NEWSIES Broadway - 2012 Tony Awards

The cast of the Broadway hit musical NEWSIES perform a medley of "Once and For All" and "Seize The Day" live at the 2012 Tony Awards.

[@chris-lx2fi]

my favorite thing about broadway is that if you look up any white male broadway actor they were either a newsie or dated one

[@florriepatel6204]

Either way, they were associated with newsies

[@legoindiecomments1344]

Or Mormon

[@laurenconrad1799]

Kind of makes me wonder how many Newsies dated other Newsies. Or what percentage of Newsies are gay, straight, or bi.

This performance was immediately after they found out they won, which is so wholesome and I love it

[@maggieoconnor413]

Alex Wong was also in it

[@agarvin1687]

I was lucky enough to see the show 3 rows away from the stage at the Friday performance immediately following the Tony Awards that year. I went with my older sister who grew up loving the movie (and who had introduced it to me when I was growing up) and we had an absolute blast esp. seeing all the guys dancing up close - the Seize the Day number that night was unbelievable! Being so close meant I got one of the newspapers they threw here and, by the end of the number, the applause was insane and lasted for probably over a minute but felt like an eternity! Everyone in that cast was so freaking good and I still have fond memories despite it being close to 10 years since having seen it! :D

[@clairesabol8745]

I cannot imagine how *INSANE* it must have been to see this live! Also, the guy at 3:19 hitting those perfect a la secondes ON A NEWSPAPER is absolutely sick with it!

Why is it so fast? Jack, the ultimate hype leader who can’t dance

[@musicaltheaterandvlogs9776]

Haha

[@heatherg1949]

Our jack isn't the best dancer anyway either. Guess it was just being authentic!

[@chloebutler8438]

Tony Awards performances are sometimes abbreviated versions of the actual song because they’re on a time limit

[@cameronfoster5838]

Chloe Butler This is the full performance, in the actual musical, Jack doesn’t dance much either.

[@chloebutler8438]

Cameron Foster I know, I was more referring to the first half about it being faster than normal. Trust me, I’ve watched the full show more than I can count lol

[@phunzi]

This number alone makes Newsies the hardest musical to put on. This number: -Requires a lot of actors -Actors are all men of a specific age group -All actors need to be able to sing -All actors need to be able to dance -Dance number includes ballet -Dance number includes mild stunts -Due to costuming, you can’t pad out the numbers with girls, it’s too noticeable I wouldn’t be surprised if they auditioned the entire state of New York and then some to be able to fill out this cast. EDIT: scratch that I forgot that Starlight Express was a thing

[@ellabellabingbong08]

i was a girl in newsies !!!

[@tinystarsandsunflowers]

i am a girl! got cast in the adv dance corps for my production (:

[@DiaHendricks]

Girls can be newsies! Historically, there were a lot of female newsies!

[@ellisLovesZoey]

I would kill to see the original broadway cast perform newsies on broadway. if this alone was as incredible as it was, i cant imagine what seeing it on a broadway stage would be like. i love newsies more than anything, i'm so lucky to be able to do it at my school.

[@MrCrowebobby]

Some of them are probably too old now.

[@chrisengelke1371]

It’s available on Disney + but nothing matched seeing it in person.

Doing choreography from broadway shows like fun and games until you try newsies #bye

The fact that this performance was right after the show won for best choreography makes it’s wholesome level over 5000 Also Jeremy Jordan DOES dance in the newspaper sequence…all the way in the back He’s doing his best and we love him Look for the blue shirt

I’ve seen a lot of shows on Broadway. This scene, by far, is my favorite. Seeing this live...the talent, the dancing...and the crowd went wild. So good! I could see this show over and over again, just for this scene.... not to say the entire show wasn’t top notch because it was.

Yes - Im digging Jeremy Jordan's stage presence and what a set of pipes to go alongside his great castmates with choreography. 2012 was a great year for Broadway. Its 2023 and im currently in a random broadway musical phase and Jeremy Jordan's Santa Fe - one of my favorites!!

[@TheHManShow]

One of the few broadway shows where the ensemble members are as well known as the principal roles!! Rightfully so cause they really DELIVER!!! No pun intended lol

[@jad8123]

Such amazing choreography. These guys are so talented. The jumps, the splits & the sliding on the floor through the legs of the other actors. Of course, you forget the dancing on the newspapers and the singing, too. I’m just sorry I missed all of this life. I’m glad I got to see it on the Tony Awards and now on KZbin. Thanks.

This is amazing, but, believe it or not, the London production is even more amazing. It has been restaged and re-choreographed for a new theatre which is not in-the-round but almost. It is an immersive experience for the audience, and, in nearly 60 years of going to musicals, I've never experienced anything like the thrill of 'Seize the Day'.
