“They delivered the papers, until they made the headlines…’
Newsies is one of the hottest musicals on Broadway at the moment. Newsies the musical made its Broadway debut in 2012 at the Nederlander theatre, and is soon to find a home on the West End (which I can't wait for!)
Newsies the musical is based on the 1992 film, Newsies,
which is about the real-life Newsboys strike in 1899.
The soundtrack for Newsies has to be one of my favourite at
the moment! The inspiring story matches so well with the powerful music and
lyrics. Songs like ‘The World Will Know’ have left me walking home from school
as if I were part of the strike! Only having to snap back out of it and coming
back to reality.
Then there are the beautiful love songs of Jack Kelly and
Katherine Plumber. ‘Something to Believe In’ is my favourite song on the whole soundtrack.
Kara Lindsay, (Katherine) who has the voice of an angel, never fails to give me
goose bumps! And then there is Jeremy Jordan (Jack-who is now played by Corey
Cott) who has such a beautiful voice!
And that is just talking about the music!!! The dancing in
this musical has to be one of the best on Broadway! These talented young men
inspire me so much, as a dancer myself! With people like Ryan Steele (Specs),
of course you are going to have fantastic dance numbers! There is also the main
tap number at the beginning of act 2, King of New York, which I find fascinating.
Tap has to be one of favourite genres of dance, so when I see it done on such a
huge scale with so many talented dancers, it leaves me speechless! And this is
just from the different youtube videos I have seen, I cant imagine what it must
be like to see it live.

End. I know I will be seeing it as soon as it comes over here! Please comment
