Ah, Newsies. Nothing cheers ya up quite like a two hour musical extravaganza about homeless children battling capitalism.

i love how “one song glory,” the song about roger’s struggle to write one incredible, amazing song before he dies, is one of the best songs in RENT… and then, “your eyes,” the song roger actually writes at the end is, hands down, the worst one

no offense but broadway and other forms of high theater should be more accessible and should at the very least be taped and released for easy home viewing when they close

[klapollo]

people are going to pirate broadway shows regardless bc most people cant AFFORD to drop hundreds of dollars on tickets, and a working-class family in flyover country is probably not gonna have the chance to see a musical in broadway or chicago or california etc. very often! 

but their parents could probably buy them a DVD for their birthday! so why should children (especially young actors) be deprived of art bc of their class or location? wouldnt allowing people who literally cannot access theater to buy or rent high-quality, official recordings benefit the arts better than forcing them to pirate it?

and so many of these shows close and are all but lost to the majority of the population! thats fucked up. just record them!!!! fuck!!!!!

there’s a section of the new york public library that has access to theaterical recordings…..but it’s only accessible to students and theater professionals who need it to study. cmon!! people should be allowed to view this stuff. 

for a lot of people, getting to watch legally blonde the musical on mtv or listening to a recording – accessible, affordable forms of theater – made them dedicated lovers of the arts. they inspire actors and singers and animatics and composers. why deprive these people????

and people might say “well no one will buy tickets!!” which is absurd. i watch hockey games on television all the time and i still buy tickets to see it in-person because live is a whole different experience! and like…..you dont know theater people. they’ll gladly see the same show 50 times. lots of people see shows BECAUSE they already access it through stuff like bootlegs or albums already so whats the point! its not like they wouldnt make bank off of theater nerds buying recordings anyway!

anyway, high-end musicals should be recorded and released on dvd and streaming services and played on public television thank u

[rinasaurusrex]

also recorded shows can have subtitles, descriptive audio, and translations for accessibility

I would just like to state for the record that I would literally die for all the newsies boys, both the fictional characters and the actors that play them.
