me: I’m not dululu

also me: DURING KING OF NY WHEN RACE SINGS “AINT I PRETTY” YOU CAN SEE SPOT NOD AND THIS MEANS THEYRE CANON IN THIS ESSAY I WILL —

What I love about “King of New York” is that they all just got beat up (that morning? Idk), Les’ arm is literally in a sling, their makeup shows that they are all bruised and what not, they are just down in the dumps. But when Kathrine comes in with the newspaper, Race’s first thought is “Lets Tap Dance!!!”

Their moods changed so fast, rightly so, just hilarious.

Things In Newsies Live I Think About A Lot #1

Y'know that part at the beginning of KONY, when Race mimicks the Statue of Liberty by clutching the paper to his chest and holding a glass above his head? Well, you mightn't have noticed that when he does this, Henry is standing in front of him on the floor and he mouths "I'm the king of New York" when Race says it.

Does this mean that Race frequently goes into song and dance about being the king of New York? Does this mean that Henry knows Race so well that he can predict what he's about to say? Or is Henry magic and can read Race's mind?

Now, I don't want to make any assumptions here, but I like the sound of that last one.

[iloverace]

what if they aren’t singing about what THEY want in kony

so this whole song comes from Race wanting to like build morale

so I’m thinking he’s trying to like..entice the other newsies with things that he knows they love/really really want

ex. Race knows Romeo’s shoelaces have been mismatched ever since one of them snapped, so he’s all like “a pair of new shoes with matching laces”

then Romeo obviously knows how much Race would love to go to Sheepshead and not have to sit on the fence, so he’s like “a permanent box at the Sheepshead races”

also if this applies, Les knowing that Davey feels super squished into the bed they share?? like omg he’s so cute

“this is gonna make both the delancey’s pee in their pantsies” is a crazy lyric bc like 1) what the hell r u talking about 2) why would u say that 3) why are tbey on your mind right now

[spot-conlons-pimp-cane]

Too many people focas on Davey in this scene cuz he keeps playing like a dog or wtv, but lets appreciate ALBERT MOTHER FUCKING DASILVA

[spoon-fight]

i know i saw someone talk about race judging les’ dancing in king of new york on here but can we talk about how albert does the exact same thing

they are meant for each other (in whatever way you want to interpret)
