REALLY. IT IS.
newsies is helping me pass ap history. i knew random pop quiz facts on multiple tests. for example, pulitzer's newspaper was the world, not the journal. and scabbers were replacements that worked during strikes. and lots of other random facts. i owe you one, jack kelly.
we went in october to see newsies in the paper mill and it was fantastic. so, so wonderful. can you just do me a favor and watch all these youtube videos? and then watch them again. then you too will love newsies. i just love it so much. creepy, i know. but really. i do.
the end of "santa fe" when jeremy jordan sings it gives me goosebumps.
it is unbelievable. unbelievable.
all the actors were triple threats. the dancing, the singing, the acting. and we were so close. close enough to see davey's spit while he was singing "seize the day". i'm okay with that. although i might've had the smallest twinge of jealousy when the newspapers thrown out into the audience landed too far away to snag one. also, i was heartbroken when there was no original cast recording. that was a mistake, papermill! sad, sad, sad.
i might use my paperboy bag all the time. no shame.
newsies, i love you. and i'm so excited for your new run in the big city!!

ps, i have the tiniest confession that i do in fact love the stage version a little more than the movie. because i love the stage. and the music was adapted to feature the voices even more. ex: santa fe. oh my gosh. so amazing.
