“erm actually sarah jacobs’ role in newsies was only to stop javid from being cano-“ RRAHH SHUT UP there’s styrofoam and metal in your microwave as we speak

'jack has family in santa fe' 'jack was born in santa fe' 'jack has some kind of tragic relation to santa fe' no no NO you dont UNDERSTAND jacks santa fe isn't REAL!!! NONE OF IT IS!!! jack yearns for santa fe BECAUSE he has no connection to it!!! he has no expectations of it at all, he just found a place that was as opposite to new york as he could imagine and pinned all his hopes on it, THAT'S THE TRAGEDY OF IT ALL!!! if jack did go to santa fe, he'd realize all too quickly that this was not the fantasy he built up in his head. he will always feel out of place wherever he goes because the thing he's running from is a piece of himself that he has to reckon with, that's the whole point!! family isn't something he'll just stumble upon by chance, it's something he has to be brave enough to make for himself. his santa fe could've been ANYWHERE. thats why "i'm dead if i can't count on you today" was so gut-wrenching, because he CAN'T count on santa fe. ever. IT'S NOT REAL.

I am of the personal belief that you could easily gender-bend the casting of any character in Newsies as long as you’re not a coward about it

big fan of when its pride month and the ask game pride month sexuality headcanon goes around again and people send me asks/reply to the post asking for the characters

Spot's introduction is HILARIOUS to me.

It's like- he's the KING OF BROOKLYN. Everyone's SCARED of him. And then the camera pans to this kid who's tiny and full of rage.

And his name is Spot.

there’s something similar about newsies and urinetown, can’t figure out what, but it’s there

#its quite literally just the same musical but one’s about piss #newsies #92sies #newsies 1992 #newsies broadway #newsies movie #1992sies #newsies strike #urinetown

If Newsies (1992) has a million fans, I'm one of them.

If Newsies (1992) has 5 fans, I'm one of them.

If Newsies (1992) has 1 fan, that one is me.

If Newsies (1992) has no fans, I'm no longer alive.

If the world is against Newsies (1992) I'm against the entire world.

happy eight year anniversary to the toursies leaving zachary sayle at a rest stop

i'm a sucker for the "jack goes to santa fe but it's nothing like his dreams" trope

Attention Fansies!

Christian Bale and Robert Duvall are to star together again in Netflix’s new show “The Pale Blue Eye”, a fictionalisation of the life of Edgar Allen Poe, 30 years after they worked together on Newsies.

Wish I could have been a fly on the wall of that set. Would love to know what their dynamic’s like after so many years and now Christian’s that much older
