Disney's NEWSIES on Broadway - Opening Night

Go behind the scenes of our Broadway opening night!
Now is the time to seize the day with NEWSIES, Disney's smash-hit New York musical.
Winner of the 2012 Tony Awards for Best Score and Best Choreography, NEWSIES has audiences and critics alike calling it, "AN EXHILARATING JOLT OF ENERGY!" (NY Daily News) This inspiring true story about a band of underdogs who stand up to the most powerful men in New York is high-energy explosion of song and dance. It's a TOP CRITICS' PICK (New York Magazine, Time Out New York, Entertainment Weekly) you just don't want to miss.
A record-breaking phenomenon, NEWSIES was brought to the stage by a winning creative team. Featuring a score by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman, choreography by Christopher Gattelli and a book by Harvey Fierstein, NEWSIES is directed by Jeff Calhoun.
NEWSIES North American tour begins fall 2014.

Bens face when he did the rap gives me everything I wanted

[@twicetism]

I need a montage of "Hi I'm Andrew Keenan-Bolger and I play Crutchie in Newsies"

[@SpeciallyShirly]

I saw one but they finished it with "and I play Jesse in Tuck Everlasting" and I have yet to recover

[@sketchers3115]

@@SpeciallyShirly wait where

[@SpeciallyShirly]

@@sketchers3115 To be honest I don't remember if it was Instagram or KZbin so I don't think I could find it sorry

[@sketchers3115]

I found it lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmGUmpWfiNuDic0

[@johannahdillahunty9899]

I don’t doubt there is one.

[@kailacrozier8395]

I'm crying. I'll miss Newsies.

[@sabrinar7481]

I'm watching this a year later and sobbing.

[@drtbyz83]

I’m so sad I never actually saw it I have only seen it on Netflix 😭😭😭😭

[@mimiandcheese1357]

drtbyz83 me too. I didn’t even know about it until after I saw it on Netflix. I’m so upset that I never got to see it live. Hopefully someday they’ll bring it back for a night or two like they did for the movie just so that some people can have the chance to see it live again.

[@jocelynbogart1587]

I not only miss the Broadway production, but I miss my production of it that closed 2 weeks ago :(

[@bedluvr1314]

THE KEENAN BOLGERS AWWWWW

[@Laurbar2000]

Is it strange to hyperventilate when you see the Keenan-Bolger siblings...? If yes... then I need help. If no... I still need help. I LOVE THE KEENAN-BOLGERS

[@ellerykaye445]

MIKE'S LITTLE SMILE AT 3:54 I CAN'T HE'S SO ADORABLE

[@sarahhalasz2258]

Watching them do their circle before the show gives me chills.

[@manuelorozco7760]

I just noticed Heather Headley in the circle

[@brittanybroquadio8846]

BEN IS ADORABLE

[@gardendotorg]

I watching this just imagining how amazing it would be to be there

[@julianasuarez7687]

They’re all so amazingly talented I wish I could have seen it while it was still on 😭 also Mike’s little “solo” moment gives me life 😂

[@sarahhalasz2258]

I love how the cast seems like a family, that's so sweet!

[@mimiandcheese1357]

I legit waited till the after they did the “For one” at the end before I paused even though nothing was happening just cause I love it so much

[@rainyday6512]

I’m putting that rap on repeat because that’s amazing Also for the memories because the show closed 😢

[@JujRosie]

It made me happy that all the Keenan-Bolgers were there!!!!!

[@dgcruz5053]

I may or may not have cried upon seeing the Keenan-Bolgers group hug.

[@manuelorozco7760]

I'm playfully jealous for how lucky they are to entertain the entire city of New York (exaggeration intended)! Newsies looks like an awesome show!

[@annleslie8614]

Okay but Mike at 3:52 is the cutest thing I have EVER seen!!!!

[@kasmiramcfeeters-rayburn8854]

let's play the game of who can spot mike faist the most

[@bellabennett1677]

Kasmira McFeeters-Rayburn i was actually thinking that

[@mayakaitlyn5074]

Kasmira McFeeters-Rayburn I spotted him 5 times i love Mike

[@limecable1278]

0:35 "Knock'em dead can't wait to see you all - Christian Borle" Imagine reading this at your opening night holy.

[@gabishow2430]

When I went to NYC in June 2014 I stay 12 days and I watched 8 shows and the best was newsies,and my mother ask why?and I said to here that the boys are very cute and talented😍

[@baileybieganek2446]

You got that right!

[@manuelorozco7760]

What were the other 7 shows you saw?

[@marylickona6322]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO!! I didn't know Ben Fankenhauser made his debut with Newsies!! YOU GO BEN!! Also, the reactions to the rap were AMAZING. Also also the Keenan-Bolgers were soooooo sweet!!!!

[@entertainmentstarz1]

I wish I have seen Newsies on Broadway opening night. If I can go back in time I would save a lot of money to travel to New York and the first thing I'll do there is to watch Newsies and hopefully meet the cast.

[@manuelorozco7760]

entertainmentstarz1 That would be so cool

[@drtbyz83]

Me too 😭😭😭 I’m so sad there not on broadway anymore I never got to see it😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@_the_]

@@drtbyz83 There is a stage recording on Disney+, so you can still watch it

[@princepeterwolf]

I've never seen so much love into one production. All the cast and the production crew is so amazing and they are all friends, that's so phenomenal these days, and in these bussiness even more. I think it's one of a kind experience for them all and it's making me believe in theater again!

[@boboonnoo2357]

im just at home, eating spicy cheap ramen, watching this, WISHING I COULD BE THERE.
