Okay as promised my first impressions of Newsies!!

Okay I was not expecting this show to be so incredibly funny, like there's humouring lines stuff but the actors delivery of them was so good I was laughing for almost the whole show

I have not stopped thinking about the set all day like WOAH, it's so cool the way they use the projections and stuff and the set has so many big moving parts it's so cool I was super impressed (I will continue to not stop thinking about this for quite some time)

tbh not all the music was my favourite cause but i'm certain it'll grow on me because there are some parts that are simply EPIC! My favourite was Santa Fe simply because I found it incredibly relatable (military kid things💀) but i'm absolutely in love with Capathia Jenkins's voice. Anyway while they're all incredibly great singers it was definitely more dance focused imo and like HOLY SHIT THE DANCING!!!! Actually tell me who gave the Newsies production team the right to creat choreo that mesmerizing and impressive. My favourite was that part where that guy does this super long spinny-thing standing on a newspaper then like flips over with his leg in the air to rip it in half. (Yes I know i'm super good at descriptions/sar)

And the acting was SO GOOD, like I said earlier the line delivery was so engaging and I enjoyed it so so much, whoever plays Jack Kelly I actually love his acting with a burning passion/p His portrayal of changing emotions and humour and reacting to things, and you could really see when the character was thinking and debating with himself

Also special mention to the nuns harmonies right at the beginning they made my life 50% better

guys i'm such a big fan of crutchie (I didn't catch his real name help) When Davey first walked in he kinda reminded me of Nevel Longbottom ngl

I know I already said this but why was everyone so damn funny what the hell/vpos

Katherine Plumber, nuff said/pos

the acting was SO GOOD oh my god

anyway overall I LOVE IT AND I CANT WAIT TO SEEK OUT ANF CONSUME ALL THE NEWSIES CONTENT TUMBLR HAS TO OFFER

(though to make it clear The Outsiders is and always will be my #1 musical book and movie)

[dustyy-angel]

I'm bad at phrasing things so bare with me but I think we need to talk about how some of the actors are treated by the Newsies fandom.

The amount of times I've seen Ryan Breslin completely left out of conversations surrounding Race (the character he originated) or made fun of for not being as attractive as Ben Cook is actually kinda upsetting. I don't think I've ever seen anyone talk about Brendon Stimson (OBC Oscar Delancey, Jack Kelly u/s) or Adam Kaplan (Morris Delancey, Jack Kelly u/s) the same way they talk about Mike Faist (OBC Morris Delancey, Jack Kelly u/s) even though they're both amazing and were actually with the show longer than he was. Neither of them are even listed on the wiki as Jack Kelly understudies. Capathia Jenkins is super talented and she plays Medda really really well. Even if you like the movie version of her character better that's not an excuse to make fun of her portrayal in the broadway show.

This is just my opinion and you don't have to agree with any of it but it's how I feel and I just wanted to put my thoughts out there because I love this show and it's fandom so much.

Newsies forever!

Newsies opened on Broadway at the Nederlander Theatre for a limited engagement starting in previews on March 15, 2012, and officially on March 29, 2012. On May 16, 2012, Disney announced that Newsies was an open-ended engagement. The engagement was extended through August 19, 2012, after the first previews.

The original cast of the Broadway production featured Jeremy Jordan as Jack Kelly and John Dossett as newspaper tycoon Joseph Pulitzer. The cast also included Kara Lindsay as Katherine Plumber, Capathia Jenkins as Medda Larkin, Ben Fankhauser as Davey, Andrew Keenan-Bolger as Crutchie, Lewis Grosso and Matthew Schechter sharing the role of Les, Tommy Bracco as Spot Conlon, Ryan Breslin as Race, Andy Richardson as Romeo, Garett Hawe as Albert, Ryan Steele as Specs, Aaron J. Albano as Finch, Mike Faist as Morris Delancey and Jordan’s understudy, Mark Aldrich as Seitz and Kevin Carolan as Nunzio and Theodore Roosevelt. The Broadway production cost about $5 million to stage. Newsies recouped its initial investment of $5M in seven months, becoming the fastest of any Disney musical on Broadway to turn a profit, and closed on August 24, 2014, having played 1,004 performances.

fellow fansies - I have complied a (hopefully) comprehensive list of cast members for anyone new to the fandom or for those who may like a refresher on the casts. I've not included every single character, just the main ones, so if you'd like a character adding just ask; also if you notice any cast members are missing or have been labelled incorrectly in any way, please let me know, I want this list to be as accurate as possible. characters with a dash (-) for any of the categories I wasn't sure if they were included in that production or not. if you're able to fill in any of the blanks that would be much appreciated. any questions, please let me know <3

Okay, so Vocal Coaches are amazing. They give you personalized advice for singing based on your own voice and it’s great.

However, if you can’t get a vocal coach, it’s possible to learn through observation. This gets a bit tricky since it’s very easy to fall into mimicking other people’s voices, which isn’t healthy/sustainable for most singing purposes. Ideally, you want to mimic the technique, not the voice. Now, a good thing to do when you want to learn new techniques is to find singers who have voices similar to yours and see what they do.

If they have a similar voice to yours, the vocal maneuvers that are healthy for them have a better chance of translating over to you.

You can track them to find more fun songs to sing.

When looking for these singers, match your voice types, vocal timbres, and preferred music genre.

Voice types are: Soprano (High Female), Mezzo Soprano (Middle Female), Alto (Low Female), Tenor (High Male), Baritone (Middle Male), Bass (Low Male)

Some things that describe vocal timbres are: “Bright” (Sounds higher, more youthful. Think 1937 Snow White for high female voices, 1997 Anastasia for lower female voices. The closer it sounds to Spongebob or a Wicked Witch, the brighter it is), “Warm” or “Dark” (Sounds like it has depth, a little more mature. Think 1959 Sleeping Beauty for soprano voices, 1950 Cinderella for Mezzo or Alto Voices. The closer it sounds to a Femme Fatale character or to Patrick Warburton, the darker it is), and there are more but I don’t know the technical terms. If a voice type is a range, then a timbre is the way a voice sounds within that range.

I haven’t heard a song that wasn’t from a musical since 2016, so all my examples of singers are broadway or movie musical stars. I have blind spots. You can find more people using your ears, a recording of your own singing, and a radio/music streaming service.

Soprano or Mezzo - Bright: Laura Osnes (Bandstand, Bonnie & Clyde, 2013 Cinderella), Lauren Worsham (Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder), Lisa O’Hare (Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder), Kristin Chenoweth (Wicked, Candide, Descendants, and so much more), Kristin Stokes (Percy Jackson Musical), Kara Lindsay (Newsies, also Wicked), Caroline Innerbichler (Frozen Tour), Anna Kendrick (Pitch Perfect, Movie Last Five Years, Movie Into the Woods, etc.), Sutton Foster (Little Women, Shrek the Musical, Anything Goes, Drowsy Chaperone, etc.), Liz Callaway (Film Anastasia, Lion King II, etc.), Jessica Vosk (Wicked, Dreamland, more than that), Annaleigh Ashford (Legally Blonde, Sweeney Todd Revival, Wicked, etc), Jessie Mueller (Six, Beautiful the Carole King musical, definitely more), Laura Bell Bundy (Legally Blonde, probably more than that), Sherie Renee Scott (Broadway Last Five Years, definitely more)

Soprano or Mezzo - Dark/Warm: Kelli O’Hara (Light in the Piazza, 2012 Brigadoon, Bridges of Madison County, Days of Wine and Roses, etc), Patti Murin (Frozen Broadway), Barbara Streisand (Funny Girl, Hello Dolly!, many more), Kate Baldwin (Big Fish Broadway Musical), Barbara Cook (Original Music Man, She Loves Me), Laura Benanti (She Loves Me revival), Sierra Boggess (Phantom of the Opera, The Little Mermaid Broadway, etc.), Phillipa Soo (Hamilton, 2022 Into the Woods, 2023 Camelot, Amelie, etc), Christy Altomare (Anastasia the Musical), Idina Menzel (Wicked, Rent, Disney’s Disenchanted, etc), Julie Andrews (Sound of Music, Original Camelot, Mary Poppins, My Fair Lady, etc), Denee Benton (Great Comet, I know she has been in other things, but I don’t know what they are), Emily Rohm (Ride the Cyclone), Erika Henningsen (Mean Girls broadway, The Theory of Relativity, almost definitely more), Gelsey Bell (Great Comet, Ghost Quartet, probably more Dave Malloy things)

Mezzo/Alto - Bright: Caroline O’Connor (Anastasia Broadway), Patina Miller (2022 Into the Woods), Capathia Jenkins (Newsies, might not be an alto), Faith Prince (Original Broadway Guys and Dolls), Ciara Renee (Big Fish the musical, might not be an alto), Susan Egan (Beauty and the Beast broadway, Movie Hercules, etc), Barret Wilbert Weed (Mean Girls, Heathers, probably much more), Eva Noblezada (Hadestown, The Great Gatsby, definitely more), Amber Gray (Great Comet, Hadestown, I’ll bet there’s more)

Mezzo/Alto - Warm/Dark: Brittain Ashford (Great Comet, Ghost Quartet, more Dave Malloy things, etc.), Judy Garland (The Wizard of Oz film, Meet Me in St. Louis film, etc), Mary Beth Peil (Anastasia Broadway), Sara Bareilles (Waitress, 2022 Into the Woods), Meryl Streep (Mamma Mia film, Into the Woods film, etc), Jill Paice (American in Paris Broadway Musical), Stephanie J. Block (2012 Brigadoon, she has many other credits but I don’t know them), Marla Schaffel (Jane Eyre the Musical), Molly Gordon (Alice by Heart, probably more)

Tenor - Bright: Jeremy Jordan (Newsies, Bonnie & Clyde, The Great Gatsby, Movie Last Five Years, etc), Rory O’Malley (Book of Mormon, I don’t know his other credits, but I bet they exist), Robert Fairchild (American in Paris), Johnathan Groff (Movie Frozen, Little Shop, 2024 Merrily We Roll Along, Hamilton, etc), Lin Manuel Miranda (Hamilton, In the Heights, anything he has written), Ben Fankhauser (Newsies, The Mad Ones, etc. Kind of in the middle with the bright/dark tones), Andrew Keenan-Bolger (Newsies, Tuck Everlasting), Michael Crawford (Original Phantom of the Opera, Movie Hello Dolly, etc), Chris McCarrell (Percy Jackson Musical, One of the Les Mis casts, etc), George Salazar (Percy Jackson Musical, Be More Chill, etc), Johnathan Raviv (Percy Jackson Musical), Sam Primack (Dreamland, probably more than that), Nirvaan Pal (Dreamland, probably more than that), Corey Cott (Bandstand, Newsies, almost definitely more than that), Colton Ryan (Alice by Heart, probably more)

Tenor - Warm/Dark: Derek Klena (Anastasia broadway musical, Pretty sure he was in Moulin Rouge, but I don’t know if he was the cast recording cast, etc.), Aaron Tveit (Movie Les Mis, another Moulin Rouge person that I don’t know about cast recording status), Hugh Jackman (Movie Les Mis, Greatest Showman, etc), Norbert Leo Butz (Wicked, Big Fish, etc), Bryce Pinkham (Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder), Gavin Creel (2022 Into the Woods, I’ll bet there are more), Santino Fontana (2013 Cinderella, there are more), Ramin Karimloo (Anastasia broadway, Phantom of the Opera, Funny Girl Revival, he’s either a tenor or a baritone with RANGE), Bobby Steggert (Big Fish Musical), Ross Lekites (2012 Brigadoon, probably more), Ben Platt (Dear Evan Hansen, definitely more than that)

Baritone - Bright: Christian Borle (Little Shop, Something Rotten, definitely more than that. Either he’s a high baritone or a tenor), Jefferson Mays (Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder), Tom Alan Robbins (Little Shop - same cast as Johnathan Groff, probably more), Zachary Levi (Tangled, She Loves Me Revival), Chris Pine (Movie Into the Woods, Wish. Either a high baritone or a tenor), Robert Preston (Original Music Man, Movie Music Man,

Baritone - Warm/Dark: Josh Groban (Great Comet, Sweeney Todd Revival, etc), John Bolton (Anastasia broadway cast), Constantine Germanacos (Anastasia broadway, probably more), Brian D’arcy James (2022 Into the Woods, Days of Wine and Roses, Shrek the Musical, etc), John Dosset (Newsies, probably more), Peter Gallagher (Original Broadway Guys and Dolls), Brandon Uranowitz (American in Paris broadway musical, probably more), Patrick Wilson (Movie Phantom of the Opera, 2012 Brigadoon, probably more), Michael Ball (2020 Les Mis)

Bass (There are so few of these in musical theatre and just in general that I can’t split it up by timbre) - Patrick Page (Hadestown, Hunchback of Notre Dame, probably more), Michael McElroy (Dreamland, definitely more than that), that one soloist in “A Rumor in St. Petersburg,” that one ensemble member from A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder.

Classical & Soul: Baltimore Symphony Orchestra Presents Two Riveting and Diverse Concerts in North Bethesda, MD

The Jupiter Symphony

The Jupiter Symphony, also known as Symphony No. 41 in C major, K. 551, stands as one of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's crowning achievements in symphonic composition. Completed in 1788, it marked the culmination of his symphonic works and remains an exemplary piece within the classical repertoire.

Comprising four movements, the symphony showcases Mozart's mastery of orchestration, thematic development, and harmonic complexity. The opening movement, marked by its grandeur and exuberance, introduces a majestic theme that undergoes intricate transformations throughout the piece. The slow second movement exudes a serene and contemplative mood, contrasted by the spirited, dance-like character of the third movement.

However, it's the final movement that earned the symphony its nickname "Jupiter." This vibrant finale is a testament to Mozart's brilliance, intertwining five distinct themes in a polyphonic marvel, displaying an unprecedented level of contrapuntal skill. The music's cascading melodies, dazzling rhythms, and kaleidoscopic interplay of instruments create an awe-inspiring musical tapestry.

Mozart's Jupiter Symphony continues to captivate audiences and musicians alike with its complexity, innovation, and sheer beauty. Its profound impact on classical music endures, serving as a testament to Mozart's unparalleled genius and his lasting legacy in the annals of musical history.

Grab your concert tickets and head over to The Music Center at Strathmore to watch this symphony being performed live by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra headed by conductor James Conlon. Other pieces being performed include Mozart’s Symphony No. 25 and Piano Concerto No. 23. The performance of Mozart Jupiter Symphony North Bethesda Maryland will take place on January 07, 2024 at 3p.
