Albert: ‘They’ll never find the body’ is such a boring threat, a better threat would be ‘they’ll never stop finding the body’

Crutchie, bored: Or just say ‘they’ll be finding parts of you for at least 4 months, and you’ll still be alive for 3 of them’

Race: Now that’s a threat!

Davey, covering Les’s ears: *horrified silence*

YALL it is shocking how alive the Newsies fandom is even today like it's crazy there are so many of y'all

(Edit- the fact that there are 42 notes on this post and I put it up a few hours ago is proving my point)

I think newsies would’ve been really fun if in King of New York, the song was less full because a lot of the kids got put in the refuge or were too injured to sing.. y’know.. cause the cops busted them up.

[enter-drfrog]

One thing I’ve learned through my years of consuming live theatre and bootlegs of live theatre is that you can almost always tell when someone used to be a Newsie.

They always have this like indescribable quality about how they move even compared to other incredibly well trained dancers. I think it’s just because Newsies is such an insane, other level caliber of dance that it just brings them to another quality of movement.

I don’t know how to describe it. I just know that whenever I watch something the Newsie always stands out.

@blurglesmurfklaine - Spiderman!Davey Fic!

In which Davey is Spiderman and he goes through what all Spidermen do, isolation from friends. But, of course, Jack and the rest of the kids, doesn't let that happen.

Did a comic because Spiderman.... (surprisingly, this is the first time I've drawn ANY Spiderman and it's David, it's fitting)

Javey are SO New York I love them

@newsiesminibang24 May 6th!

" Don't ya know that we's a family? Would I let ya down? No way.

.. Just hold on, kid, till that train makes Santa Fe.... "

Finally finished my fanart for @allyheart707's Little Subjects!!

If you don't recognize the lyrics, they're from the Broadway play 'Newsies.' :) The song is about the hopeful dream of two young newsboys to someday go to the glorified town of Santa Fe, and escape all of their woes and lack of freedom. Soooooooo you can see why I picked it for my fanart of Ally's au. ;)

( I actually originally had the plan for Mikey and Donnie to be taking the place of Annie, from the 1982 film, but decided that the song from Newsies would fit better. :) The building where Mikey and Donnie are staying, is what the orphanage looked like that inspired the story of Annie! )

Anyways, I hope you like it, my friend!!! :) And I hope you're feeling better today!! Praying for you! <3

Two down.... four to go.. but first- Imma take a break cause I can just FEEL the carpal tunnel crawling up my fingers and wrist XD

Newsies of the Seven Seas

(Jack is standing at the helm/wheel of the ship and Specs is climbing up the rigging so he can be a lookout) Jack: "Specs! Ya see anything?" Specs: "I don't know. I can't get into the crow's nest." Jack: "Why not?" Finch: "JACK. THERE'S A PIRATE SHIP COMING." Jack: "What's he doing up there?" Specs: "I wouldn't begin to know." Finch: "It's how I get a bird's eye view." Specs: sighs "Now ya see why he's in the crow's nest."

SPREAD. THE. WORD.

[military-newsboys]

Jack: That building is, like, 5 Davey away and we're at least 14 Davey high. Davey: Please don't use me as a system of measurement.

Actual goddamn things people said/did during my school’s production of Newsies

Stage crew writes “troll strike” instead of “trolley strike”

Ensemble: “Every small child is going to think you’re an evil old man.” Pulitzer: “Well maybe I am”

“See kid? Women have legs too!”

“Romeo we can see you dancing backstage”

The villains and Theodore Roosevelt dancing

Davey: “This day will go down in PISSTOR- I MEAN HISTORY”

“If I drop my cello, PLEASE kill me.”

*holding glass upside down* “TEN CENTS FOR A GLASS OF SELTZER??!”

Davey: *Points at painting of Santa Fe* “Is this Arizona?”

Davey and Spot Collin keep shaking hands and then pretending to kiss

PULITZER KEPT ALMOST FALLING OFF THE STAGE

*backstage* “Uhmmm…why is there a box of dog food here?”

Jack: “You got a name, Katherine?”

Katherine: “Just think, while my father is…slipping??…we’ll be…taking him down!!” (She was great I wish I got to know her better before she graduated)

Spot was Pulitzer’s backup so when Pulitzer was sick the final confrontation scene was…interesting.

“OH I get fishnets :)”

Katherine: “And if I was a boy, I’d be…looking at you through one swollen eye!!” (It’s supposed to be “you’d be looking at me”)

Nun: *running around backstage* “I’m a nun on the run”

“I just don’t think committing suicide would be very fun y’know?”

“YOU CAN’T JUST PUT FIRE ON THE FLOOR!”

*Ensemble Newsie falls over* Weasel: “…Guess I have to” *pretends to kick them*

Jack drops all of his coins everywhere all over the stage

Jack: “You bet! Me n’ the boys will take a Journal over to the hike!”

Jacoby: (to a Newsie) “Don’t swing that aroun-“ *Does exactly that and spills a glass of water* “Oops.”

Davey: “Inspirational Speech time guys”

Les: “Are you kiddin’? She got no legs on!”

Pulitzer: “An escaped thief and petty…thief.”

AT THE END OF THE SHOW THE SENIORS GAVE THE BAND TEACHER A PINEAPPLE???
