my roman empire is bobbie chambers saying hannah is kathy's mum. I think about it daily What The Fuck.

but what if hannah's surname is plumber and that's why katherine uses it as her byline- to reject the emotionally unavailable father who disowned her and honour the mother who was prevented from ever loving her like a parent should have the opportunity to

So, you think Newsies Jr. is a watered-down cash grab? I just finished reading the script (so you wouldn't have to!) and the differences are surprisingly rad:

-There are multiple canonical girl characters in the Manhattan newsies ensemble. Two of them back up Katherine and make Jack agree to give her an exclusive.

-Crutchie is badass and gets more to do. They menace the Delanceys with their own crutch instead of Jack doing it on their behalf, and instead of being "too slow," they get arrested while covering for Jack and encouraging him to run! (I have been wondering for a while whether the fight scene could be staged this way/wanting to write fix-it fic about it.)

-Btw I say "they" because Crutchie is never referred to by any gendered words in the script. They even cut the "your brother" tearjerker. Crutchie's canonical real name is the gender neutral Casey and the stage directions and casting breakdown use they/them.

-Same goes for Les, referred to in stage directions as "David's younger sibling."

Medda's song "That's Rich" " got removed and replaced by a feminist anthem.

-Spot, hyped as the toughest newsie in all five boroughs, is explicitly a girl. Everyone shrinks in fear when she turns up. (Is this where uksies got the idea?)

-Darcy got replaced by Dorothy.

Hannah is the one who has the idea to give Jack a job drawing cartoons. And Katherine negotiates double pay for him!

-No slurs -- not even from the Delanceys while they mock Crutchie, and def not from bff Jack.

-No "Something to Believe In"; no kiss, shifting the emphasis of the story away from hetero romance to a celebration of the strike and friendship.

I feel like Disney is kind of telling on themselves by making the play less sexist and ableist ONLY in the version for young audiences ...

hannah: so, how did you and davey meet?

katherine: oh, no. no, no, no. no, no, no, no, no. no, no, no, no...no. davey and i are not together. no, no.

davey: sixteen no's? really?

newsies vs. newsies jr.

i was recently in a production of newsies jr. and i had four roles bc there were ten kids total in our cast.

i personally played hannah, darcy, pigtails, and dorothy. now you might notice something about the last two-they are not in the broadway production. dorothy takes place of darcy in once and for all, and darcy is katherine’s photographer instead. hannah is mostly the same, except the bottom line doesnt exist in newsies jr. for some reason (probably to reduce run time-my production had no intermission.)

now pigtails is a newsie. she takes some of albert’s lines and a few others i believe. they are still their own characters, she just has a few of their lines.

for example, in king of new york, she is the one to provoke race to sing, in these lines:

“Look at me, I’m famous!” -Race

“How much does being famous pay?” -Pigtails

“You don’t need money when you’re famous. They gives you whatever you want, gratis!” -Race

“Such as?”

and then so forth. pigtails also sings the “Pastramini on rye with a sour pickle,” line in king of new york.

so yeah idk why im saying this

also ive recently found out that my production of newsies jr is a lot different than most productions-apparently most productions combine santa fe and letter to the refuge? and santa fe doesn’t have the end note? (our end note was optional in santa fe, but our jack did it anyways)

I feel like Hannah’s overrated, like I love her personality and all, but I still don’t really like her too much, I don’t see why people like her so much

[wekiaam]

Going off of the person who sent the Delancey ask, do you have any designs for Hannah? I LOVE your animated newsies drawings!!!

Thank you so much <33!!! Here are a few sketches I made of Pulitzer's staff!
