[@ronispadez]

damnit [insert my brother's name] why did you always blast this and like two other songs I wanna listen to the rest-

[@JJdaPK]

Wow, this has a completely different context than the version in the movie. The movie version is very much an "I Want" song in the vein of "Part of Your World" and "Out There." This broadway version is more like a desperate cry for help…a song filled with despair. It's very powerful and Jeremy Jordan does a terrific job. I honestly don't know which version I like better since they serve different functions.

[@calicocarter1]

I think the Broadway version is in a more a practical way of unlocking Jack's emotions on the hardships which is more important in the part of the musical this song appears in. However, both are great! (If only Jeremy sang the movie version instead of Bale;) )

[@soniaschwab1682]

I think Jeremy wanted to make this more of song about wanting something so badly yet being so far from it all at the same time

[@MrGabeanator]

nice

[@leeeng1199]

JJdaPK this version is so much better to me. I never cared for the original song but I love the passion and cry for help in this version. Jeremy Jordan is incredible. I like the lyrics better too.

This song is so powerful... its like a cry for help, the way he sings it makes it seem as though it was his last shot at being okay; santa fe.

[@daninmills]

Abigail Cunningham Aw, that's too bad. But like I said, the reason he's coming back to the role is so they can release a professionally filmed version of the show, so you can always see that when it comes out! It's not quite the same as seeing it live, but it's still pretty great.

The Newsies tour is going to stop in Salt Lake City for a second time yet they never once stopped in Santa Fe and I just don't see the logic in that.

[@thebl1ndbat]

except they stop in Albuquerque. The reason is most likely because there isn't a really big stage in Santa Fe, the only semi-big theater is the Lensic and that isn't very big for a show like this

[@joshuacruz5436]

This right here is where Jeremy Jordan catapulted to being one of my favorite male broadway actors. That voice! This song definitely showcases his range.

[@Brian-dg7qc]

I agree, he is a stand-out performer. He's fantastic about conveying emotion through his songs. I disagree with the interpretation of a few things I've heard him perform (a few small things in this included), but some of that may be the director's choice rather than his. He definitely makes all the 'bad singing' (off pitch, choked/high larynx, etc...) and 'bad sounds' (grit, low soft palate, sobs, gasps, etc...) sound really good within the context of the scene and that's a heck of a skill and really what sets apart musical theatre from stuff like opera where it's about the singing rather than telling the story through the song.

[JACK] Folks, we finally got our headline "Newsies Crushed as Bulls Attack" Crutchie's calling me Dumb crip's just too damn slow Guys are fightin', bleedin', fallin' Thanks to good ole' Captain Jack Captain Jack just wants to close his eyes and GO! Let me go Far away Somewhere they won't ever find me, and tomorrow won't remind me of today And the city's finally sleepin' And the moon looks old and grey I get on a train thats bound for Santa Fe And I'm gone And I'm done No more running. No more lying No more fat old man denying me my pay Just a moon so big and yellow, it turns night right into day Dreams come true. Yeah they do. In Santa Fe Where does it say you gotta live and die here? Where does it say a guy can't catch a break? Why should you only take what you're given? Why should you spend your whole life living trapped where there ain't no future Even at 17! Breaking your back for someone else's sake! If the life don't seem to suit you, how about a change of scene? Far from the lousy headlines, and the deadlines in between Santa Fe, my old friend I can't spend my whole life dreaming Though I know thats all I seem inclined to do I ain't getting any younger And I wanna start brand new I need space. And fresh air Let 'em laugh in my face. I don't care Save my place- I'll be there Just be real is all I'm asking Not some painting in my head Cause I'm dead if I can't count on you today I got nothing if I ain't got Santa Fe

[@leannaneanover4993]

The note he sings on "Fe" at the end 😍😍

[@nedalyedublin-brown1081]

Anyone here in 2020? I'm obsessed with this musical.

[@tess6193]

There is so much emotion in this song...

[@maybesomeluca]

When I learned that Jeremy Jordan voiced Varian I couldn't unhear it so here we are

[@cutie_blossoms]

I knew this was Jeremy Jordan.I didn't have to look at my suggestions.......I may listen to The Last Five Years on repeat sometimes.

[@noahhamade]

this song and Movin' Too Fast

[@cutie_blossoms]

Same.

[@TheRoneZone]

Fantastic song by the incomparable Alan Menken. Where would Disney music be without that man...

[@manuelorozco7760]

He's like Richard Rogers was to the Golden Age of Broadway

[@hasmiktumasyan846]

dont you love it when you play a song on repeat so much that you end up remembering all the words without trying to

[@AnnoyingNerdLoL]

That damn last high note screwed my audition 😂 Still a great show, and the guy who did get Jack did way better than I could have

[@mikaselter9638]

As someone who has seen both the 1992 version of Newsies and this version, I can truthfully say that in my opinion, both of these versions are truly incredible. I love the fact that Santa Fe means something different in both of them. For this version of Jack, especially in this song, it is a final cry for help. It's his one last shot at trying to be okay and to get away from a world that has literally beaten him down from a young age. In the different versions of the musical, it seems like the songs Santa Fe and Santa Fe reprise are used similarly but entirely different in their own aspects. In this one, the first Santa Fe seems almost hopeful as Jack tells Crutchy of this place that could solve all of their problems, and in this song like I said it is a final plea for an escape. In the original version, Santa Fe is a whimsical place that's so close but yet so far for Jack. He'd heard so much about. It's less of a hopeful escape and more of a daydream. In the reprise though, it is more of a deep longing for a place he's never been. He uses it as an escape without ever actually going there. If you read all of this, thank you for listening to my little rant. Please feel free to tell me what you think about it.

Jeremy Jordan is a blessing on this earth, & I cannot get enough of his angelic voice & performance!! ^.^

[@linkhenderson1522]

I want... to sing this song... but the LAST NOTE.... AAAAAAAA

[@dadsyogajourney888]

guys i was mad and i was home alone and listened to this on full volume on a speaker- therapeutic is an understatement.

[@perfectinpurple5146]

Evan Williams: Corey Cott is without a doubt just as good as Jeremy. They are both incredibly talented so don't hate on one. Both are perfect for the part and sing so well.

[@KamronYM]

IMHO Jeremy is better but Corey is still AMAZING

[@loganstommel6473]

I prefer Corey over Jeremy and that's just my opinion. I don't hate they are both very talented men.

[@mimiposkocil9385]

OMG I LOVE THE NEWSIES AND THIS SONG AND ALL OF THESE SONGS I SAW THEM LIVE IM IN LOVE WITH THE NEWSIES

[@annabellejane9846]

I cannot explain the over-excited spasms I started having when I immediately realized that this is Jeremy and not Corey. I love Corey, but Jeremy just really, really gets this just right.

[@funky2670]
