when i say i love racetrack higgins i do not mean whatever the fandom did to him over the years. i mean the racetrack higgins who was abandoned at 2 years old. i mean the racetrack higgins with a serious fear of abandonment because of that (spoiler alert a best friend who constantly says he wants to leave for santa fe isnt good for him). i mean the racetrack higgins who is quick with a joke because he feels he has to be. i mean the racetrack higgins who tries to mimic jack and be a good leader for those kids when he can be. i mean the racetrack higgins who is trying his hardest to sound smart. i mean the racetrack higgins who gambles because he knows hes good at it and to him at least hes good at something. i mean racetrack higgins who smokes because it calms him down. i mean racetrack higgins the little tough guy.

i adore how quick the boys are to help crutchie when he needs it. no discussion, no pity, just support.
when morris pushes him over, it isn't jack (who is right there) who helps him up, neither is it race nor romeo, who we saw him interact with earlier in the song. it's albert who helps him up, and it's albert who carries him until he gets his crutch back. did they have a system? was it albert's job to carry crutchie when needed? was it because they're close friends, and we just never get to see it again? or was it that any of the newsies would have done it, but albert happened to be the closest?
Tumblr media
when the nuns hand out food, kid blink and smalls don't hesitate before hoisting him onto their shoulders. jack and specs both place their hands on his back to ensure that he doesn't fall backwards. it's so smooth, so natural, like they've done it a million times before.
and note: i don't think crutchie interacts with any of those characters (albert, kid blink, smalls) at any other moment in the musical.
conclusion: crutchie is so so loved.

date idea: we watch newsies and you listen to me talk about my little gay newsboys
date idea: we watch wss and you listen to me talk about my little gangster boys
date idea: we dress up as newsies and preform in synch with the show

If you ask Mush, winter is one of the best times of the year, but it seems he's one of the only people in the lodgings that feels that way. What starts as a way to take Blink's mind off of the now cold, dark months ends up being a bigger scheme than even he was imagining, and he's more than happy to take the opportunity to plan a celebration that'll have everyone raring with holiday spirit. With help, of course.
OR: Mush throws a Christmas Party.

We have to seize the day
By carrying the banner
So the world will know
We have something to believe in
So don't come a knocking on my door
Just watch what happens
Because that's the bottom line

part 1 | part 2 | part 3 | part 4
"so." she has a grin on her face. she looks anything but happy. "i've been hearin' things, jackie boy. you 'hattan boys are playin' like you're going on a strike."
"well, we ain't playin'," jack mutters. "we are goin' on strike." davey watches the way spot's jaw sets. "and we- the two o' us came t'ask for your help, spot."
"my help?" she says quietly. it makes his skin itch, the way spot's looking at jack. she sets her chin on her cane and stares.
"we 'hattan boys ain't enough by ourselves. we need you guys. we- you brooklyn kids- y'know?"
"and davey?" spot asks, in a tone that gives off anger. "what d'you have to say?"
"um. well, you- you're the key for our strike. the most powerful borough, most feared newsies. we need you guys or we just don't have enough power. you're-"
"you want us to join?" spot interrupts. jack nods as she shoves herself off of her throne. "are you fucking kiddin' me?" jack swallows.
"spot, pulitzer can't treat us like we is nothin'."
"yeah?" she shoves him back. "your new kid teach you that?" she shoves him again and he stumbles back a little. davey grabs his sleeve and she glares at him. "listen up, kelly. your boys in 'hattan ain't nothin' like me- they got some power i ain't ever gonna get! look around- how many girls do ya see?"
"spot-" jack glances away from her glare so she grabs his hair and yanks him down to her level.
"i said fuckin' look around, kelly. these girls need my protection. they need the money. they don't got your boys' safety. i ain't puttin' them in any danger." she lets go of his hair. "what happens when your boys give up?"
"give up?" davey repeats. he jumps forward to say something but her cane stops him. "we- we won't give up."
"yeah, you say that," she bites out. "until i know that, we ain't doin' anything. i ain't puttin' none of my girls through that!"
"spot-" jack tries.
"no. show me you ain't givin' up and we can talk. till then, hotshot and stray can take ya back." she sits in her throne, gestures for hotshot and stray. hotshot shows up, a big grin on her face. stray pops up behind him, bouncing on her toes.
"well, aintcha a pretty one?" stray loops her arm through davey's and starts to pull him along. "i dunno what you was talkin' to spot about but she ain't lookin' so happy, huh?" jack and hotshot trail behind them. "i heard somethin' 'bout a strike."
"nothing important now. she said no."
"eh, spottie ain't up for a good time like the rest of us," stray mutters. she bounces up and down as they walk. she salutes another girl they pass on the street. davey hears jack and hotshot talking with each other behind them. "whatcha want her to do? go on strike?"
"pulitzer raised the price of papes. manhattan is striking."
"ooh!" she grins. "sounds like a good time if i ever heard one. maybe i'll sneak on down. just to see ya," she adds quietly. davey smiles down at her. "i'll talk to spot for ya."
"will she change her mind?"
"she never does, not about important things. sorry, love." davey looks down. she stops at the edge of the bridge. "good luck on your strike."

I don't talk about Elmer Kasprzak nearly enough on here when my keyboard literally auto suggests his name as the next words whenever I type "I love"

Sometimes I rewatch the Tuck Everlasting musical just to feel something. Everyone who enjoys musical theatre should be required to watch it at least once

I don't understand people who are fans of a show but only like one cast?? (typically the original broadway cast, or whatever cast got the show popular) like... I love seeing different casts do my favourite shows! I love seeing how different actors characterize their roles!! and sure I can understand having favourites, that makes sense, but I don't understand when people go to a video or something of someone who's going in for a role and say stuff like "not my [character name]", or "well, they're okay but they'll never be [another actor who played the same character]" like???? they're not supposed to??? different interpretations of characters are so important and so interesting!!!!!
