Excellent video of the tour, featuring Lexie's second show as Miss Argentina. There is a head on the left side that is always worked around and doesn't take away at all. some washout is seen in wideshots but it's minimal.

Airing It Out

Yo - The world we live in is SO messed up. No, honestly. It’s screwed. Talent means absolutely nothing. Had work doesn’t always pay off. And racism, I promise, is absolutely alive and well. In every industry and on every square foot of our country. Don’t even try to lie and convince me otherwise. I allowed myself to get frustrated in some things this past week that I was probably over dramatic about but I feel like they’re so valid. I've watched friends be not given roles or even opportunity bc of the color of their skin or their sexual orientation. I’ve also seen favoritism in my work spaces bc of those same things. You would think that those things get old and you get used to them, but they’ll always hurt. SO much. Bc no, I’m not the best dancer in the world. I’m not the best voice you’ve ever heard. And I promise that I’m not the actor that’s gonna make you cry. But damnit, I’ve done some hard work in my years as apart of this business. But bc I’m not the super masculine, muscular, white guy my opportunities will never be anything close to what I deserve. But I say all of that to say this - You’re worth it af. Honestly, I had to look in the mirror and tell myself, “the only person you need to impress and be better than is YOU, yesterday.” I’ll never be what people want me to be, but I’m okay as long as I’m who I want to be. I’m gonna strive towards a happier and positive life bc it’s not enough to be a light for everyone else if you’re struggling being a light for yourself. So, I think I’m gonna take a break from posting a lot on my social media accounts for a bit. Love you! Xx

[broadwaycantdie]

How do you know so many newsies? I’ve frankly gotten a lot better at it than I used to be (I can easily recognize Mush/Romeo/Specs/Albert/Finch/Spot/Race/etc, and I’m getting better at recognizing Tommy Boy/Elmer/Henry, and I’m working on recognizing Buttons) but there’s still some newsies who I have no idea who they are, like Sniper, Mike/Ike, Smalls, and more. So I was just wondering if you have some tips??

this is actually something i love helping people with ! it can be super hard to figure out who is who especially when watching the show and everyone is moving around, dancing, and wearing practically the same outfit over and over, but these are my tips as well as who plays each character !

( i’ll skip main characters as well as the ones you listed )

also i’m gonna do this based on LIVE cause that’s what most people have access too but i’ll also put who they’ve been played by in the rest of the run

also also, the best way i would say to remember them (and what i do) is just memorize the actors honestly, i just made a list of everyone in each cast (which i would be happy to share) and studied it and pointed them out as i watched or looked at pictures and matched them up and eventually got it

Buttons:

played by Chaz Wolcott in live

tall and lanky pale white boy

always a smiley boy!

lowkey constantly looks confused

find him tap dancing the best

he “won’t be last in line for the tub tonight” when he sees his face in the pape :)

also played by: JP Ferreri, Jess LeProtto, Damon J. Gillespie

Elmer:

played by Anthony Zas in live

medium height white boy

curly floof hair boy

smiles a lot

very confused / doesn’t know what’s going on a lot of the time but excited about it

pants are pulled up VERY high (higher than everyone else’s)

also played by: Evan Kasprzak, Jeff Heimbrock

Henry:

played by MJ Rios in live

curly hair

short poc boy

wants a “pastrami on rye with a sour pickle” in king of new york :)

has the prettiest whitest teeth i’ve ever seen

^ smiles to show them off a lot

also played by: Kyle Coffman, Iain Young, Demarius R. Copes

Hotshot:

played by JP Ferreri in live

tall(ish) possibly poc boy

brooklyn boy

red shirt w/o sleeves

skinniest of the brooklyn newsies (in live)

during the run the brooklyn boys were constantly being switched out and hotshot didn’t get a name until live (to my knowledge) so it’s hard to say who played him

Jojo:

played by Joshua Burrage in live

very tall lanky white boy

wants “a solid gold watch with a chain to twirl it” in king of new york

smiles a lot

often in close vicinity to race

also played by: Corey Hummerston, Thayne Jasperson, Nico James Greetham

Kenny:

played by Jack J. Sippel in live

medium height white boy

very happy to be here

gorgeous teeth

spins his pape bag around his ankle in carrying the banner

only in live, although some swings during the run didn’t have names so they could technically also be kenny

Kid Blink:

played by Andy Richardson in live

short poc boy

no eyepatch even though he should so it gets confusing

gets lost in the crowd easily

also only in live (by name)

Mike / Ike:

played by Jacob and David Guzman

twins !

medium / shortish curly haired poc boys

David plays Ike because “I” comes before “M” in the alphabet and “D” comes before “J” (David is alphabetically before Jacob and Ike is before Mike as well, so they line up)

easy to point out because they are twins so just find two people that look the same

Jacob has a freckle on his nose (not cheek)

David has a freckle on his cheek (not nose)

in everything but live, the Delaney brothers also double as Mike and Ike

Jacob ( Mike ) wear a checkerd shirt

David ( Ike ) wears a stripped shirt

also played by: (Ike) Brendon Stimpson, Jon Hacker, Anthony Norman // (Mike) Mike Faist, Adam Kaplan, Michael Patrick Ryan, Devin Lewis

Smalls:

played by Julian DeGuzman in live

very short poc boy

smiles a lot lot

does the spoon fight with Race in king of new york

is one of the 2 newsies to be played by females (not in live)

also played by: Laurie Veldheer, Molly Jobe, Josh Assor

Sniper:

played by Daniel Switzer in live

medium / tall pale white male

usually looks very serious or angry

the other newsie to be played by females (not in live)

also played by: Scott Shendenhelm, Alex Wong, Jacob Guzman, Ginna Claire Mason, Kaitlyn Frank

Tommy Boy:

played by Michael Dameski in live

just look for the most technically correct and perfect dancer (they are all great but Dameski always has perfect technique and likes to show it off)

also he has the thickest eyebrows of everyone!

has a very bad american accent (he gets like one like and it’s hard to hear but when you do you can tell)

looks very serious all the time

also played by: Tommy Bracco, Evan Autio

——————————————————————————

heres some pics that i hope help too ( the unnamed swings or swings filling in for characters i left blank to avoid being wrong or causing confusion ) // and if i couldn’t see their face and i couldn’t tell who they were they are also blank
