A Sneak Peek at Alan Menken's 'Newsies', the Musical

told the fact-inspired tale of a newsboys' labor strike in 1890s New York. That cult is about to get larger with a new expanded stage version, "Newsies", with fresh songs by Menken and Feldman, and a new script by Harvey Fierstein, testing it wings at Paper Mill Playhouse in New Jersey. Playbill was on hand Sept. 1 at the New 42nd Street Studios for a sneak peek at the show starring Jeremy Jordan as streetwise Jack Kelly, Andrew Keenan-Bolger as sidekick Crutchie and Kara Lindsay as Katherine Plumber, a newly invented love interest.

The kid stands up to give Kara a hug and she sits right down and his arms are just kind of open for a second.

When Les couldn't rip the pape, so Crutchie told him to put it on the ground and they ripped in in half together I almost started almost started crying. One of my favorite parts. Crutchie is just my favorite character, along with Davey and Jack.

i keep at  looking at Jeremy Jordan arm's wow look how he pick up Crutchie lol

[miabadalucco]

so glad that they made jack more of an artist than a "cowboy". it's a beautiful alteration. ug, and andrew keenan-bolger is just amazing. he played crutchie so well, so perfectly, i miss him. but andy is doing a great job, too, so that's good. god, i love this show.

For all of you who said that "Jeremy Jordan puts no emotion into his jack Kelly" well watch this. I love Jeremy I think he is the best jack:)

[croco_duck]

It's 2018 and I'm watching this...I have watched newsies (Broadway) so many times, and I still can't watch it when Crutchie gets attacked. I think i'm obsessed.

[goodjobeli]

[Lara_Martinez]
