#jeremy jordan songs are so satisfying to sing now

[anachronic-cobra]

I finally worked out singing from the diaphragm amd a whole new fucking world has opened to me

[dontrunintofire]

Things that make me roll over and sob or scream at the top of my lungs in Newsies: the Broadway Musical, a novel by me...

Katherine nervously touching her face at least five times during any interation with jack. Does anyone else feel and relate to the awkwardness this girl has?

After Katherine says “you’re gonna make the front page” I swear Davey and Crutchie grab hands or have I lost my mind? That is the most precious thing ever.

Honestly if you think about it Davey and Crutchie have very minimal interactions but when they do it’s the purest and softest thing ever like my heart is in pieces

Les looking at Katherine worridly after Jack talks about Crutchie being beaten and Katherine comforting him.

Davey and Katherine being besties:

Davey going over to Katherine and Les to watch the newsies tap dance

Davey encouraging Katherine to try to tap dance herself

“That’s it?” Said by Davey when Katherine awkwardly tap dances

Then “Come on, Katherine!” When my girl starts to get into it he’s so proud (EDIT: did Davey say that? I sounds like him SO MUCH but I went back and watched it and his mouth wasn’t moving. Then who said it?? For some reason it’s really bugging me and I need to know)

Also lest we forget that while everyone hyped up themselves during KONY, Davey proceeds to hype of Katherine instead of saying what he wanted. David Jacobs is a national treasure

The older-brother-older-sister look they give each other when Les talks about his date. They may have cut out Sarah, but Katherine is still their sister

During “watch what happens (reprise)” it zooms in on Jack but when it zooms out you can briefly see Davey having one hand on Katherine’s arm and the other on her back and it’s so adorable

“And stay on track” yep they both be on the same page

In conclusion, they’re besties fight me

On another note, all the newsies plus Katherine looking for Jack during act 2 is something I didn’t notice until the 3rd watch but omg I love that they care

The guy going after Davey with a bat and Jack bolting in that direction even in the middle of his own fight

Okay but the fact that Davey was trying to get to his LITTLE BROTHER when the cop grabbed him and slapped him across the face is not okay and never will be

Omg the look on Jack’s face when pulitzer threatens to lock up Davey in the refuge like the intense PAIN and CONFLICT that is displayed on his face in 0.2 seconds excuse me now I’m gonna go cry goodbye

Now listen to this and get ready to sob when you picture the look of betrayal on davey’s face when he sees jack accept the money at the rally and then slowly back away as jack hesitantly calls out to him and have a very pleasant evening

Anytime Jack says something factually incorrect, but he’s completely serious. Like it makes me question whether the writers found it funny, or if they just thought it sounded good in the songs but there’s surprising a lot of things that Jack says that just don’t make any sense at all

Okay is it just me or is anyone else just in LOVE with Race’s voice? Like not just his singing voice but his talking too. It’s so cute and oddly satisfying don’t ask me to explain I will not be able to

The entirety of Santa Fe, but especially the bridge. Oh my God the bridge I just can’t with Jeremy Jordan. “Why should you spend your whole life living...” and he reaches out with his hand and I can feel the frustration he has or really any hand gesture he makes in that song is so painfully relatable just UGHHHH

(That’s probably not everything but it’s just what was off the top of my head. Like and reblog for a part 2)

Your favorite moments???⬇️⬇️

Alright, also as promised, here's my write up of my reaction to the flash/supergirl musical crossover. Basically, the episode was all sorts of awesome. Pretty much my favorite part of course was Darren Criss since I've been a Darren Criss fangirl since May of 2009 when the original HP: The Musical videos got put on YouTube and went viral. The singing all around was excellent, they obviously have an advantage over most tv musical episodes because they actually have a ton of super talented singers. They were wise to use some pre-existing songs too, songs written for plot in a tv episode can be not great generally, but they managed to do an excellent job with their original songs as well. If you've watched any of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (and if you haven't you should go do that immediately because its fantastic) you know Rachel Bloom is a fucking fantastic songwriter, and Super Friend definitely did not disappoint. I have to say though, Running Home to You was definitely my favorite song of the night. Such a perfect WestAllen moment and almost makes up for all the shittiness they got from the last few episodes with the fake proposal and Barry's stupid break up. So I was very satisfied with that. As soon as Jeremy Jordan opened his mouth to sing I was like AHHHHHH YESSSS because he's so amazing I can't even get past it. He's great. The highlight vocally though, I have to say, was More I Cannot Wish You because Jesse L. Martin, Victor Garber, and John Barrowman are fucking Broadway legends and the 3 of them together were simply perfection. All of their voices were absolutely perfect for the song, they did so great. Jesse L. Martin needs to sing more because his voice is simply amazing. Some guy replied to me on Twitter saying he saw Victor Garber on Broadway in Damn Yankees in 1993 as the devil and I was obviously 1 when that was happening but holy shit I would pay so much money to have seen him as the devil because I know he would be so fucking great. So basically I have almost all good things to say about the episode. One criticism I will say is that music meister's plot outside the real world didn't exactly make much sense. Like, he's stealing their powers and going to rob a bank, but then that plot just completely disappears and he was just trying to teach them a lesson?? Lol, not very sensical but at least Darren played the part to perfection, even if he didn't resemble the comic version pretty much at all. I also feel obligated to complain about Meh-El's presence because he didn't add really anything to the plot (although the fact that he was supposed to be Malcolm's son and his name was Tommy made me scream a little) and the fact that Kara just forgives him at the end was like.....ugh. I mean I knew their break up wasn't permanent, but I didn't expect it to be resolved in like, 24 hours (though I have no complaints over WestAllen being resolved so quickly). And her reasoning was fucking stupid. Like the reason she broke up with him wasn't because she couldn't put herself in his situation, it was that he continued to lie to her for months on end for no explainable reason, like he had ample opportunity to tell her and he just didn't. So that bugged me, but I'm still hoping Meh-El's character gets written off in the season finale like I think he will (I don't even care if he goes out like a hero, as long as he goes). But yeah, overall I was very pleased with it and I think they did an excellent job with it. Good job CW. I did feel bad for Danielle Panabaker though because if anyone's been paying attention for long enough they know she can sing too, but got totally sidelined here- like she made it into the episode but didn't get to sing, so that's gotta suck. I mean I know they established in the karaoke episode Caitlin supposedly can't sing but I mean, it was a dream world they could've gotten away with it if they wanted to. I hope they do more of these in the future though, and that we can get more of the Legends cast involved. I would pretty much kill to get Caity Lotz to sing on one of them since we KNOW she can sing, but I also know she does not want to at all haha as she said in one of her Facebook live's a while back, she insists she's not really that good but I mean, she was in a fucking girls group, even one of the weaker members as she claims to be can sing pretty damn good. Alright, I think I'm done now. Hope you enjoyed this lengthy reaction post of my thoughts.
