Don’t flame me for this but I prefer the broadway version of newsies over the movie by a landslide. I didn’t even know that there was a movie until last year and I didn’t watch it until January of this year. I’m honestly surprised that I didn’t know about it because I “grew up” with newsies, but that was the broadway version and my mom has said she didn’t really love the movie.
That being said I do love the movie and all the characters but the broadway version just holds a special place in my heart. I will always be talking about the broadway version when I talk about newsies.
Do you ever think Davey gets annoyed with the boys’ singing and dancing musical numbers???
Jack: PULITZER ANDD HEARST THEY THINK WERE NOTHIN’ — ARE WE NOTHIN’?!?!!!
Newsies: NOOOOOO!!!!!
Davey: Seriously guys, I’m organizing a union not a theater troupe!!!!!
Newsies AU/bad trailer
Davey: Now is the time to seize the day
Jack: I’d rather tell you what I’m hoping for tonight *wink wink*
Hey, @just-too-slow and I started a Newsies account on Instagram! Go follow us @ newsies_of_new_york!!
Anyone else up for playing this?
MONOPOLY ~Newsies Broadway Edition!
Game pieces >
Hat - Les
Art palette - Jack kelly
Newsies sash - Davey jacobs
Type writter - Katherine
Cigar - Racetrack
Crutch - Crutchie
Feather fan - Bowurey beauty's
Glass of seltzer - Albert
Instead of Monopoly money they have to use coins
Instead of community chest it would be Headline board
If you land on go to jail it would be called Get sent to the refuge by snyder
If you have the crutch you have to stay in jail intell there are only 2 people left in the game 3 if you count the person who just got back in the game, but you have to pay 60 cents since your safe.
Free parking space would be changed to Get away from the bulls
Just visiting will be changed to Helping escape the refuge and if you choose to help someone escape you would have to either role doubles or pay 60 cents to get them out of the refuge.
Also one of the fun cards would be called "Startin a strike" you would have to throw the coins in the air from the bank and try to get more money
The middle of the board is newsies square
Some of the properties would be,
Santa fe
(Basically all of the places in New York that had newsies)
And medda's theater
And more places from the show
If you get passed go you get 200 and it'll be known as "Carryin' the banner"
There will be a couple spots on the board where you get into trouble with the dalanceys. You have to pick one other person to roll one dice and if you roll higher then them your safe but if they roll higher then you you loose 50 cents. But if you get a tie you both pay 25.
If you loose it's not bankruptcy... It's loosin' the strike
Also whoever wins the game is "The King of new york"
Thank you for listening to my Ted talk.
(The broadway Edition!!)
54 below performances give me more serotonin than anything else in my life rn and I feel like that is telling something about myself that I don't want to know
