RIP Noel Gruber, you would’ve have loved Lady Gaga.

I really ship spot and race but someone explain. It’s not something i saw in the musical but i shipped it because of the fandom and fanart, and fanfic. i think its adorable but what its origins? King of new york and king of brooklyn?

I’ve listened to all the hamilton songs and learnt them off by heart but I still haven’t seen it!! 😤😤

Me to my dad once: ‘I’ve put up with a lot in my life, you know.’ Him: ‘I know. You bitch about it enough. You and your constant suffering.’ Me: ‘Oh, because everyone wants me to be a silent martyr! If you hadn’t have been an alcoholic my life might have been normal. You ever think about that shit?’

Everybody’s life is a mediocre off-Broadway play.

Local Newsies Production - Review

ACT 1

Santa Fe prologue was so good, and soooooo much less awkward than the live version. it was super cute

Crutchie ‘shot’ jack with his crutch at “earthquake or war”

Davey more shy

really comes out during seize the day v. twwk

“Even though we ain’t got hats or badges” - Davey touches his hat and looks very confused @ Jack

Katherine was freaking adorable

Sang watch what happens way more frustrated than kara, as a writer i found it #relatable

“What a face” - said with disgust. I approve. Boys are gross.

harmonies were so good

THE SET WAS HUGE AND MOVED JUST LIKE THE BROADWAY ONE AND OMG I LOVED IT

if rather tell u want I'm hoping for tonight - katherine straight up laughs in his face

One guy played Weasel, Jacobi and Roosevelt. He was great. Every character had a different walk, a different talk, He was great. 130/10

Albert’s mic kept going out but he projected you go sweetie

LES WAS ADORABLE HE IS THE KING OF COMEDY

STARED AT THE BOWERY BEAUTY FOR SO LONG

I ALMOST CRIED OF LAUGHTER

LITERALLY SHOO’ED DAVEY AWAY WHEN MEDDA TOLD HIM TO MOVE

THAT KID WAS MY FAVOURITE

They changed almost all the ‘hells’ to heck, but jack says damn a lot lol

CHOREO IS SO GOOD

SANTA FE WAS BEAUTIFUL

jack was restrained as crutchie getting arrested - like this much better

medda cOULD BELT HOLY SHIT

KathERINE CAN BELT TOO OMG

race is hilarious

v carefree

responsible tho

K: “Let’s get drunk!” -K

R: “Yeah!” *looks at Les* ‘wait no’

K: “NOT WITH LIQUOR”

R: ‘oh ok good’

Henry is great

gives crutchie a piggy back ride after wwk

Crutchie just freaking bolted onto his back and off they scampered

Davey and crutchie shake hands and introduce themselves while jack and LEs were talking. A+

dutchie is strong

def more 92sies than bway

jack looks like akb sometimes

Davey is v nervous

one kids name was evan hannon

Delanceys played by actual brothers

“That’s pitiful” was said very loudly, like Race wanted it to be a joke. Crutchie was very hurt, and everyone was like “wtf dude” @ Race so he apologized and hugged Crutchie it was v pure

lotsa hugs

WHEN THEY THREW THE PAPES THEY LOOKED STRAIGHT AT US

PROBS CAUSE WE WERE CHEERING AND WEARING NEWSIES CAPS

AND THEY DID IT AGAIN TO CLEAR THE STAGE AND MADE EYE CONTACT

SANTA FE OMG

pronounces every letter like a proper theatre kid omg

cRUTCHIE IS READY TO THROW DOWN

fights the scabs

fights Delanceys

fights eVERYONE

p sure he fights jack at some point tbh

One kid that looks like chaz Wolcott

one little girl, she's so good omg. dances her little heart out. you go girl. she's so great. I love her.

specs looks like Ryan Steele

Specs: ‘and I lost my shoe!’

Race: ‘wtf dude’

LIVE MUSIC

V GOOD LIVE MUSIC

SOUNDS LIKE THE RECORDING TBH

((RACHEL THE TRUMPET SOLOIST WAS FREAKING FANTASTIC))

also everyone is v cute. seems nice. 11/10, would befriend.

cheer a lot

they love it

can see the grins

For the World Will Know they opened some doors and Davey had to dug to get in them

ACT 2

DAVEY CHANGED AND LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE ANOTHER NEWSIE HE’S NOT EVEN COLOUR-CODED I LIKE IT VERY MUCH OK

Kath’s costume was weird?? Ngl it made her neck look funny, and made her look like a dwarf but she was still cute and lovely

Medda’s feather fell, and when she went backstage to fix it her mic was on and she talked really loudly and everyone on stage froze for like .01 of a second and then jack just kept going and i applaud their professionalism

Kath straight up grabbed Jack’s shirt and jerked him down for the kiss

NO STAGE KISS, IT WAS FULL ON LIP-TO-LIP CONTACT, I WAS V SURPRISED

while they were kissing some kid in the back went ‘w o w’ and my sisters lost it

As they were rolling the set for Letter on, my sister whispers “oh no.”

There were lots of kids in the refuge? I loved it

This crutchie, omg. He’s definitely my favourite. So he’s singing Letter From the Refuge, and he’s very bitter and upset and sarcastic and i Love it and then the kid shushes him and he just sits in silence for several seconds and when he starts singing again he’s crying and omg he’s my favourite crutchie ever move over AKB

Also he and Race had very fluffy brown hair aaaaaaand I want it

In the office scene, davEY WAS STRAIGHT UP LEANING BACK AND ROCKING IN PULITZER’S OFFICE CHAIR HE WAS SO HAUGHTY I LOVE IT

This kid was a bass and low tenor and WWH rep. Is v high (obvs) so they had to do a weird key but PROPS TO THIS KID HE PULLED IT OFF GREAT

Henry is my favourite. Sorry, everyone else can go home. He’s great.

Had Jack physically restrained by Snyder in Pulitzer’s office. Again, I like it.

WHEN THE BROOKLYN KIDS CAME ON THEY STRAIGHT UP VAULTED OFF THE SET IS WAS GREAT

OK SPOT CONLON CAME ON, HE WAS TALL AND BUFF AND I LOOKED AT MY SISTER AND MOUTHED ‘hot damn’ AND SHE LAUGHED

Lots of hugging between Race and Crutchie

More Race and Finch action than Race and Albert. Albert didn’t really do much, Finch and Henry were the most notable ‘ensemble’ parts

I GOT A NEWSPAPER

They got a standing ovation!

While Les was talking about having a girl Davey was so shocked and confused and big brother mode was kicking on and it was hilarious

That whole scene was my favourite tbh. Davey was so dry. ‘What’s a fellow got to do to get away from you people?’ *in the driest tone, and very fast* theresnoescapinguspalwereinevitable

“Jack?” “Yeah?” *grabs upper arm* “It’s good to have you back.”

*pause where they tenderly hold each other’s forearms*

“Shut up.”

“Okay.”

Something to Believe In, Jack’s voice was kinda scratchy but he still did good and i loved it

That whole song was great

In the office scene, Pulitzer’s assistant  r u n s  in, shouts, “MR PULITZER THE MAYOR IS HERE AND YOUR DAUGHTER AND YOU WONT BELIEVE WHO ELSE,” and skids to a stop about center stage.

That guy was freaking hilarious tbh

WHEN CRUTCHIE CAME OUT HE WAS LIKE ‘DID YA MISS ME’ AND THEY WERE LIKE ‘NAH’ AND THEN DOG-PILED HIM

Crutchie saw Jack and very softly called “jack!” and they ran to each other and hugged for a few seconds it was v soft and everyone ‘aww’ed

“What’s Santa Fe got that New York ain’t? Tarantulas? Sandstorms?” *pffts and walks off*

THE CURTAIN CALL OMG

THEY SANG SO MANY REPRISES

THEY JUST KEPT COMING BACK

THEY GOT A STANDING OVATION, THEY WERE SMILING SO BIG

WE STOOD AND CLAPPED FOR TEN MINUTES

AND THEY READ OFF NAMES AND WE WERE STILL STANDING AND APPLAUDING

AND THEN THEY SANG AGAIN

CRUTCHIE AND RACE HAD THEIR ARMS AROUND EACH OTHER AND WERE USING THEIR CIGAR AND CRUTCH AS A MICROPHONE

THEY KEPT WAVING AS THE CURTAIN DROPPED

THEY KNELT ON THE GROUND AND WAVED

AND THEIR HANDS WERE STICKING OUT AT THE BOTTOM

THEY WERE SO PURE AAAAA

BASICALLY, 32974Y24732786/10, WOULD DEFINITELY SEE AGAIN
