My one thought while watching: So Many Newsies

[@gracewood9332]

When I first watched newsies on Netflix (since I go to an all girl school) So Many Men

[@ivanthevaluable2559]

How many Newsies do they need just to spread the word? Extra, Extra! Newsies Overload!

[@kivrinsagchannel791]

I was thinking so many cute boys

[@mirandasaborio7298]

I bet Newsies in the crowd were halfway across the park and heard this and started sprinting to see this. 😂😂

[@clairebear-723]

The Mango ok actually me, I dragged my mom over tbh

[@matthewlovepokemon646]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

[@jcnnygarcia]

Ya know, they Disney should do this more often

[@odd-ysseusdoesstuff6347]

Totally! I want to see this live!

[@ebale1651]

I would of LOVED to be there to see this live. Would of been hard not to join in.

[@TheHunterbear]

I was walking into the magic kingdom the exact moment they were filming the part in front of the train station. It's kinda weird to watch it now for some reason.

[@nerdgeekcosplay909]

Last time I went my theatre butt started singing this...Theatre kid for life

[@curtisnunez8775]

Yea

[@tarynwyss1635]

its over 3 years later and im still watching this

[@manuelorozco7760]

I haven't seen this performance since I DVRD the parade four years ago. I'm watching it again because the show will be filmed LIVE on 9/11 at the Hollywood Pantages featuring some of the original Broadway cast members.

[@isabelladippel9649]

It’s 2018 now and yet here I am

2020 still here

[@nickbeast257]

2:19 Corey loves being on the fire truck

[@brittanybroquadio8846]

Corey loves his Fire truck, and no one can get him off.

[@hoodietheproxy8575]

@@brittanybroquadio8846 Yep We should probably be worried but hey he's happy

[@maevemorrissey7175]

Ryan steeles smile at the start makes this whole thing for me

[@manuelorozco7760]

I might go see him in An American in Paris next month in Costa Mesa. I saw Ryan in Peter Pan Live where he played the Lost Boys alongside his fellow Newsies.

[@grangerdisney4290]

I saw him in American in Paris and oh my was he amazing.

[@manuelorozco7760]

I'll say he was amazing. In fact as amazing as the show itself actually was. An American in Paris is no Newsies but it was simply spectacular.

[@grangerdisney4290]

I completely agree. An American in Paris is a beautiful show with (and I say this as a dancer) some gorgeous dancing, but nothing beats Newsies.

[@johnyvanrhedcastro2203]

And at the end Disneyland just exploded from sheer awesomeness

[@gracewood9332]

Me in the beginning :oh this is nice ooh Corey Kelly. Me when more newsies show up :WHY ARE THERE SO MANY (I mean who's complaining)

[@JoshFreilich]

I also like how they used the Main Street Dancers as bystanders for this!

[@KillJoy_Since2017]

i love how all of them like 100 of them are dancing

[@hannahlane462]

Everyone: How Many Newsies Do You Want Disney: Yes

[@thebrookie9]

seriously. and it never gets old.

[@ArtsyFartsy016]

thebrookie9 right!!

[@nadismolina]

NEVER

[@xgleekablex]

Can I clarify that I wasn't the only one who cried of joy? These boys are just amazing.

[@ArtsyFartsy016]

Jeremy Jordan deserves the front of the HUGE group of newsies

[@devinhairston1548]

fundez 101 YES but he was jack kelly for the encore show last year

[@goodjobeli]

He left before this was filmed

[@josephpolizzi_5759]

Jeremy jordon left the show in September of 2012 while this was filmed in December of 2012.Corey cott had already replaced him

[@Pooleman96]

Ok, I'm gonna be honest and say that this is something I always dreamed and wished would happen ever since I fell in love with Newsies at age 15. SO glad all that wishing and dreaming paid off!

[@reillyproductions]

This is a long time Newsies fan's dream come true. Performing AT a Disney park in front of Magic Kingdom with the pyro and all. It's amazing. Wow. Just wow.

[@paolomontalto950]

If I were the composer I'd be like "Holy shit I'm a genius"

[@hannahlane462]

Everyone: Can We Have A Newsies Parade Disney: Yea Sure Also Disney: COMPOSER DUDE Composer Dude: What I Retired 1 Year Ago You Know That Disney: Can You Make A Soundtrack For A Newsies Parade Composer Dude: Disney: Not A Full Parade But Good Enough

[@Blackwoodrulez]

Love love love love love love love love love love love

[@Blackwoodrulez]

Holy crap, William Shakespeare liked my post XD

[@PhoenixTear9]

You have no idea how much I was fangirling this past saturday when I was in the train station. I was down in disney with my school (I'm in chours and we preformed along with the rest of our music department) and it was late so me and my friends took the train from the other side of the park (by Dumbo) and watched the electial parade and fireworks from the train station. I was humming this the whole time.

[@juliesmith3144]

I remember being in the spot at Disney World 5 years ago and I swear I almost wanted to break into the dance but it would be awesome!

[@icesk8mike]

after that performance they went to enjoy all the rides at Magic kingdom

[@manuelorozco7760]

How this performance was staged looks totally awesome especially the ending with more Newsies!

[@dumboforever141]

I want a Newsie.

[@kayla-yi5xh]

Cecilia Moore there’s enough for everyone.

[@unicorngirl2221]

Cecilia Moore let's be honest , everyone wants a Newsie 😂

[@gracewood9332]

SAME

[@isabelladippel9649]

I don’t know if it’s possible to love a group of people this much

[@Blackwoodrulez]

"How bout a crooked politician?" "That ain't news no more" Yuuuuup

[@80MWH]

Almost wish they had a spider-cam set up for that number down Main Street with the extras. Would have been great to have the camera pull back from the castle, and end on Jack and the guys in front at the end.

[@geekyfangirl2951]

I haven’t seen this since it aired it brings back memories

[@brookeranson]

I've watched this 27,000 times

[@marinaroe9639]

This is literally my dream: So many newsies

[@jordanez6441]

Could you just throw on a hat and join them? I feel like I could pull it off

[@rocknroll20024]

i love corey when he smiles and this is just amazing

[@7JesusLuvr]

help! i've fangirled and can't get up! ;)

[@dannysimion]

Love the soundtrack to this play. Great high energy track this one is especially amidst the Disney parade. I wanna see!

[@TamtothePax]

I would love to see a Newsies show at one of the parks!

[@orielhull6968]

wow! i don't have a shred of talent!

[@marcellaprice90]

fat mood sis

[@sugarberry2798]

Broadway cast will always be the best though...

[@twscold9476]

this is the broadway cast.....

[@Emma314]

You might be confused because Jeremy Jordan isn’t there but Corey cott replaced him on broadway

[@asznballa10]

I saw Cott on Broadway and actually thought he was better the Jordan. Just my opinion. Loved both of them, though.

[@maxpearson2900]

asznballa10 shut up. Jeremy is better 😢

[@joobzilla]

ButterThanYou 78 ever hear of opinions

[@abbygreer4982]

I loved this performance!

[@sophiajohnson4563]

its been 7 years and im still watching this

[@Epsilon3Smurk]

I watched it live, It was AWESOME!!

[@beccaiskenough17]

Corey is good but I like Jeremy better! My opinion---no hate.

[@devinhairston1548]

Rebecca Watson Jeremy is soo much better

[@somerandomnothings]

Same but I love Corey too

[@MidnightViolex]

I SO agree I loved Jeremy Jordan. He sang better, he danced better, and he did the back-then newsie accent better

[@jordynf.2472]

Jeremy is better

[@matthewlovepokemon646]

Same here

[@KevinBiedrzycki1]

This was the performance that made me wanna see the show. And I got to see it 3 days ago. Amazing cast,crew,music,and overall dancing. This show is perfection in itself.

[@mee5780]

That was magical 🤩

[@AmandasArtChannel]

They have to put this show on DVD!

[@manuelorozco7760]

Did you see the recent Fathom Events presentation? I did and I loved it

[@sparklespark]

They did for a limited time

[@Ocurz531]

That's Jess LeProtto. He was on So You Think You Can Dance (Season 8) and plays the character Buttons in Newsies. =)

[@valeriagrandallerena548]

I really in love with Jess LeProtto ❤️

[@maryannkoretoff1023]

Guys, WHY HAVE WE BEEN WAITING WHERE IS STRIKE? WE WANT OUR BOYS BACK! STRIKE!

[@corkfork8780]

Broadway Dreamer PETITION FOR THE BOYS TO COME BACK !!

[@juansediez10]

[@lynettebr]

157juanse well duh

[@emmadelucia6113]

157juanse they actually film in November. I was in another part of the parade that was filmed the same day as this one. We were right behind the newsies group

[@kiranakepakisan3260]

There's so many of them, howwwww 😂

[@zoesanders3636]

this gave me so many chills

[@devanrachel3085]

This is so awesome. Their dance moves. Disney. Newsies. 😍

[@elsawang8083]

It's so good 😊

[@annakremras]

when they started stepping i could feel my soul ascending into the fourth dimension

[@elrose3223]

I actually saw this live. I asked my mom to fly me out to see this

[@chubecca88]

Loved every second of this performance. =p

[@sketchers3115]

I was wondering why are they performing at Disney but then I realised newsies is by disney

[@StitchesWilde]

I saw Newsies performed live at a theater in Costa Mesa, CA several years ago. It's one of my top 10 favorite musicals of all time and I would LOVE to see it again

[@chelseacooley2432]

I can't wait there going to preform again at this years parade and I'm going to record it from my tv onto my iPad

[@KateMac113]

Speechless. Just speechless. :)

[@EmmaaWelzz919]

[@HikingDogsElementLover]

Best part of my Christmas :D

[@notyourfaves9471]

Miss them sm

[@Sutton_Dale]

this used to make me cry bc no more Newsies but now I'm crying even more bc no more Disney 😭😭

[@chb03]

Got me bawling over here! Disney simply does not do things such as this anymore!

[@chelseacooley2432]

I hope they have newsies the play proformi at this years parade I loved the play and I really want to see it again

[@emmadelucia6113]

I was in the Brave parade that was filmed in the same day, and I knew people in this part of the parade as well.

[@josephinezeringue5400]

I don't know why Ryan feels the need to be so tall like dude ll the other newsies are over here being a good height and he's just so tall

[@averyanne4027]

Imagine being this talented

[@raphaelinsigne726]

HUHUHUHUHUHU I GOT SO MANY GOOSEBUMPS

I love Walt Disney world in Florida

[@Singingonastar]

Love this!

[@JessicaJunqua]

Jess LeProtto ❤

[@molliuspontmercy]

I was there end of October to start of November that year, I was 6 and am now upset that I didn't get to see this and missed it by just over a month 😂

[@corvus1374]

Jess LeProtto and Alex freakin' Wong were both on So You Think You Can Dance. Alex would have won it, if he hadn't damaged his leg *twice*. So was Evan Kasprzak, but he wasn't in this.

[@manuelorozco7760]

corvus13 I remember Jess from the show too. Two months ago i saw him play Barnaby in Hello Dolly!

[@WorldWalker128]

I remember the first time I watched the movie-version of this. Ah, the Nostalgia....

[@manuelorozco7760]

I haven't seen the movie before but I'm excited to see the filmed live performance in movie theatres this month.

[@n.nguyen5292]

OMG i saw the filmed version and it's AMAZING. I saw it live too and the film version is almost as good! I refuse to watch the movie...

[@manuelorozco7760]

***** I just saw the filmed version too yesterday and I agree

[@Diamondelight92]

0:19. Ryan Steele. A god among men.

[@jordan12fication]

I need to see this show and the movie but I live nowhere near New York for the broadway show :(

[@ArtsyFartsy016]

Jordan Davidson same

[@chb03]

It’s on Netflix now!!

[@nickjohnson4874]

Cool

[@edsondobomfim7pr]

[@itsasmallworldtake3gamepla63]

I don't know why in the City Hall number the flagpole from Town Square is right next door to the City Hall area like is that the alternate place if the flagpole is not until Square or that's for that number only

[@oxoxkatiebugxoxo]

my baaaaaabiiiiieeeeeeeeeessss.

[@andreapurser9250]

I miss Christian Bale as Jack Kelly. Now he's all grown up.

[@RyanDelahunt]

Thing is...he hasnt aged a bit, he looks exactly the same, HE'S A WITCH

[@michaelcrawfordfreak]

It's mostly just about the logistics of a Broadway show vs a movie. With labor laws and such kids can't really do 8 shows a week. This works fine if you have one or two kids, you just double or triple cast them, but to do that with this many characters would be insane.
