Newsies - "King of New York"

The Cast of Newsies performs "King of New York" at the 85th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

[@abbytully9223]

Laughing at the idea of me attempting to learn this tap routine

[@jacobmullins6533]

It doesn't need a whole lot of technique, you could probably learn it with 2 years of tap

[@Puppee101]

same- when you want to dance but have no experience

[@glynsbackhanspring]

I can do it without tap shoes but umm yeah I should probably learn to tap

[@zuziazuzia1673]

Abby Tully I know it’s an old comment but I do tap for a year now and king of New York is pretty easy to learn.

[@ethanl886]

i have to learn it tmr for an audition OOF

[@miairena454]

I don't understand how some of the people sitting down watching aren't smiling, whether they enjoy theatre or not, just seeing such lively energy and incredible talent should make you just enjoy the experience.

[@rosieisla8286]

Maybe it's because they're only seeing the back?

[@claire.bear.edbrooke]

plus it was morning and it would have been freezing. but i agree they should at lest be smiling.

[@two-player-gays237]

bitch its cold as fuck

[@aidanbuck5970]

Because they are not actually singing. It’s a voiceover. It would be much more enjoyable if they weren’t lip syncing and it was freezing cold

That's precious

[@nerdygal6133]

That was so cute

[@Apollo-hi1jj]

Corrin. It’s like John and Paul in the Beatles

[@anonymous-vr5gv]

Katherine is so cute, no matter who plays her!

[@nathanthetailor]

I love how they've got both of the boys that played Les in it. Like "which one should we take?" "Why dont we just take both?" "Sure why not?"

[@carolinelawson9736]

Just like the tony awards! They had both Les’ in that performance as well!

[@overwhelmedkiwi9550]

*easily spots mike bc he's one of the tallest ones there*

[@jacquelynseiler4058]

overwhelmed kiwi and the palest😂😂

[@ellison_4710]

I usually look for the lanky arms in black then I'll be like ' Oh right, you can spot him by height '

[@kam_does_theatre]

And his face was just: 👁👄👁the hole time

[@hannahvance3798]

Agree

[@MackenzieBroderick]

And Ben too

[@Aragorn7027]

Finding out that Mike Faist is in not one but TWO of my favorite musicals just kills me

[@nicolecosta567]

BEN IS JUST SO CUTE IN THIS I CAN'T

[@lucyalbaumann]

Nicole Costa AGREE

[@kateymay8928]

Mike's smile at the beginning is so cute!!

[@yluinvhio]

2:48 When they zoomed up on Ben's face 😂😂

[@umylia3812]

MIKE IS EVERYTHING!!!!!!! I freaking love Mike!!

[@umylia3812]

I mean, those lil smiles in the beggining, I'm dead😍😱😁💕

[@Ruby_Buckley.edits13]

Same

[@kaylajaimistockwell3744]

The thing I love about watching Broadway performances, or performances in general, is you can see how genuinely happy they are to be performing :) I can't get the smile off my face in this performance, especially after 2:28 when she starts biting her tongue as she's tapping :)

[@sparrow8534]

When I'm dancing to this song in my room(taught myself the routine) I have the biggest smile and no one is even watching me

[@kassiogomes8498]

They are acting.

[@orlaghxx9748]

MY LIL MIKE LIVING HIS BEST LIFE TAP DANCING ABOUT AHHH IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE

[@judahcatherine]

It makes it easy because Mike is the tallest and in the middle of EVERY FREAKING FORMATION BECAUSE HES AMAZING

[@albiesmith110]

Came here for Mike and ended up loving the whole tap dancing thing. 💙

[@ellison_4710]

I came for Mike and ended up falling in love with the musical

[@chocolateeclair9879]

1:56 yyyyEEEEESSSSSSS

[@Katie-zt8lt]

Lets play the game "who is still in the cast" and my favorite game "spot the Mike Faist"

[@raffaellasocio6958]

I just laughed,,, so true

[@loveuwuloveuwu]

all o

[@V.ss.31]

TheOtherKatie XD

[@becklicious]

TheOtherKatie Spot Mike Faist is my favorite game too lol

[@goodjobeli]

I don't even try to spot Mike Faist, it just happens lol help

[@anioop8087]

*LOOK AT MIKE GO, HE MIGHT BE IN THE BACKGROUND BUT HE IS HAVING A HELL OF A TIME*

[@mopingmyrtle]

I can't be the only one who is questioning why Mike has his newsie cap on sideways

[@user-ls2sm3ui9d]

Mitchell Murph ggr

[@jacobmullins6533]

He's probably high

[@trin5991]

"He's definitely high."

[@goodjobeli]

I mean Crutchie wears his cap backwards so why not

[@Violetsoul6]

Dumb question apparently but who is Mike? Everyone seems to know who he is but me?

[@koralibra761]

I love when they all dance on the ground together as a group, all relatively the same height and then just giant ass Mike in the middle

[@lumdug22]

I saw this parade when I was seven, and had no idea what was happening. Now I'm thirteen, and couldn't be happier this exists

[@CCClarinet12]

Same!!! But I am 17 and this parade was when I was 6 but I was 13 when I remembered this existed too LOL

[@kotanamii3358]

I've listened to this song on repeat 60 times....

[@noodlesdoodles3070]

here for Newsies because its an amazing musical and shouldn't be defined as just Mike Faist's debut by the DEH fandom :)

[@rowanemie572]

Noodle's Doodles who did he even play in this?

[@goodjobeli]

Tonya Smith He played Morris Delancy and another newsie named Mike (lmao what a coincidence)

[@josephpolizzi_5759]

skipsbruh i think they named the character mike after him like with Tommy braco being Tommy boy when he’s not spot Conlon.

[@Trippik]

the DEH movie was a failure, but i saw something on twitter earlier about the newsies movie being a flop at first

[@sigsin1]

@@Trippik yeah but the Newsies movie was pretty good. DEH was awful. They are calling the new West Side Story a flop because it didn’t make enough, but it’s amazing and much better than the first one (except “America” which was awesome but Rita Moreno on the rooftop is absolutely the best).

[@kyleebrown3673]

that guy waving at 1:54 is me

[@mmchohon]

Oh my GOD I literally died of laughter that was so unexpectedly funny

[@whymustielaine9640]

0:25 how I'm going to walk up to people from now on when they suggest that lanky people can't dance

[@jacquelynseiler4058]

MIKE!! LOOK AT THE STRING BEAN GO❤️❤️

[@tj87451]

How many times have I watch this over 10 years old video? Yes

[@juley0721]

my favorite game: spot the mike faist

[@brittanybroquadio8846]

3:03 Mike almost falls off the chair

[@TheFrizz516]

+Aerial Dane Also, at 3:04 you can see her mouth is off time with the sound.

[@glynsbackhanspring]

It’s in the routine

[@nataliexholland]

Why are they all so adorable...??? but also mike frickin' faist everyone-

[@riverebec1]

Mike Faist! I think I saw another Jet or two among the dancers as well. His day of full-fledged stardom is just waiting to happen...and it's gonna happen!!

[@two-player-gays237]

MIKES FACE AT 2:13 TRUST ME YOULL THANK ME

[@beestapz]

This is my favorite Newsies performance on KZbin bc I can actually see Mike

[@jitterbugdancer]

I love the Movie AND the Musical. They're both amazing in their own respects! Somethings have to change when they make a movie into a musical, because of the songs they added and the time limits, etc. Things have to change. Both versions are amazing.

[@mama4ism]

I love this. Just saw Newsies, what a great show!!!

[@jordyynp]

I spot a wild mike faist

[@karentaylor5521]

I am a girl but I still will be a newsie for Halloween

that's so cool! wish I had the guts to do that. do you know which one you want to be?

[@thefriendlyemo5744]

I'm being Katherine for Halloween

[@christopherlara1649]

Karen Taylor I think I might do a gender bend Katherine for Halloween this year! I just need a striped long sleeve shirt red pants and a pink/red vest!

[@christopherlara1649]

Karen Taylor well depends on which costume I want to replicate that Kara wears.

[@xXlovestideXx]

I’m being Race this Halloween and another friend of mine is being Jack 😊😊

[@pagelogan5477]

Newsies was the very first musical I saw and I’m glad it was my first!

[@Dani-it9vc]

Katherine's little solo tap part at 2:06 is so cute omg

[@chocolateeclair9879]

0:12 mmmMIIIKKKEEEE

[@umylia3812]

Before Newsies live, this was almost all I could find of a live King of New York. This was one of the first Newsies videos I watched after listing to the soundtrack. Brings back memories of being up at like 2 in the morning just watching Newsies videos after Newsies videos

[@juliehenson6267]

Did anyone else just watch Mike??

[@survivingstudent7062]

I got casted as Race and I learned how to play the spoons just for this song 😂

the tap routine is so much better than anything goes

[@slimy_bastard9864]

Can we just admire the kid who play Les? He's freaking adorable! He has like a teen voice and can also have a kid voice! How cool is that?

So I’m auditioning for this musical next week and I love it with every piece of my being but,, I can’t dance...send prayers yall lmao

[@aliviaulrich8658]

I danced to this and the only part I got was, "Such as?" And whenever the kid talked I pretended I was lighting a match. :/

[@0ut.the.0x]

shout out to kara and ben for basically being the only remaining cast by the time it was filmed for the official show. this also explains why race doesn't sound like ben cook in the recording bahahha

since everyone’s talking about mike, i’m changing it to ryan breslin

[@xxdarkknight420xx2]

It's been a year and I want to know as well. Why are there two Leses?

[@rylinm2737]

Kate (2 years late lol) There are 2 Les’ because as a child actor on broadway, you cannot perform 8 shows a week. One of them performed matinees and was the Les “understudy”

How they manage to sound like the recording is,,, amazing

[@apc2851]

They're most likely lip syncing. That's what Macy's usually does as it's very cold outside which would affect the performers' singing, and it's hard to coordinate mics for the whole ensemble

probably true
