Reacting to Musicals

Newsies - Broadway

This is my 4th time fully watching it.

Unless I specifically say Fankhouser, just assume I'm talking about Cook when I say Ben
Expect word dumping

I love AKB & his Crutchie. Adorable

"No, I wanna go down" is actually my fav Crutchie quote

Tossed im to da coib, jus like yestedays papa

Crutchie wears his hat backwards. That's fucking adorable

Yo, have y'all seen that one video of JerJor, Leslie Odom Jr., Ben Platt, etc. sing Cell Block Tango? If you haven't you should. It's amazing. Anyway, I'm pretty sure JerJor does more dancing in those 7 minutes than he does throughout the entirety of Newsies. I'm not judging, I can't dance to save my life, but I just find it funny.
I'm gonna shut up for now, cause I'm not even 5 minutes into it, & I've spent enough time writing meaningless shit.

Okay, I lied.
Y'know when Crutchie says "watch me stand, watch me run." It's so heartbreaking, cause you can see in his face how much he's looking forward to that, like, he can't wait to be able to walk like a normal boy. And then you see the realization pass across his face as he realizes that's not gonna happen. It's just so sad

Santa Fe Prologue is one of my favs

BEN COOK MY LOVE

SKYYY

I love Ben's voice

Romeo is so tiny & I love it

I gOt pOiSiNalItY

After Jack tied Crutchie's shoe he kissed it

Honestly, if the actor for Tommy Boy (I forget his name) was a little bit shorter, I think he'd make a good Spot. He looks like the 92 Spot. Nothing against Tommy Bracco, tho, he's great & I love the whole cast.

Also, kinda upset that Andy Richardson named his background character Blink but didn't wear an eyepatch

BEN

iTs EiGhTy EiGhT dEgReEs

Elmer's adorable

I love Sky's hair

Also, Jordan Samuels flips

BENS EYES

10 minutes in & Ben's hair is already a mess

Sky carrying Crutchie offstage
Also, you can see AKB jump up into his arms before they change the camera

BEEEEEEN

Crutchie's an angel

Shut the frixk up Les (no hate, I just honestly don't like the Broadway Les very much. I think his lines & delivery come off a bit annoying & bratty. Love the actor, not the character so much)

Specs providing quality background facial expressions

Casually watches Ben, Sky, & Nico in the dance scenes

I love Hannah

FoOtBaLl? ViOlEnT?!?

Ok, this may take a little bit longer, since my phone is dying & I can't find a charger.

Oki, we good

Wtf, my cat is licking the walls

Wth, now he's licking the floor

There's something wrong w/ my cat

SHIT HE ATE SOMETHING OFF THE FLOOR AGAIN OLLIE STOP DOING THAT THIS IS WHY YOU ONLY HAVE ONE EYEBROW
BRB GUYS
