[@rw8733]

He is so sweet.

[@mollymorgan4440]

"is been three years, and life goes on" NAH NO IT REALLY DOESNT

[@samschreiber22]

Molly Lentz- Lies

[@mariaremberg]

I'm convinced Luca is going to play Evan one day 😄 It's kinda weird to think that Evan is only three years older than him...

[@lilajanick]

Maria E. Remberg wait Luca is 15..??

[@sevinnewport1658]

Lila Janick 14

[@samschreiber22]

Sevin Newport- Seriously! That's Amazing! So mature and and a great appearance/ like ability

[@marikamarklin348]

He's so tiny for 14😂 when he's around 20, he'd be the perfect Evan AHAHAHHAHA

[@Gee-xb7rt]

Just the annunciation and tonal clarity this kid has is light years better than a certain someone that isn't really that talented.

[@amytrichanh6977]

PROTECT THIS CHILD AT ALL COSTS

[@DeathGodRiku]

Amy Trichanh can you believe he's 14 already?

[@theswaff699]

DeathGodRiku he's still like 4' 10" though

[@DeathGodRiku]

Meat Shield I know! He's too precious for this cruel world!

[@theswaff699]

DeathGodRiku yeah I know, What I thought about the other day I am about 5' 5" and we're the same age.

[@tomfancypants]

sup

[@baileybieganek2446]

I'll feel no shame in admitting I choked up.

[@rw8733]

[@probablygayattorneys6556]

He can call it whatever he wants but I'm pretty sure it's just a love letter to Mike Faist.

It wasn't all that long ago I heard about this little show at Paper Mill No one thought it had a chance But damn, those paper boys could dance And what a thrill I bought a ticket, went to see And holy smokes, it spoke to me, I never knew A musical can touch your soul Make you feel like you are whole, like deja vu And I knew that one thing was true It's the greatest play in forever They'll rule the Great White Way for forever Wish that I could stop time here forever today Those guys and their perfect play Then that first year went by so quick With Matthew, Lewis, Jake, and Nick And then, guess They hired Josh and Zachary And in between they hired me Now I'm playing Les I'm loving all our inside bits You must be joking, Coy, that's rich Chime, says Tom For dinner, grab a bite at Schnipp's Then eat another mint and then you're on It's all I ever wanted to do It's all I ever wanted to do And we'll do this show for forever 'Cause Newsies are you know, they're forever Feels like we could go on for forever this way, this way Singing in the lights, I'm in Newsies Though the dancing's tight here in Newsies Living my best life here in Newsies today My friends and our Broadway play And places called, here we go, we're on our way Far up in my dressing room, I hear them singing Santa Fe Brooklyn's Here, King of New York, Seize the Day, Once and For All One show after the other Each night onstage with my brothers Feeling like we're on fire I'm living my heart's desire I was sure it wouldn't end But of course it had to end It's been three years And life goes on I miss them all And I'm so glad we have this One night in August To sing our songs again 'Cause you'll be my guys for forever Whatever time goes by, we're forever I get to keep that prize for forever always, always All I feel is love I can't get enough And I'm so proud of the part I played True friends, new friends, Newsies of Broadway

[@anyasannicolas1408]

I was just having the crudiest day and watching this actually motivated me to get back to work, just his voice and his adorableness and the sONG PUNCHING ME IN THE HEART--God, this was awesome

[@kendallleney2504]

In choir we watched him on music express and me and my two friends were freaking out because... we love him and people were saying he couldn’t sing 🙄. Like he was amazing singing Santa Fe but whatever. And then today we were watching the newsies perform at the tonys because we were studying the tonys today and then we watched the Greatest Showman workshop and Jeremy and Andrew were there and I screamed😂

[@rebeccamactaggart3875]

Can his voice never drop 🙏🏻

[@kristenasato372]

RM well if, and probably when, it does, hopefully it will be flawless and amazing like Joshua Colley

[@erennightcore8489]

It has already kinda like right now put the other newsies song on his voice is higher so he’s halfway threw his voice dropping anyways

[@Isa-qz9mb]

Luca can still hit pretty high notes. Not as high as he used to obviously. It's incredible!
