PLAYBILL EXCLUSIVE: Disney's Newsies Warm Up for a Performance

www.playbill.com/multimedia/video "Newsies" cast members Ryan Steele, Ephraim Sykes, Garett Hawe and Thayne Jasperson invited Playbill to the Nederlander Theatre for an exclusive peek at their special pre-show warm-up routine, which happens throughout the theatre when the stage isn't available due to tech prep. Designed to stretch and protect their bodies before they jump into Christopher Gattelli's intense tap-meets-ballet choreography - featuring plenty of turns, leaps and tumbling - the warm-up includes elements of yoga, classical barre and gym routine.

this video is basically attractive people doing push ups. 10/10 would recomend

[@rainybopz]

I laughed so hard causing me to choke on my spit

[@JCtheRobotSings]

With your comment, I have never been more persuaded to watch a video in my entire life. (9years late)

[@user-cf1lk8gz6k]

is it humanly possible to sing so beautifully while doing full on choreography and not sound out of breath? yes, newsies has just proved it to us (they never fail to impress me)

[@miabadalucco989]

Thayne taught my dance class once, and more than an hour of it was very calming yoga. He was the sweetest thing ever, too. He pushed us pretty hard when doing sit ups and push ups, but it felt amazing and he's very talented.

Mia Badalucco ANd now he is in Hamilton :)

[@makennak7409]

these boys are more flexible and in better shape than me

[@shady490]

[@nu_metal-kid2765]

And this is news?

[@macyvanwart2514]

King of New York makes me wanna dance and pretend to be good at tap dancing!! I love that song!

[@beccasbeauty22]

I swear I'm not normal, but I love it when guys do ballet. It's not coming from a weird perverted view because I do ballet and you don't really see many guys doing so

[@braidedreins9870]

Oml same I am a ballet dancer also and I love it too

[@paulatari879]

sameeeeee

[@mewingmanda]

Braided Reins ayeee me too :D

[@elizabethwells8893]

I was impressed because they're so open about it, as well as being so stinking flexible.

[@RealAngelOfMusic]

I think that guys are so much more attractive if they can sing or dance 😍

[@katherinebodkin118]

That's what you call commitment!

[@Kai-th8ti]

2:15 calm down man, everything's ok, why you mad bruh?

[@elizabethwells8893]

He's mad because the guy must've threatened a newsie during the strike.

[@jubilee3027]

Lizzie Wells It was a Delancey so he was very mad

[@elizabethwells8893]

@@jubilee3027 ever the more reason for him to get mad!

i felt so proud i could actually follow the ballet dialogue...that's what comes from taking dance for 9 years...

[@malloryfallon6394]

i love how they were doing a 5,6,7,8 count for their crunches!

[@greyr.4326]

Makes me wish I could have afforded to keep dancing. I could have done something with it.... Oh well. I can just watch Newsies and eat ice cream and cry.

[@BottleConcreteBlond]

I didn't realize Thayne was in this. That's an amazing group of dancers.

[@arellaflur5753]

[@cheerislife095]

[@WoodlandFaerie0610]

The Newsies are Superhero’s. In my opinion.

[@maiteagustinavargas]

I wanna be a Newsie, that's my biggest life goal I mean-

[@klklkpkp]

I clicked on this thinking this would be a spoof, but the reality of it is even funnier

[@sydneymitchell9607]

[@mydreamstellme]

Gorgeous guys, amazing talent. :)

[@junsfallinflower]

Love this

[@basicallyrybread]

I just spit out my drink when they showed the ballet barre warm up! That’s the fucking BATD grade 6 advanced syllabus plié exercise that I do with the kids at my studio!

[@MsBroadway1000]

I hope that one day I will get to work with dedicated people like this

[@annanordmann837]

wow boys your moves are so fantastic so nice to see your body work behind the stage .I am sad that i can only watch you on youtube, I am from Germany

[@x0tvigg0x]

ughhh!!!!!

[@RaphaConrad]

I know Ryan and Thayne!!!

[@Isa-qz9mb]

U are the luckiest person in the world

[@julianna11924]

Ur sooooo lucky

[@Racelympics]

Man, two people from Hamilton moved to Newsies! Hope they do well!

[@evagathash1401]

I'm pretty sure Newsies came first, because Hamilton began in 2016, so they actually went from Newsies to Hamilton.

[@carolined5153]

Newsies should come back on broadway please

[@cassiecope99]

That, that just ain't fair.....

[@gabiem2410]

and people say dance isnt a sport

[@MrCrowebobby]

As an ex-dancer I can appreciate how extraordinary they are, but my ex-football player friend dismisses it all as "cartwheels," which I have to admit I find kind of funny. It's like saying Tom Brady plays "fetch" for a living.

[@LeScarletSinger2]

So the split jumps, are they refering to Jete?

[@katherinebodkin118]

***** well, technally their called grand jetes.

[@GotFilmGotHappyTimes]

It's just not fair when boys are more graceful than me.

[@catythompson2489]

seeing how fit these guys are makes me sad 😂

[@RainStrife92]

Sadly, no :(

[@shouldileavesatanforraphae2395]

No wonder Thayne is so rip....so hot and rip

[@x0tvigg0x]

is thayne straight?

[@x0tvigg0x]

i hope thayne is straight..... hes beautiful
