Davey with glasses is my favourite concept.

[@lilymata9931]

Same

[@disneyfan6268]

It’s adorable

[@dongkwanshin1107]

For some reason, crutchie with crooked glasses would be an even better option

[@protector22222]

Pretty sure that actor actually glasses lol

[@vicomtexdaae3630]

@@protector22222 Yeah obviously hahaha but I’m just saying that the character wearing glasses is cool

[@VicksWuys]

This is a high school production? Damn I was born in the wrong country to have productions of this quality in high school. Awesome!

[@MysticOceanDollies]

Vicks they are a really good private school with tons of resources. They actually get people from broadway to train them. Their choir or band (don’t remember which one) was at Trump’s inauguration.

[@MysticOceanDollies]

Mary Breckling nope, it’s high school. My sister saw it.

[@rileyburnett2860]

@Mary Breckling The thing that i think is funny is they changed the curse words in most of their songs but forgot to get rid off hell. Jack Says the strike starts here right now. Instead of the strike starts right damn now. The prologue Santa Fe (different video from the same playlist though) they also change bastards to scabbers.

[@athieru5588]

ugh same, judging by your profile pic we’re both from aus!

[@erinclark4803]

Mary Breckling um mam I

[@mikeyjamieson4715]

I think this is the first production I've seen with actual female Newsies. Usually the female ensemble are made up to look like boys, so this was very refreshing to see.

[@tylerdulski803]

Mikey Jamieson yeah but it’s also historically inaccurate and not based on the movie

[@mikeyjamieson4715]

I know, but it's still nice to see.

[@daarylwilson8705]

There were girl newsies! 😀

[@karnager3formedgames391]

Daaryl Wilson no there weren’t

[@jrasicmark1]

@@tylerdulski803 I wondered about that, too, because I never heard girl newsies existed. But it seemed plausible. Surely there were poor families who only had daughters and they would do what they had to do to put food on the table. So I Googled it, and found an article that showed a few photos from that time that showed girl newsies. So they apparently did exist, though I'm sure the boys outnumbered them.

[@kirac3916]

I respect that this Crutchie danced on papers

[@santafe1699]

K Casler same

[@gumdropthedutchie9012]

Same here

[@easybreezy8535]

I feel bad sadly he his hurt for life.

[@oregano4413]

I did it

[@-cosmixnebulae-7398]

I love Crutchie dancing too, but I also get why the other shows didn't add him. Realistically, if you do any fast movements with a bad leg, it's going to hurt because of the speed, momentum, and the air whipping your leg. Also, with the acrobatics in this scene, that would also be impossible for someone with polio because if they're not careful, they might hurt their bad leg even more. So, while I love Crutchie dancing in this scene, I get why the other productions didn't add it.

[@sarahbentley9645]

Davy is really cute, also he sings really well. Jack is an excellent actor too, his interpretation of the character is perfect.

[@easybreezy8535]

Sarah Bentley what about cruchie he's hurt for ever :(

[@AngelClxudsVideos]

Sarah Bentley I didn’t like Jack, I liked crucified thoughn

[@jascl8479]

And crutchchie to I feel so bad I just want to hug 🫂 him ?

gg chiu I know I was born in the wrong country when people have this good of a cast and a set 😂💗

[@blahkayonaFriday]

omg Jack and Davey harmonize so well

[@LittleJoeTheMoonlightCat]

Oh Kyle Martin as Jack Kelly, Right the Fictional guy I took my Name from. Yeah Disney Added Jack Kelly so it could be a Musical. The Real Organizer was Kid Blink, The guy with the Eye Patch, But it still makes great theater.

[@kaiyuen7883]

GIRLSIES! IN! SKIRTS!!

[@freyajohnson5174]

“Specs, any sign of renforcements?” specs shakes his head “Dave”... Davey, “ COURAGE CAN NOT ERASE OUR FEARS!” davey’s thoughts, “ YES I CAN CONTINUE MY SONG!!!!” Not hate intended, love this 🌟🤩💖😍

he sounds exactly like jeremy jordan what is this sorcery

[@jessnardone7]

Leighton Cagalingan I was thinking the same thing. Lol I was looking for this comment!

[@kylakrantz2230]

I know right I thought it was Jeremy before I looked at the video

[@carlichristenson7853]

This is awesome. Not only are they dancing on newspapers, which is a difficult thing to do, they did handstands! Even Crutchie is dancing, which is awesome to see! This whole number is fantastic. I also love the inclusion of the ensemble and female newsies in this. The harmonies also go really well together. I definitely love how they throw the papers into the stage- when my high school did Newsies, we also had this concept, but the newspapers thrown fell right into the pit... I felt bad for them every time we performed this song.

[@idajordaan3166]

Ooo

[@bearbosco6739]

I just got cast as Jack, and man, I think the best compliment I can give this is that it’s pretty intimidating!! I’m not the biggest theater kid around, but I don’t think you’ve got to be one to see how cool this performance is! Awesome job!!

[@chrismnutone8421]

In my 25 years of surfing the Internet, I have never come across a more professional high school production as you guys did here at The Kings Academy. I really had to do not a double-take, but a triple-take to make sure this was not Broadway! My God you young people are terrific! I hope when you look in the mirror each day you thank God for the talent he has bestowed upon you and that you carry that talent throughout life. On a scale of 1-10, you get a 15. Thank you!

[@freyajohnson5174]

GOD DAMN IT JACK!!! COME BACK FOR CRUTCHIE!!!! 🌟😫😫😫 they way he’s just screaming and yelling help!

[@elideangeli5098]

I love that there are female newsies too

[@LeighMet]

In reality the actual Newsies were 90 something percent male not 100 percent

[@dylanmorrison9919]

They don’t look right, it should be all boys

[@nahlmao4005]

I don't think there should be obvious females; maybe female playing male.

[@nahlmao4005]

But I do like the idea of a harmony. However, they didn't do much of one.

[@trash2922]

Nah Lmao i was thinking the same thing.

Mackenzie Curwen Ya same

[@KiraLeah02]

Mackenzie Curwen Same here! I found this version too... slow?

[@-cosmixnebulae-7398]

@dunkelfallos I like this song being slowed down because it gives time for every word to resonate with the audience, every sentence. But other songs like Carrying the Banner or Santa Fe… were not meant to be slowed down. I also like Crutchie’s solo, Letter from the Refuge slowed down… same with Once and For All. Same with The World Will Know. But Carrying the Banner, Santa Fe (Jack’s climax, not the prologue. In the case that it’s prologue, then the slowed down version definitely strikes me more than the normal speed), and King of New York weren’t ment to be slowed down.

[@madeleinesteppel8537]

After obsessively watching Ghost for a week or so, it's sooo weird seeing Clay and Olivia Henley acting like they barely know each other.... My brain keeps screaming "BUT OMG GUYS YOU'VE KISSED HOW MANY TIMES?!?!?!?!"

[@hcrsa1]

Newsies is the best musical that tka put together and not only that seize the day is a masterpiece and Kyle is awesome jack Kelly and the same thing goes for Clayton hider for his character of Davey and for Chris pappas of his character of crutchie in newsies at the king’s academy all three of them are very talented

[@agctwillis8138]

This just goes to show that you can have an amazing musical without swearing. I know the Broadway version had swearing, but it’s just as good this way. Way to go!

[@-cosmixnebulae-7398]

Yeah. This production is more appropriate for younger children, and better for learners of the songs since they’re more slow-paced, thus better for people who aren’t familiar with the lyrics.
