#jp ferreri

[someday-becomes-somehow]

I’m playing “spot JP Ferreri in Hairspray” and I forgot how young he is

[oliviaaaah]

Why yes I am obsessed with completely normal peopl-

[hellosammy19]

proof that they were casting younger and younger newsies since broadway

These are the ages of the obc members in 2012 and the tour members in 2016 (when they did the proshot)

Race - (OBC) R. Breslin 23 // 19 Ben. C (Proshot)

Finch - (OBC) Aaron 29 // 22 Iain (Proshot)

Mush - (OBC) Ephraim 27 // 20 Nick (Proshot)

Albert - (OBC) Garett 26 // 21 Sky (Proshot)

Jojo - (OBC) Thayne 30 // 21 Joshua. B (Proshot)

Elmer (OBC) Evan 25 // 19 A. Zas (Proshot)

the ones that are similar is the

Specs - (OBC) R. Steele 22 // 22 Jordan. S (Proshot)

Sniper - (OBC) Alex. W 26 // 26 Daniel Swizter (Proshot)

Tommy Boy - (OBC) Tommy 22 // 21 M. Dameski (Proshot)

Oscar Delancey (OBC) Brendon 25 // 24 A. Norman (Proshot)

the ones that are the opposite:

Morris Delancey - (OBC) Mike. F 20 // 23 Devin. L (Proshot)

(more severe)

Romeo - (OBC) Andy 17 // 27 Nico (Proshot)

Buttons - (OBC) Jess. L 20 // 28 Chaz (Proshot)

the one that I couldn't figure out:

Henry - (OBC) Kyle was 27 // but I couldn't for the life of me find Michael Rio's age

(Ignoring New- Newsies (roles created in the proshot that doesn't really have an equivalent in the OBC)

Mike and Ike - (OBC) Mike Faist and Brendon Stimson // Jacob and David Guzman (Proshot) (because it's just the Delanceys in the OBC and tour but its purpose changed only in proshot - being new newsies instead of just roles for the Delanceys to play when they're offstage)

(to add on to mike and ike - it's the same thing to tommy boy but I only did tommy boy because tommy was spot in the proshot and not tommy boy)

Smalls - (OBC) Laurie Veldheer // Julian DeGuzman (Proshot) THEY CHANGED THIS CHARACTER DRASTICALLY, they should have kept my girl Smalls and gave Julian another name cause wtf

these are the true new-newsie names that didn't exist in OBC

Kenny - Jack Sippel - (name inspired by Kenny Ortega)

Hot Shot - JP Ferreri

Vince / Myron - Stephen Hernandez

Kid Blink - Andy Richardson (92s name)

Willie / Bart - Andrew Wilson

NEWSIE OF THE DAY 5/16:

JP Ferreri

one of my favorites, just look at that smile!

Newsies Productions and Roles- Papermill Playhouse, Broadway, Tour, and Live!

Papermill Playhouse cast- “scab”, ensemble

Original Broadway cast- swing

Tour cast- swing

Live cast- Brooklyn boy (!!!)

Other Notable Credits- Hairspray (2007)

That’s right! JP was in the movie Hairspray! If you watch the movie closely, you’ll see (a rather young) JP dancing around on the Corny Collins show with a smile that spreads like butter

Relationship with Newsies Castmates

Since JP has been a part of practically all Newsies productions, he seems to know just about everyone and keep close relations to the OBC and Toursie casts alike

In his Instagram comments can be found multiple occurances of “OKAYNNJAYP” from some of his former Broadway castmates

Recently went on vacation to Hawaii with Ben Cook and Dan DeLuca

JP appears to joke around with his castmates often, specifically playfully ridiculing them. Please see video below for reference, AND THIS LINK to see JP roast many of our favorite Newsies-PLEASE WATCH IT YOU’LL LAUGH!!!

[someday-becomes-somehow]

I scrolled through the entirety of Iain’s instagram

OK I love this though
