song actually totally works as almost a patter-song style haha
Also ... okay, I can hear a punk cover of this being a possible thing
I was in the middle of doing 1.5 (very well if I do say so myself) when my phone FROZE!
Everyone commenting about auditioning for Katherine.....I’m here because of corona
*literaly every comment is about everyone else auditioning for Kathrine*
*same*
Late reply but it’s because the rights for newsies came out last year lol
LMAOOO i did it and got the role
“What front so you want the lyrics?”
“Yes”
-large inhale- wRIte WHat YOu Know
My bad 4 years later but so real!!
The tune just popped into my head today, and all I knew was that it was from Newsies. So I searched until I found this song to satisfy my thirst for good music from a musical.
Damn, this is gonna be hard... I have this an audition piece for my high school in September. I don’t exactly want Katherine but it would be so cool if my friends got it! I wanna be a Newsie so bad 😁
Good luck getting the role and Break a leg!
Sarah Stellar Diamond you know the funny thing? I got ensemble! I’m still a newsie though!! I’m really excited!!!
Accurate depiction of writers trying to write anything lol. I can relate to this line painfully well, "Write what you know, so they say, all I know is I don't know what to write or the right way to write it!" Also is it just me or does she kinda remind me of Pearl from Steven Universe?
P.S. I also love the line "Speak up, take a stand, and there's someone to write about it, that's how things get better!" So true.
Fr
Just auditioned! I prepared for about a month in advance and got great breath control from this. If I don’t get her I’ll still cherish all the time I spent singing with her :)
Thx for this. My high school is doing the newsies for the musical next year and I'm hoping to get Kathrine. Fingers crossed. 🤞
Good luck!
@Aaliyah Sweetfire Me too, we're doing it next year and I want to be her too. Want to prep early! Good luck!!!
Brynn McCarthy cool!! Hoping u and I get the part🤞
Me too!
Aaliyah Sweetfire even this waz w years ago did u get it?
I’m using this as my audition song for my show this summer
SAME! EXEPT I HAVE OVER FIVE SHOWS IN THE SUMMER PLUS 2 DURING SCHOOL
Thank you so much for this! At my school for the thespian festival Im singing this song! I have to memorise the lyrics by november and this is such a big help!
My junior high is doing Newsies and I'm in it. No a major part but still! So much fun!
im being race even though im girl
This song is great for breath support and control.
I have an audition for Newsies next month and hopefully I get Kathrine!
how'd it go?
Sooo....? Did you get it?
She was never seen again.
I am auditioning for newsies and I am very grateful this is here.
This song (the version with just the music no lyrics) came on in my drama class and my friend whispered in my ear with a huge smile,“do you know what song this is?” And for a few seconds I had no idea... until 0:14
i definitely didnt choke while trying to sing quickly
*nooooo*
"it can't be any worse than it's already been"
boy was she wrong
FR
This is my favourite song from the newsies❤❤❤❤❤❤
This song is my current mood
Our school is doing Newsies, and auditions are the 17th. Im trying out for Kathrine so I'm excited!!!!
Jenia Gump Good Luck!🍀
Good luck!
How’d it go?
i am maybe gonna have to do this entire song for my middle school dinner theater. Im 13 and Im good at SLOW songs. XD
Simply stretchy Put it on 2x Speed after listening to it like that then normal speed feel slow
The fact that I tried to sing this two times but kept stumbling over my words and just not singing it right to only realize the third time I had both of my retainers in. Great job me
And I thought rather be me from mean girls was fast. I finally got this song down but geez breath control is KEY
this is where being a long-time saxophonist comes in handy hahaha got them lungs
Jack Feldman is up there with Lin-Manuel Miranda (maybe probably even above) in terms of lyric writing, because this is absolute fire.
this is my go to audition song (unless we need to sing a specific song)
my production of Newsies is in a month and I am pumped to be on stage!
My best friend: *complains it’s to fast*
Me: *someone who talks 10,000 miles a minute* it’s not that bad-
😭😭
THANKS BIG HELP! my school is doing it, lots of peeps joining. hoping i get a lead role. :P
Good luck getting the role you want and Break a leg!
Sarah Stellar Diamond she wants to be katherine, not crutchie---
**im joking skdjdsnxn
@@corkfork8780 That was really funny
Sarah Stellar Diamond thank you !! (:
This is literally of my theme songs when I’m writing my books
Fr
Frr
I went to the newsies in fifth grade and been obssesed w this song
ever since😭
In highschool I was in newsies and i played this role and it took me three weeks to memorize this song
Thank you sooo much I’m taking this in my singing exam 💞💞💞💞💞😂😂😂🌹🌹
Thank you for this. Now I'm going to try and sing this song whilst doing sit ups
Honestly this is one of the most taxing broadway songs ever
I'm listening to it on 2x it's so fun to sing this way
I honestly want jack or Davey for my newsies and everyone here wants to be Katherine -_-
ugh everything but the end note man I can hit it I just can’t hold it at that note long enough like 😭😭😭 curse my lower range like??? Let me sing bass but this? Nope
Oh no! It's so annoying! I can hit it but I sound operatic :'(
My school's doing Newsies show and I got Katherine!!!! Can't wait to sing this song!!!!
Me writing an essay on how historically accurate the musical Newsies is:
listening to this while trying to write my application for my honors English class next year and I Have Never Related To Anything More
I’m doing a summer camp and and she is my dream role! I hope I get her!

Doing this for a showcase later this month. I’m literally so nervous, with this song I can barely breathe 😭
I’m using this for my into the woods audition!!
I'm way late but that's an excellent choice, this song feels soooo Sondheim!
JainaSoloB312 ahh! You’re so not! It’s for a school production and auditions aren’t till November! I just saw newsies this summer though and was like “AHHH THIS IS SO PERFECT”
@@America-ot9ex Oh cool!
Yeah with the tricky lyrics and rhythm and everything if I heard this song without context and you told me it was Sondheim I'd believe it.
Even the alternating notes at the very start of the song sound exactly like the alternating notes at the beginning of Into The Woods!
Which role are you auditioning for?
JainaSoloB312 sorry this is late! I was horrified id jinx it by saying it. I was auditioning for little red riding hood! And I got it!!!
@@America-ot9ex CONGRATS
This is Greta Thunberg’s song
1:24 is every time I watch newsies
Im singing this for an audition to try and Katherine in my school's musical :D
True. She sounds like Olivia Parker from Adventures in Odyssey.
I am doing this as a solo and I can’t breath during this!!
Same
im doing newsies @ school... this song is so fast!
if i use this for an audition song for seussical do you think it’d be good? please reply!!
vanilla suqar i think you’d do great!
How did you do!???
Esta canción del musical Newsies es MUY difícil de interpretar
Esta canción del musical de Newsies es VERDADERAMENTE difícil de interpretar
My little girl will sing this
This looks so much fun, too bad quarantine happened and I might never get to be in a musical again :/
Whoever reading this God likes u!!
I love newsies
This is my dream role in newsies. I’m probably not going to get it though because I have short brown hair and I’m over weight
Tatyana Poland I think in plays your appearance doesn’t matter as long as you have a great voice if you do the go and audition
me and my school this musical this year, kinda nervous.
one of the ones auditioning for katherine 🤗🤗🤗
I also have auditions for Newsies tomorrow but I'm not trying out for Katherine. Idk who I want really. They r mostly boys
How'd you do?
was listening to this while on a zoom with Kara Lindsey and realized while on with her that this was her lol
i’m thinking about using this song to audition for Logainne Schwartzy in 25th Annual, any time stamp recommendations? I need a 30 second cut
i auditioned with this song and i got Katherine :D
I’m doing newsies next spring and I’m so excited omg! I kind of want to be cruthchie but idk good audition songs for that so can anyone give me some ideas?
emma m is your production doing the song letter from the refuge that’s a good solo from crutchie
newsies auditions in 48 hours... please pray 4 this hopeful future katherine :)
Molly Bryant how’d it go ?? please pray for me, mines in 24 hours 😭😭
Did you get it?!?!
Lazy Unicorns686 yea i got a role lol, you got this
Everyone using this for auditions when im using it to try to hype myself up for homework ;-;
Me but with highschool:
I was bored so I tried it out and I can confirm that I can sing this song at 1.75 speed 😂
My voice lessons teachers telling me to sing this
This is so fast my gawd
We’re doing this play in my middle school and I completely messed up at my audition because I practiced faster than how the teacher played it on the piano so I’m just in the chorus😢
Everyone auditioning for newsies me over here auditioning for bye bye birdie 😑
I sang this for a karaoke assignment two years ago in choir. I CAN STILL FUCKING DO IT
I’m here cause of corona but how do you get so many boys to audition. In my school there are not a lot of boys in theater
This is the song I’m singing for my singing performance
Jesus loves you and he died for your sins!
I'm singing this for a competition and I'm super nervous
How’d it go
1:50 bookmark
Lmao I auditioned for Katherine but got Finch
Lord Acton said power corrupts and absolute power currupts absolutely
What range is this song?
High af😭😭😭
i'm highly tempted to lead a STRIKE to have a full musical for once in our school
0:49 to 1:25
2:12 *Personal stamp :)
Any advice on how to belt those high notes at the end 😭
really engage your diaphragm to make sure you’re getting enough breath support and try completely relax your face and open your mouth wide. it should feel natural when you belt it right and also try mixing there’s loads of videos and warmups on youtube to help with that. also change the vowel to make it easier e.g instead of beg(i)n try beg(e)n but obviously still try keep it sounding similar. hope that help!!!
0:02
Whoops a personal time stamp for my own uses. 2:02
2:33
I sang this at 1.5 speed and I think my larynx AND my lungs are bleeding.
Regular for me but SAME😂
she reminds me anna from frozen
Watch what happens
escreva o que sabe
eles dizem
só sei que
eu não sei o que vou escrever
e nem como
isso é grande
então não estrague
não é só mais uma crítica qualquer
pobres crianças
versus ricos gananciosos
ah! é facinho! quase pode se escrever sozinho!
espero que sim
porque como comentei: não sei o que estou fazendo
será que to louca?
isso é o que sempre quis
além de ouvir berros de editores
garota?
uma garota?
como assim?
isso é legal?
bom, vão atrás dela.
e há uma história por trás dessa história
várias crianças estão invisíveis
grite, levante, há alguém pra documentar
assim que as coisas mudam
dê pra eles tinta, espere que seque e veja só
suas vidas no papel vão respirar e no holofote estar e veja só
e quem que vai filmar e escrever, e vai os ver crescer, vão esbravejar e veja só então o que vai ser
pense num herói carismático gato,
sabe-nada, garanhão e metido, filho de uma-
deite com cães e acorde com um aumento de salário
ele é galã,
um completo egocêntrico
e também o cara é a cara da greve
e que cara-
encare que ele é quem pode evitar uma tragédia
como alguém diz o bem tende a vencer
sempre o mal,
tende a,
peraí,
eu gostei,
genial!
mas me espere, serei melhor no dia de são nunca
veja o mundo que estamos herdando
há um melhor pra criar
é que o seu grande erro foi envelhecer,
mas nós vamos ser
jovens para sempre
dê pra todos nós um novo século e veja só
é davi e golias, tudo ou nada
temos que lutar, não estamos só
mas é que nada vai mudar se você desistir
não dá pra piorar, tá bem ruim
E existe a chance de ganhar no fim
Então vamos lá, vamos sim
