Newsies: The Broadway Musical

I have watched this recording more than 20 times and I never get bored. Newsies is one of my favorite musicals and these cast is my favorite ever. Jeremy Jordan and Kara Lindsay have amazing chemistry and are incredible actors! I definitely recommend you watch this if you haven't.

10/6/17. A good production for the silver screen. As much as I would have loved to have seen this on Broadway, watching it this way actually was pretty good. You could never get the close-ups like you do with this film in the theater, not to mention the prohibitive pricing of Broadway shows.

I have been a Newsies fan since the beginning. I know the songs word for word. I also am a fan of the broadway musical, and I know they have to adapt it to the stage but there are to many deviations for me. Like the family story line and the change of Denton's character to Katherine's. Then still singing King of New York. Song in different spots in the plot, songs having a slower temple then the movie, and the end result of the strike all together. I am generally a person who says if it isn't broken don't fix it. But I am still impressed with the musical. I will still watch both and complain about the difference and annoy my husband the whole time. Lol.

I am one that enjoys Broadway shows and to combine both the Broadway & North American Tour together to make this show was Amazing. I hope they make this into a DVD like they did with CATS. The stage show personal touch versus a cinematic approach makes the show 1000x times better and easier to relate to the characters.

In just one word fantastic. As a Broadway fan I was so happy that Disney put this on.
