Favorite / Least Favorite Les From Newsies

I've been wondering a lot about different people's opinions on the Les'

Personally, I think Ethan Steiner is a little too overrated and they have done him dirty in the movie lol. I'm not saying he's horrible, he is a good Les, just not my favorite.

I have two favorites. Jonathan Fenton and John Michael Pitera. They are SOOOO underrated. They both should have had longer stints on the tour.

So this performance features members of the current Broadway/National Tour casts of The Lion King, Aladdin, and Frozen, the cast of Hercules that is headed to Germany next year for what I suspect could possibly end up being a pre-Broadway run, and the American casts of Newsies, who have not performed since the national tour ended 7 years ago?

I'm tempted to say this means Disney is plotting something, but I don't want to get my hopes up for what could just be a fun tribute and nothing more.

[noxexistant]

hiii nox i love ur headcanons of the delanceys and i would love to hear their obscure sources!! it sounded rlly interesting ^__^

[visibly vibrating] hi yes i would love to do that please let me do that, thank you so much for asking

the delanceys were raised catholic

in uksies, tommy boy is catholic (or some brand of christian) and has a cross necklace he wears - when he scabs and is interacting with the delanceys, morris holds the cross pendant on his necklace and prays with/over him in the background of that scene, in a subtle silent exchange. it's easy to read as a manipulation tactic to keep tommy as a scab - and, well, it is - but morris seems to pray very naturally and sincerely, and interacts very carefully/reverently with the necklace.

we also know the boys were raised on a farm, which combines well with the idea of being raised catholic.

morris has blue-brown heterochromia

mike faist, who originated morris' role, has blue-brown heterochromia! specifically sectoral heterochromia. his eyes are mostly blue, with one having a small section of brown, so i reflect that in my morris design.

the delanceys' father was abusive

the "guess he didn't take care of me" exchange. we find out that the delanceys beat the shit out of their father for a paycheck, and oscar talks about him with pure contempt. notably, the newsies also seem to know about the delanceys' father, enough to identify him. we're also told in morris' broadway trading card that he was abandoned by his parents, which isn't exactly top-tier parenting. leading into:

the delanceys' mother is dead

she isn't mentioned at all in the show, and is clearly also out of the picture. alex prakken, who played oscar delancey in the national tour and has one of the more complete backstories for the brothers that he's shared, calls oscar and morris "orphans" - which lends itself well to the idea that one parent is dead and the other abandoned them, in order to make both backstories (the trading card's and alex prakken/devin lewis') correct.

the delanceys were raised in the refuge

this is anthony norman's backstory for the boys! he played oscar in the national tour after alex prakken, and also played him in livesies.

i also combine this too with the trading card backstory that they worked on a family farm and were then abandoned - it makes perfect sense that, upon being abandoned, they'd end up in the refuge.

morris is autistic

this one is a little more nuanced, but it's a headcanon i've held for years and hold very close to my heart. it's more in how he's played than the writing of the show, but it's also in details i've noticed across actors, from mike faist to devin lewis to george crawford (my beloved). morris is played by all of them as quiet and overly-aggressive and restless, he has no patience and is incredibly quick to anger, he has no sense of self-preservation or danger, he is Constantly stimming. in uksies especially, he is constantly playing with his fingers, climbing the railings above the main stage and dangling from them (while oscar looks on with distinct concern), and he always seems a touch disconnected from the world around him. we're told by various sources, including oscar's trading card, that he's stupid and prefers to engage with physicality - doesn't seem to understand or engage well with jokes or sarcasm or mockery. in livesies, he is constantly pain-stimming/self-harming by punching hard objects - and also does so in uksies when he gets angry, including lashing out blindly at oscar and then appearing guilty about it.

altogether, he just exhibits a lot of classic autistic traits and symptoms, and seems to engage with the world in a very autistic way.

oscar has dyscalculia

"oscar can't count to twenty with his shoes on."

i THINK. that is all of my major headcanons with canon roots but if there's any more that anyone is curious about, please absolutely ask i love waffling about the delanceys <333 and thank u so so much for asking about these this was so fun!! i have been wanting an opportunity to do this forever

SAW THE MUSICAL: THE UNAUTHORIZED PARODY OF SAW Extends Off-Broadway and Announces National Tour.

It will also kick off a national tour in LA with a six-week run beginning Feb 29 at the Hudson Theatres Mainstage (6539 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90038 in Hollywood) SAW The Musical: The Unauthorized Parody began performances Off-Broadway on Sept 16, 2023, with its New York Opening Night on Sunday, Oct 1, 2023, and was called "Hilariously Absurd" by NPR. The run is extended through Jun 23, 2024, in Midtown's Theater District.

Danny Durr as Gordon and Jill Owen

One of the most thought-provoking horror films of all time now is…a musical. SAW The Musical hilariously captures the events of the first movie, parodying the Saw that started it all, following from where Lawrence Gordon and Adam Stanheight find each other for the first time in the bathroom trap. Will they follow "the rules" as they discover each other's secrets? Will they escape the game in time and saw right through? A love story with fluidity (and lots more fluids), SAW The Musical: The Unauthorized Parody of Saw is Little Shop of Horrors meets Avenue Q, pushing the boundary on sexuality and how to love.

Now is the perfect time to laugh at the macabre as we blend horror and hair-raising laughter, creating a unique musical experience that's both hilarious and thrilling.

Delancey Backstories from Stage Actors

Okay, so there's a few things - I'll put them in order of date said. This is for an objective look.

Trading Cards - OBC Delanceys Mike and Brendon's backstories (this is the only pair of Delanceys that outwardly said Wiesel was their uncle)

2. Mike Faist saying that deep down Morris is a nice guy in his interview video filmed by Andrew

3. Anthony Norman saying in an article that his Oscar grew up in the refuge -https://www.broadwayworld.com/chicago/article/BWW-Interview-Chicago-Native-Anthony-Norman-Discusses-Life-on-NEWSIES-National-Tour-20160725

4. Alex Prakken saying on his Newsies Rally's QnA session

(he says that each pair of Delanceys have their own interpretations)

(his working understanding is that Delanceys used to be newsies but turned to working for Wiesel and the brother's relationship with the newsies bitter because of it- they're just kids that were just in a bad situation)

5. Uksies - Alex and George saying that Oscar was older than Morris

(if there's something I missed, please reply to the post with a source)

(I thought it was about time to do a resource post because our resources are scarce and we can't leave anything behind)
