Newsies - Blog Posts
yall know what we need to go newsies on the government's ass. Doesn't matter which one, just do it.
Ok so Just paused Newsies and uhhhhhhhhhhhh
Crutchie looks like Jack just punched him in the no no square
Romeo and Mush look like their trying to fight but failing miserably
Finch looks like he’s trying to explain his rage to Race
Race looks like me when I saw this Turkey on the roof at school
Albert is just like I hate these idiots
Elmer just looks terrified
Alright everyone claim your "I was here before the Newsies Fandom resurgence of 2022 after West Endsies was announced" ticket:
(Disclaimer: I am actually very excited for new people in the fandom, I just had this idea and thought it was funny. We don't gatekeep in this household, doesn't matter if you've been a fan since 1992 or this morning, you're still a fansie and we love you.)
I literally have wanted to play all of these roles.
Hi here are some dream roles of mine that I’m gonna talk about for a bit because I’m bored and on theater brainrot
Riff, West Side Story- all time dream role like I feel it would be so fun to play this character because he can be portrayed with so much depth, detail, and backstory. And who doesn’t want to go snapping around a street and sing about how cool they are even though they’re poor as shit and kinda hate themselves sometimes? Also his death scene is so sad and I like sad scenes! I also really liked Mike Faist as Riff so he inspired me.
Race, newsies- so many cool singing and dancing parts but a pretty big role nonetheless. Idk I just watched livesies and said “I need to be him.” Same with Riff. It’s indescribable I just feel I would have so much fun playing a character like Race. The socialization, the accent, the characterization, THE DANCINGGG! Also who wouldn’t want to play a Ben Cook role???
Sharpay, hsm- she’s hot and was my first ever dream. People always tell me I look like her.
Winifred, Mary Poppins- I auditioned for her in my school’s spring show but my enemy got it🥲 she just seems so fun😭 BUT IT’S OK I’LL MOVE ON……. eventually……….
Elle, Legally blonde- she’s absolutely gorgeous and I love playing deeper characters that still have a bubbly personality. (As you can tell) I also relate to her a lot abd think her story was so empowering. Not to mention legally blonde is one of the most mind changing musicals ever. I’m auditioning for her this spring and I’m TERRIFIED. Like, she’s kinda close to my casting type (deep, energetic, lots of dancing, more nasally singing, soprano 2, belts) but it would be a dream to play her.
Mariah, Hamilton- she’s hot and really cool belt during say no to this.
I am crying now. This is so sad. Try again Spot, it’ll work next time. Race is head over heels for you!
Spot: hey so I was wondering-
Race watching Jojo and Albert doing something stupid
Spot: um if you maybe
Race: STOP
Race: I’m sorry I have to go stop my friends I’ll see you later
Spot standing alone: I wanted to know if you wanted to go out on a date with me
Spot: yeah that was worth practicing for three hours in the mirror
Is Jack the art teacher? Race is probably also the teacher to spend half the class talking about his day.
Race is the type of Italian teacher whom 12 year old girls simp over and give sickening cards to on Valentines day, and when they find out he has a boyfriend they face time their friends and cry at 6 pm
Crutchie is the type of English Lit teacher who tries his best that students actually like because of his non cringey humour and kindness. He brings homemade cookies into class and helps people overcome shyness
Albert is the teacher who forgot what class he teaches, his hair colour, his age and his address
Feeling like I want to take down the sexist, homophobic and old members of the government. The rage of the 1899 news boys is flowing through me, convincing me to fight the old people telling me my opinions are invalid. Who’s with me?!
5 new crushes I’ve gotten cuz of Newsies. Their not really crushes, per-se, just like, damn, they’re fine (who am I kidding, Kara Lindsay as Katharine is *sigh* and Ben Tyler Cook as Race is also *sigh*)
To al of you saying you wana write this…
Go right ahead! Just give me credit please! Also, send me the link when you do! I’d want to read it!
I’m on a Newsies kick right now, so…. I may have watched livesies like 5 times this week, but what ever. I just got an idea. So you know how Spot is called the King of Brooklyn? And Race is the King of New York? AU were two kingdoms hate each other and then their two crown princes fall in love (definitely enemies to lovers) and it’s the story of Race and Spot becoming kings and hiding their love or something like that. Now I just wish I had the skill to write…
Is Spot standing on a box? He must be
"hi."
"...hi."
FACTS!!!!
Mouthpiece is just a less likeable version of Racetrack Higgins and I think its great that Ben Cook is just playing the same character in two different musicals
What are doing under Spot’s bed, Race? Hmm?
Jack: why does Spot hate me so much
David: would you like the reasons numerically or alphabetically?
Race: he’s got a list under his bed. I can get it for you
Just watched 92sies. Definitely prefer livesies, by far. But I will say, livesies completely ruined Spot. Can I ship 92sies Spot and livesies Race? Is that aloud? Cuz Ben Tyler Cook is the best Race. I didn’t like how in 92sies Crutchie and Jack weren’t even really friends, let alone brothers. Also Jack, like, didn’t care about the other newsies at all, he was only acting in his own self interest. And, you know, as a theater kid I’m definitely bias towards stage productions. (If you like 92sies better, that’s completely okay, your opinions are valid. If you hate it with all your being, your opinions are also valid.) I, personally, like livesies music, dancing, story, and everything (-Spot and the Javey iconic-gay-pin-against-wall scene) better.

wss 2021: *opens with a bunch of white boys dancing in the streets of new york*
my brain: i'm getting strong newsies vibes from this
I love that I can be Spot and Crutchie
the newsies as things my friends have said
jack: "I'm just simultaneously too stupid and too smart."
katherine: "do you feel like I called you out? good 'cause I did."
david: "guys I got manipulated by a six year old the other day."
les: "what if, after high school, I just became a clown."
crutchie: "last time I wore my bandana, everyone kept asking if I was in a gang. I just like bandanas, calm down."
race: "you best call me Tom, because I'm about to do some foolery."
spot: "I don't want to be endearing. I want to be feared."
Little brother: Remember Jack?
Me: Jack?
Little brother: Yeah, Jack’s in Santa Fe!
Me, internationally: SoManyEmotionssssss
Me? Have a WandaVision/Peter Maximoff fixation?*stuffs Peter sketches under pillow*
No! Of course not!*throws blanket over Wanda doodles*
Why on earth would you think that?!*slams bad drawings of The Vision under bed*
Here! Have a drawing of Brooklyn Boys!
That one moment when
You get so int the song that you punch the air so hard your earbuds fall out right at the best part of the Watch What Happens Reprise.
Jack: And now we must start the new year off on the right foot!
Jack: Race, that’s your left foot.
Davey: Picking up your cards before the dealer is finished is bad etiquette.
Race: Then consider me un-etiquette-ed. Spot: I eti-quit.
Spot: I hate roller coasters.
Jack: Why?
Spot: I have this thing about falling faster than gravity.
Race: Hey Spot, can ya help me with my homework?
Spot: No.
Race: Please!!!!!
Spot: No, but I can judge you in a helpful way.
Race: Good enough for me!
