[@divinebovine]

Life Is Good he was only in the Paper Mill cast afaik. Everything I’ve been able to find on him says that his family is keeping the cause of death private. It’s so sad, he was only a few days older than me.

[@divinebovine]

Life Is Good he was apparently a swing, played some character named “Knobs,” and was replaced by Michael Fatica when the show went to Broadway

I would like to know why someone disliked. this is an outrage.

[@claddagh1826]

this show has my most favorite choreography ever and one of my most favorite dancers ever in ryan steele. anyway, who is the guy in saint louis??

[@abigailhauck3692]

I think the guy in Saint Louis is Jack Sippel, but I’m not entirely sure since it’s harder to see his face clearly

[@ryanc5517]

Jack Sippel is originally from St. Louis. So it would make sense that out of all the Newsies he would be dancing with the St. Louis Arch in the background. 🤔🙂

[@nathaniellee5277]

I hate that I knew which Newsie it was in the thumbnail right away

[@user-iy2jt5nt4h]

I feel a bit dizzy after watching so much pirouetting

[@jeeemmm]

Excuse me ? 😭

[@suzannecutler1099]

I have an 8 year old daughter. I have not seen her since she was 5. I never abused or neglected her in any way. I am a #TargetedParent in a high conflict custody battle, which means, I was attacked in court by a wealthy and vindictive ex. He has a lawyer and I didn’t; he has over 100k to spend building a case against me and I didn’t. I did not have the means to defend myself against these attacks and so I have been wrongfully separated from my daughter under the guise that this is “in her best interest” when in fact this is a form of domestic violence known as parental alienation, which occurs when one parent misuses and weaponizes the legal system in order to cut the other parent out of their child’s life in order to punish them for the relationship failing. It has nothing to do with what is in the child’s best interest, it is enacted purely out of spite, vindictiveness and a desire for revenge. Some of the things that have been used against me during this #custodybattle include: breastfeeding, letting my daughter skip pre-school, letting her go outside on a windy day, letting her stand on the sofa next to me, telling her I miss her, reading her a children’s book (I will explain that one in a separate post.) You get the picture. I am not a perfect person, or mom, there is no such thing. But I am not a danger to my child. If you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in our broken legal system you can build a case against anyone for anything. I also went to jail for requesting to see my daughter, and for texting the father of my child that we should have a truce. I know that sounds insane, so I have included a picture of the warrant for my arrest. I am telling the truth. I am not hiding anything. I have signed over my HIPAA rights to my ex and the courts so that they could read my entire medical records, (including years of therapy and psychological and psychiatric evaluations. The courts ordered me to have these evaluations, but then they would not accept my clean bill of mental health. This happens to people a lot, I have learned. I have no mental illness; although my mental state is being used against me in court anyway, I am having a normal human reaction to being separated from my child) I did this so that they could see I’m not hiding anything. It’s probably illegal for the courts to pressure me to do that, but no one regulates custody battles so illegal things happen in family court everyday, and basic human rights are violated. I’m trying to change that. Also, BIPOC families suffer disproportionately, so I want to use my #whitepriveledge here for good. I am working on a series of videos detailing everything I’ve learned about America’s broken justice system over the past 6 years. I won’t remain silent while my daughter and I are tortured by my ex, his family, and the state of NJ. It is not possible for me to fight multi millionaires in a corrupt family court system, because the system was designed to keep the rich in power. And since my ex father in law is the President and CEO of #TheActorsFund he is very wealthy and powerful and has a lot of connections in NJ. I can’t possibly defend myself in court against them, but that doesn’t mean I am a bad mom or that I don’t deserve to see my daughter. If this seems “crazy” to you, please keep in mind that I am a human being who has been separated from my child for almost 4 years. As a result I am suffering from c-ptsd. My goal is to raise awareness about this form of child abuse, and to help other victims. I am not “playing the victim” I am standing up for my daughters basic human rights. She has the right to know and love both sides of her family, and she is being denied those rights. I tag celebrities who support The Actors Fund because I think they have a right to know where their money is going, and I am also hopeful to find a celebrity advocate. Over the years I have been issued gag orders by the court, and coerced into signing a non-disclosure agreement to protect my ex father in law, #JoeBenincasa’s name. It was never my intention to harm his image, but I won’t be silenced anymore either. If my ex husband would drop his case and let me see my daughter I wouldn’t be doing this. I love my daughter with all of my heart and I want us to be reunited, which is also what she wants but her voice is not being heard. I want to be heard, I’m done being silenced. Millions of #AlienatedParents are good people, good parents, functioning members of society who work hard and pay our child support payments. We deserve to be in our children’s lives. Please feel free to share. #FamilyCourt #AvaBenincasa #ParentalAlienation #BreakTheSilence #SpeakUp #ChildrenNeedBothParents #parentalalienationischildabuse. #BCEFA #BrianStokesMitchell #MakeThemHearYou
