[@Izzy-Maurer]

I like Katherine a lot more than Sarah and Denton from the movie combined. I think that combining the reporter character and Jack's love interest into one character really works, and she holds her own as an interesting character without Jack as well. And Katherine being Pulitzer's daughter was a true stroke of genius and just the plot twist that was needed in that place in the story. I don't get why people don't like her. Did people even like Sarah from the movie?

[@TheAmityElf]

No. No they didn't. (No fault of the actress. She had literally nothing to work with.)

[@JJdaPK]

+OddUndeniably I liked Denton in the movie, but Sarah served no purpose other than obligatory love interest. Didn't dislike her, but she left little impression.

[@samipopcornpup9161]

Sarah Jacobs has a whole defense squad on Tumblr. That aside, I think that Sarah has so much potential that they wasted. She could have had dimension, I would have loved to see some of her personality. They could have shown why the strike was important to her, outside of just helping out David and Jack. The thing I like about Katherine is that, if she weren't Jack's love interest, she'd still play an important role in the story. I don't mind Sarah, but I really wish the writer's had explored her character some more. Or, they at least could have had the movie pass the Bechdel Test.

[@LeighMet]

They cut alot of her scenes.

[@LeighMet]

I'm not sure the Bechdel test was coined back then.

[@chelciea.2250]

People are getting way too upset about this musical being changed from the movie. I saw it on Broadway and it was fantastic. The most enjoyable show I've seen. Everybody needs to calm down a little bit.

[@manuelorozco7760]

I actually haven't seen the original movie. I just saw the Fathom Events screening of Newsies Live last Saturday. When this song came on with the extra Newsies joining in the dance, that was so amazing. Newsies is perhaps one of the best stage musicals I've ever seen.

When Katharine tapped like what they thought was a child, my friend who was Race (we just did this at the local theatre I volunteer at) yelled at my friend who played Katharine "THAT WAS TERRIBLE. NO." and she walked towards him and he went "I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT." the last two performances. I died of laughter and so did everyone else in the audience.

Race came striding over to Albert. “For jumpin’ Jack’s sake, can’t you stow the seriosity long enough to just drink”-he punched to Albert’s left-”in”-he punched to Albert’s right-”the mo-o-o-o-oment.” He jabbed both fists rapidly in the direction of Albert’s chest so his words bounced up and down, then flung an arm around Albert and clamped him against his side in a crushing embrace. “I’m famous!” Albert winced as Race’s high-pitched voice cracked right next to his ear. Henry was standing on one of the tables holding the newspaper and raised skeptical brows at Race’s bold cry. “Yeah… what of it?” Race was pulled back to reality and scowled at Henry. Releasing Albert, he took his cigar out of his mouth to scoff, “Well, are you stupid or what. When you’re famous”-he adopted a dreamy voice-”da world’s yer erster.” He grinned, proud of himself, and popped his cigar back in his mouth, adjusting his cap. Everyone looked utterly baffled. Henry stared in confusion. “Ya what?” Race paused and looked at him like he was an idiot. “Your erster.” Henry swung his head to look at the boys next to him questioningly. Race turned to Albert for support, but he simply shrugged. “Your erster!” cried Race. More confusion. Katherine had a hand over her mouth to hide her smile. “Your erster!” Race grew frustrated. “You know, the fancy clam with the pearl inside!” He mimed a clam with his hands. Upon hearing that, everyone began shouting at him at once, throwing their hands up in digust. “All right, all right!” called Henry over the clamor, deciding to play Race’s game. He looked meaningfully at Race. “How much does bein’ famous pay?” Race scoffed and waved him off dismissively as he walked over to lean against the table by Katherine. “Oh, you don’t need money when yer famous.” He grabbed the pape from Henry and shrugged. “They gives you whatever you want! Gratis!” Henry raised his eyebrows. “Such as?” “A pair of new shoes with matchin’ laces,” Race sang, pretending to scribble on the pape with his cigar. Romeo sidled up to the table and grabbed the pape. “A permanent box on the Sheepshead races.” “Pastrami on rye with a sour pickle,” added Henry. “A personal puss on a wooden nickel!” Finch joined in. Race snatched the pape from Romeo and strolled to the front of the middle table, dancing wildly. “Look at me,” he sang. “I’m the king of New York!” He strutted up to Albert, jabbing a finger at him. “Suddenly. I’m respectable. Starin’ right at’cha, lousy with stature.” Tucking his walking stick under his arm, Albert marched past Race, stealing the pape. “Nobbin’ with all the muckety-mucks, I’m blowin’ my dough and goin’ deluxe-” “And there I be,” sang Race, retrieving the pape, leaping on top of the middle table, and catching a glass someone threw him and holding it out in a toast. “Ain’t I pretty? It’s my city, I’m the king of New York-” “A solid gold watch with a chain to twerl it,” Jo Jo interrupted, taking the paper, then handing it to Les as the kid joined in: “My very own bed and an indoor terlet.” “A barber shop haircut that costs a quarter,” Mush added. Davey seized the pape and handed it to Katherine. “A regular beat for the star reporter!” “Am-scray, punk!” Race flicked Davey in the back of the shoulder and gestured to Katherine. “She’s the king of New York!” “Whod’a thunk? I’m the king of New York!” Katherine sang, holding her hands out to the group as a few of the newsies picked up the table she was sitting on and carried it to the back of the room to make room for dancing. “We was sunk,” sang the newsies. “Pale and pitiful-” “Buncha wet noodles-” Katherine agreed. “Pultizer’s poodles,” they all finished together. “Almost about to drown in the drink-” sang Les. Buttons jumped in. “When she fished us out-” “And drowned us in ink,” Race interrupted. “So let’s get drunk!” cried Katherine. “Yeah!” the newsies roared. “Not with liquor,” amended Katherine, “fame works quicker (“awww”), when you’re king of New York.” The newsies sang together: “I gotta be either dead or dreamin’, ‘Cause look at that pape with my face beamin’.” Katherine flared the pape and held it flat against her chest, beaming. “Tomorrow they may wrap fishes in it But I was the star for one whole minute! “Look at me: I’m the king of New York Wait and see: This is gonna make both the Delancey’s Pee in their pant-sies. Flash pots are shootin’ bright as the sun I’m one highfallutin’ son-of-a-gun I guarantee: Though I crapped out, I ain’t tapped out I’m the king of New- “Friends may flee! Let’em ditch ya Snap one pit’cha You’re the king of New- “History! Front page story Guts and glory, I’m the king- Of New York!”

[@alyssa2024]

we are about to do this musical at school and let me tell you the tap part is HARD

[@hoodiechild5701]

I went and saw them preform last year

[@TheThespian98]

I think this song is so underrated in comparison to all the other greats in this musical. First time I saw this song I had a migraine (it was also the movie version, which is just as good listen to it rn) but I was immediately like LET ME IN LET ME DANCE WATCH ME SPECTACULARLY FAIL AND NOT CARE AT ALL. And now I know that Race leads this song, which makes me love it all the more.

[@gracediemert5079]

I'm in a The Newsies cast for my Jr high, and I can't wait till I get to star in it!!!

[@england9715]

I like the musical better than the movie oopsies

[@malissaboone6065]

[@confetti_kisses427]

[@nightcoresubliminals2038]

[@manuelorozco7760]

[@dylanfrangenberg2006]

My personal favorite musical and song

[@undisclosednamebecauseofin9068]

I did this musical a few years ago and I got Wiesel and I was really sad because I couldn't do this exact song (and carryover my the banner)

[@bunnymaher7351]

This is dance song! I am going to dance with this for my recital! Edit: Yay 600th comment!

[@lizb1364]

0:49 his voice sounds so nice there

[@elphabathropp2818]

There was just an ad for a company called Snyder. I'm like, snyder the spider!?

[@Yuko_Edits]

My favorite part in the musical is when the beautiful line of "The world is your erster." And no one knows what he means

[@mattbroner7209]

2 things: 1- Alan Menken (creater of newsies music) is a freaking genius 2- if any of these songs were ever real, they would sound like a freaking revelation because of the way these songs sound

[@michrp]

Kara Lindsay is such a dream 😍

[@leahthai2040]

Michelle P she is! I got to see her as Glinda in wicked and she was AMAZING!!!!

[@michrp]

PotterPand same!! I saw her in January in Wicked with Jennifer DiNoia as Elphaba, so good!!! They are so freaking talented! ❤️

[@leahthai2040]

Michelle P i didn't get to see Jennifer. There was an understudy when I saw it but she was really good.

[@caseymadeen8734]

I had to do a production for this when I did competitive dance and it was so fun.

[@gavinderner4716]

[@kylieharris2400]

I’m doing a musical and this is it and honestly I’m so terrified to do this dance number in front of the crowd lol🤣

[@theamazinggamingidiots3961]

If Katherine can be the king of New York, you can be too

[@goodjobeli]

YOU COULD BE SMALLS (the girl newsie!)

[@bradenwolf2179]

So is Katherine

[@Dani-it9vc]

Katherine Pullizer is everything I aspire to be tbh I love her

[@nightcoresubliminals2038]

King is a better title than Queen anyway

[@pampursley3772]

I love this version, but like, Ben Cook’s Race and his voice-PERFECTION

[@jedijosie07]

TOTALLY AGREE!!!

[@seekingthelight2029]

Yeah, I'm so sorry to the guy playing Race in the OG crew, absolutely no offense to him but i never liked this version of the song, then I watched the broadway movie with Ben and now it's one of my absolute favourite songs-if not my favourite song in the show, and I think the lines are funnier with him too. But maybe I'm biased cuz I fancy him, who knows

[@Erasureeraser]

There were about 14 male dancers and Kara Lindsay was the only female on stage, yet you can clearly hear her singing voice when they all sang together. That's how powerful her singing voice is
