hey so how the hell did the muny create the most evil jack kelly edit of all time
"i cant spend my whole life dreamin" and its him painting santa fe about to leave. and medda trying to convince him he doesnt have to. okay
followed by kath clips .. all he does is dream about things he cant have or doesnt feel worthy of. right
ok "i need space" with the clip of les shoving everyone away to give him space is killing me but also jesus look at Jack's freaking face. he is So Stressed and mad and everyone is looking to him oh my god
"-and fresh air" and its him and crutchie in his penthouse in the sky :') what an evil callback
"let em laugh in my face i dont care" and its everyone yelling at him at the rally :((( oaugh god dude he was just trying to protect them look at his face im dying actually
shaking his hands as pulitzer steps up to him.. shaking out nerves i bet and trying to look tough god hes just a kid
"ill be there" AND ITS CRUTCHIE FALLING AND HIM BEING THERE TO CATCH HIM. HIS PLACE. IS RIGHT HERE. his home his dream his santa fe is right hereee bro oh my god
and then hard cut to him telling davey 'what if crutchie dont make it'. because he Failed him he failed he failed he failed his home is gone and its his fault so hes gotta Go
cut to him literally about to cry before the end of santa fe. okay. and then remembering him painting the landscape with those little hopeful piano notes. we are literally in jacks head rn im sick
i cannot get over how he delivers "just be real-" like he is Begging he is so scared he can barely get the words out he really truly has nothing else but this dream that he knows isnt actually there but god he cant lose that too
him begging him and kath to be real too, but he knows hes probably kidding himself. hes been wrong every step of the way so far so why is that any different
"cause im Dead-" hes so serious. hes lost everything he needs this to be real. that delivery is so perfect ily jack
"if i cant count on you today" and its kath
"ive got nothin if i aint got-" and its all of the newsies. everyone rallying around him, everyone following him, everyone trusting him. he has Always had what he needs right here
whoever made this understood the assignment completely holy shit. santa fe isnt and has never been something real that jack can get to because what he is longing for, what he is reaching for and putting onto santa fe has just always been around him, waiting to be found. crutchie, race, his brothers. the newsies. medda. now davey and les and katherine. im kissing this edit on the mouth
