Disney's Newsies perform a medley | Olivier Awards 2023 with Mastercard

[@lauraskovbjerg3890]

I love that they brought out the main characters to just be there

[@yattacake3297]

My eyes never leave Mukeni. What an incredible performer

[@kat.ily111]

I love Spot Conlon. Also I just remembered that Katherine asks the newsies why they're all scared of Brooklyn. Delightful.

NEWSIES ON A MISSION, KILL THE COMPETITION, SELL THE NEXT EDITION

[@rebeccam2553]

Yes Newsies!! The dancing is just so incredible in this show, the performers are all amazing! So good to see them in this medley!

[@ChelCM03]

I love how the included the Girlsies!

[@ANightworkerslife]

Damn! You really showed them what ia mistake it was not to nominate you in more categories!

[@hayleyleiberman8491]

Anyone else notice how bad the recorded audio here was? The dancing was amazing, but it was kind of overshadowed by how bad the singing sounded. Audio engineers messed up

[@SolarisMusic]

I thought the same thing :( The audio is mixed awfully

[@georgia.newman]

The audio was bad at the show in London too

[@lagl3ss690]

As a techie myself, I respect that you didn’t just immediately attack the performers for “bad singing” like a lot of standard theatre goers would. Techies do have a very important job for singers sounding good, but if the tech people don’t do a great job it can be very detrimental to any performance

[@ValpCreates]

@@lagl3ss690 agreed, these are very talented fellas with amazing singing, but the mics don’t always do them justice.

[@tinystarsandsunflowers]

this medley, at least, didn’t have the same electricity of the broadway newsies medleys i’ve seen. that said, live performances are very tricky (audio and shaky camera wasn’t their fault) and they’re definitely all super talented still! love the brooklyn girlsies. (:

[@elliemcdonald2884]

most of the performances that night didn't sound as great as they normally so there was definitely mic and audio issues, when its in person and at their own theatre its an amazing production

[@thebadpoet]

It’s an awards show, which means they’re coming off a one or two performance day, doing a medley they probably learned just a few days prior, on an unfamiliar stage.

[@julietblue1240]

Just saw the show live in London and this medley is so flat compared to the actual show. In person it is electric. The whole show blew me away but especially the dancing.

[@thepurpleguitarist17]

This is amazing! I think it made me love newsies even more I didn't think that was a possibility!

[@sianbennett-rodgers]

Of the shows performing, easily the best of the night

[@adrianatkins3128]

As a choreographer myself I love this. Stunning in it’s simplicity

[@milkmilk8721]

Was Wisel in newsies Jr! So much fun!

[@bensmith9572]

This medley really doesn't do the show justice.... amazing in person

[@palmereldritch7777]

It's embarrassing how much talent there is in that cast...... like okay they sing AND Dance ?????? Djeeeeezzzz WAW........

[@Aaren_B]

I can't wait to see this on Friday :D

[@Lay-Z_Studios]

B-b-british newsies!??? This brings tears of joy to my eyes-

[@TheatreLover-c3r]

I love that all the Brooklyn Newsies are girls, and that Newsies are scared of the Brooklyn GIRLS! It adds so much more and I love it.

[@caril.9384]

Okay, Brooklyn's Here actually sounds good in the Treble Cleff. I wish I lived in the UK--this production looks fantastic

[@migueldeavalos8971]

Extraordinarily Extraordinary👏

[@Florina_HNI]

An outstanding performance 🥰🥰😘😘👍👍🫶🫶

[@danielleangulo6038]

Though the choreography is good, but it was better in the Broadway version. Still interesting to see the new take on this musical.

[@KirstenD2]

Have you seen the full London production? The chereo is outstanding! I caught the US tour but this production is honestly next level. This is just a taster! (Though I do miss the flip at the end of seize the day)

[@davidcattin7006]

That dancing is just spectacular. Can't believe I have never managed to see this show.

[@katherinecleary425]

This was great, but did they really have to move the camera so much? Made it hard to follow the choreography

[@heatherhat]

Yeah the camera work really does their live performances dirty

[@miyannapittman5580]

Why do I live in the US right now??! My favorite show of all time😭😭 not gonna stop my script for the Broadway revival. Ngl though I wish they had made all newsie groups co-ed rather than having Brooklyn girlboss its way onstage. Just a personal opinion, but I would have liked to see more girls in the Manhattan newsies. Maybe even as prominent as Crutchie.

[@AvaPierpoint]

my neighbour is the one with the short sleeved top on next the man who did all the turns at the end!!!11

[@TheatreLover-c3r]

Wow! That’s really cool!

[@kimbrulee_the_musical]

y’all, is brooklyn’s here on spotify? (the west end cast ofc) i can’t find it

[@theladyisav4mp]

Nope, there isn't a cast recording yet

[@thefaulkness]

The live mixing doesn't really make any of the numbers justice 😔

[@stuartgraves2311]

It makes me laugh how people are so judgemental about this new production without having gone to see it from start to finish. newsies has been my favourite show since I saw it 10 years ago on Broadway. I admit I was a little nervous that the new production would not live up to the original. However, I can safely say that this production is incredible. What they achieve in the space they perform in is thrilling and exciting for those in the audience. I mean, I’ve never seen a show that has had three standing ovations before the end of the first act, especially not on press night, but that is exactly what happened and continues to happen night after night. To suggest that Matt Cole has stolen the dance routines from the original choreographer is just hilarious. I feel they are damned if they do and damned if they don’t. Matt Cole has as much right as anyone else to use a pirouette or any other dance move he wants. The new orchestration of seize the day is nothing short of genius and so is the choreography. But you would know that if you went to see it.

[@yeet8627]

fr! so what if the choreography is similar to the broadway one?? it’s literally the same show. they can’t change the dance style. If they stray so far in the choreography, people will still complain and say “it’s not the same anymore!!”

[@stuartgraves2311]

@@yeet8627 I couldn't agree more. It's familiar enough for those that love the original but has lots of new fresh material to make it fresh.

[@julietblue1240]

Can television ever mix live music well? Jesus Christ what a disservice to a fantastic show.

[@EmilyofREL]

A newsies medley without Santa Fe??

[@kareneastman9695]

This performance is excellent.🙂😲😀😁😁😆😆😅

[@fiaescobedo4870]

1:54 Specs Newsies Live! flip??? looks familiar lol

[@stuartgraves2311]

Specs doesn’t do a flip in this production, I should know because he’s my brother

[@elliemcdonald2884]

yeah it’s the one specs done in the proshot, however this one is done by ross who plays splasher

[@travelaviation3146]

Any idea when there going to release this on Spotify?

[@AsianMuscleFans]

This was chaotic. They seemed like they were yelling more than singing.

[@hannahbrayford6870]

dodgy audio on the oliviers part, i can guarantee its not like this seeing the actual musical

[@wanda9812]

Someone was definitely yelling and not really in tune. I hope the actual show has better audio

[@katrina_SJD]

​@@wanda9812Definitely the Oliver's fault I watched it last week and it was AMAZING, people stood up to clap in a song BEFORE intermission, I've never seen people do that before the finale.

[@El1989_]

Massively snubbed for awards. LOOK AT THEM!!

[@RapidObsessor]

ok first the brits and now the olivier awards?? why is british sound mixing so terrible??

[@grantcurry4839]

It has been rechoreographed and reorchestrated. I feel that's a mistake.

[@infinite4392]

like it's a talented cast, but the choreo felt rather stiff

[@elliemcdonald2884]

@@infinite4392 its incredible when its in its own theatre, the choreo is more suited to their own stage rather than the large olivier one

[@infinite4392]

@@elliemcdonald2884 i'll have to take your word for it. I was comparing it to the broadway musical's version that they managed to film.

[@thebadpoet]

The very genteel unenthusiastic clapping from some people at the end is definitely the highlight of this clip.

[@netherfield2000]

Oh wow, the singing and the audio were terrible.

[@orvwithbulletholes]

Super weird that London had a lot of women in the performance. There is usually only one woman
