Newsies takes place around the time that Erik would be in Coney Island with his freak show.

Do with this information what you will.

Warning: Mentions of violence:

“Jack!!- ... JACK!!”

...

His head hurt so bad. God it hurt. Was he being crushed? He fluttered open one eye- the other felt swollen. He looked around, everything around him was blurry as the world around him shook and wobbled around. Was he being carried? In jail- Wait...

“Mornin’ little fella!”

“He’s awake, ah- good. How’s the head, pipsqueak?”

Oh good. These two fuckers.

The Delancey brothers had been a thorn in the Newsies side since minute one of their operation. And since Davey was revealed a pred, they’ve gotten more confident in their revenge plots. But this? Beaten unconscious, shrunken, and thrown in a cage, displayed in public for all to see?! Crutchie was terrified. He hadn’t realized how curled in he had made himself.

“How cute, Morris- his little legs is shakin’!” He said with a laugh. Crutchie shuddered. Oscar. The man who tied him up and beat him with his own crutch.

“Oh yeah. Lookin’ at his lil’ lip tremblin’. How adorable.” Morris. No better than his brother. Guilty of pinning him to a wall- punching him in the neck repeatedly until he couldn’t breathe. Crutchie cringed.

It didn’t get any better as he was taken into the refuge. Comments from passerbys...

“Ey, look at this one!”

“Awe, he’s shakin’!”

“Ya gonna cry, little one?~”

“He’s whinin’, he hurts so bad!”

Crutchie wanted to curl up and disappear. No more of this... please, no more! He looked up at the two brothers- their sinister smiles and laughing that made them oh so very menacing. Crutchie would normally say ‘I ain’t scared a’ you!’- but he was alone. No Jack Kelly to rough them up. No Davey to threaten them until they wet themselves. No brothers to back him up. Nobody.

He was alone.

And he would be alone for a very long time.

Jack ‘disaster art student’ Kelly hcs

Joined every art club he could when he started hs

Yeah that lasted for approx 1 term

And then he ,, slowly ,, disappeared ,, from ,, one ,, club ,, at ,, a ,, time ,, until ,, he ,, was ,, only ,, in ,, one

Why?

Too restricting or smth

(Totally became club captain on that One Club He Stayed In by yr 10 tho)

V protective of all students who join his club and helps them experiment until they find mediums they’re comfortable in but also makes them explore other things too!!

Always loosing pencils and stuff

Like he puts them down and ?? Ten seconds later they’re gone??

Conversely, he guards his pastels and good markers with his life

Touch them and you’ll be lucky to escape with two hands

ALWAYS DOODLING ON HIS BOOKS

Like?? There are more little people, animals and flowers in his maths books than there are equations

Teachers and friends lowkey picked up on this and //have been known// to make guesses about who he’s crushing on based on who he’s drawing

(It’s Davey)

(Like seriously - 90% of the time)

(You thought I wouldn’t put Javid into this? You are underestimating me)

Super guarded about his art

So kind of ironic that he doodles so much where anyone can see?

Oh well

HATES DOING ANYTHING THAT ISNT PENCIL/PASTEL/MARKER/ACRYLICS

Cried the last time he attempted sculpture work probably

Two a.m. coffees when he hasn’t finished his classwork or portfolio

Works best after midnight

Bedroom permanently smells like oil paint with floor covered in half finished projects

Draws on Daveys hands a lot?

Or tbh anyone who he’s sitting close to

So yes most of his friends have his drawings all over the arms

And they are fine with that

In this house, we love and support Jack Kelly and all of his friends who let him use them as his human canvases

I’m watching newsies live (for the last time on Netflix)

And I’m noticing that Albert’s cap can looks like it’s struggling to keep all of Albert’s (Sky’s) hair contained.

The funny part is that Jon Hacker did play a delancey brother so he might be Mike the newsie in here just as Mike Faist was Mike the Newsie when his incident occurred.

I’m crying

Highlights of the Grove Theatre production of Newsies!

I saw the Grove Theatre production of Newsies in Upland, CA this past weekend. It was an amazing show like always! I will say that it was a smaller venue than I’m used it but that made the performance more intimate, chaotic, and memorable.

Pre-Show

-Finch, Romeo, and Albert selling papers (show programs and playbills) as the pre-show. Some of the seats of the theater has pennies on the armrests so those were what we paid with.

-Romeo and Finch play fighting and racing and playing tag and just being newsies to the audience as they were trickling into their seats.

-apparently Romeo is the responsible one yet he can’t tell time and yet he wants to buy a pocket watch just for the looks.

-Albert stole race’s cigar during the pre-show and was bragging that she stole it from Race.

-Cap Theft part 1! Finch stole Romeo’s cap and ran all around the theater and finally place the cap on me.

-newsie discourse about “sellin free food.” Finch says there’s no such thing, Elmer disagrees because an audience member says she sells free food all the time.

-CAP THEFT part 2! This time Romeo stoke and switched Elmer ‘s cap with his but then placed Elmer’s cap on another audience member. Elmer didn’t see this and thought Romeo was wearing his cap but Romeo legitimately was wearing his own cap. Elmer eventually figured it out and then both Elmer and Romeo proceeded to fight but Romeo distracts Elmer and runs away.

-Albert sold his last pape for a dollar runs back to the lodge and almost trips onto the stage.

Act 1

-crutchie actually tried to be quiet before Santa Fe prologue.

-a lot of female newsies and POC newsies.

-Romeo jumped down from one of the sets infront of Katherine and Darcy.

-Darcy was very tall! I think he was the tallest in the cast

-when the delanceys were gonna attack crutchie, it looked like the other newsies held crutchie back because we wanted the fight! Also jack kneed Morris in the gut.

-Wiesel had an Eyepatch and smoked a cigar like Race

-nunzio was very adamant that me Pulitzer stayed still.

-Snyder was a long trench coat wearing villain. With fedora to match.

-medda was amazing as always! She had this larger feathered red hat and lots of gold and red jewelry

-the Bowery beauties had an umbrella dance choreography during Dont come a knocking

-the newsies were winning the brawl after seize the day but once the bulls showed up they lost. Also the entire fight scene was super chaotic. It was very difficult to keep track as to what was happening but I think someone stole crutchie’s crutch and was beating people with it.

-also crutchie was still conscious when Snyder was dragging him away. He was still screaming for the other newsies to help him.

-jack’s Santa Fe was amazing!!! There was little ministage on the side and that’s where he sulked and sang Santa Fe.

Intermission

-Albert raffles off tickets and called some audience members, little newsie in cosplay to draw the tickets. The little newsie drew his own ticket and his brother’s ticket for the 1st and 3rd prizes. Albert didn’t trust them one bit and it was very hilarious.

Act 2

-Katherine danced throughout the entire song

-Davey and Finch had a tap dance battle during KoNY!

-crutchie was alone during letter from the refuge. Like other performances I’ve seen had at least a few other newsies sleeping nearby but he was truly alone here.

-also I guess Davey lost his vest and cap between acts because in KoNY, he didn’t have them but during Watch what happened reprise, he did.

-poor Les’ mic was acting up before watch was happens reprise. Also everyone was stunned that Les had a date!

-Brooklyn’s here!!! Ok so the Brooklyn newsies come from one of the on-stage catwalks while the other newsies came from the aisles of the theater. We were surrounded by newsies!

-spot conlon was dressed in faded (dirty?) pastels newsie clothes. I think his shirt was a shade of pink!

-the davey actually had the newsies’s attention. Like they were agreeing with all his points before jack got to the rally mucked everything!

-ok so during the kissing scene, jack and Katherine were so confused as to what happened that they both spun around and looked away from each other bet they couldn’t believe what just happened.

-During once and for all, the newsies ran from the back of the theater onto the stage. again we were surrounded by newsies

-during the finale, the newsies were grossed out by Jack and Kath’s kiss. Sometimes I forget that the newsies are supposed to be kids and teens but this reminded me that they are.

Post-Show

-cast meet and greet with the full company. We got to see the costumes up close! I’m sad I didn’t get any photos of the cast during the meet and greet.
