My newsies hyperfixation went from lasting two and a half years to going dormant for 3 years, and it's been going in and out for the last nine months. I never know when it's going to happen or how long it'll last, but it's the only hyperfixation that has ever given me this much brainrot.

And it doesn't help that the actual strike has continued to be my special interest for 6 years straight. I've done multiple papers/presentations on it for actual school assignments.

Actually got to watch UKsies finally! Putting my thoughts/things I like under the cut + a final thoughts (live blogging)

I like the little added stuff at the start. It's a cute touch.

Jack and Crutchie actually looking at a physical picture during Santa Fe (Prologue) was a cute touch. They have such good chemistry.

Crutchie showing fear when getting his papers from the Delanceys because it was right after they pushed him down was a nice touch. It makes sense! We love continuity!

I love the parts where they're running in the crowd because they run in front of the camera and you can hear each individual member as they pass it. It's just kinda funny.

I'm liking the chemistry with Jack and Katherine a lot more in this one. His flirting being more playful (my friend described it as "boyish") definitely helps their chemistry. She seems to be more amused than creeped out, and it just helps it feel more authentic.

Ryan's Davey is so lovely! I think his version has definitely become my favorite by FAR. The way he holds onto Les is just so cute.

One of the scabs actually looking ashamed of himself while Jack's talking :(

Crutchie spinning around on Mike(?)'s back during Seize the Day is something so personal to me

Crutchie is actually sobbing and I'm crying with him

The picture makes a comeback in Santa Fe aww

THE BELT!!! We love to see it

Elmer actually lunging at the "there's a headline even Elmer could sell" pls that's so funny

Spotlight changes for each person at the start of King of New York that's so clever!! I love lighting design!!

Les dance solo

Katherine dance :)

They're driving the tables that's so cute

The spinning on the lights!! Does someone know if this was an intentional nod to the fan part in the 1992 King of New York? Was that ever confirmed or anything? It just reminds me of it, and it feels like it's too much of a coincidence to be unintentional.

The spoon crown is adorable!!

Letter from the Refuge 😭

Left handed Crutchie!

Oh his voice is so good

The way Medda lifted Jack's chin up 😭

His "we are inevitable" I love him

Davey rolling his eyes at Jack lmao

His "poor guys head is spinning" is so good!!

Davey and Jack's eye contact at the end of Watch What Happens (Reprise) was a bit too long iykwim

I think it's interesting that Katherine chose to hide instead of Pulitzer hiding her.

Jack's laugh

Oh she hid so she could run out to explain herself this hurts even more

I wish I could've seen Jack's face for the Katherine reveal

Katherine pushing Pulitzer's hand off of her arm lmao

The Delancey's cackles are sinister

BROOKLYN :D

Girl Spot my beloved

I love the idea of one of the Brooklyn girls having a broken arm (I'm assuming)

Not him pushing Davey off of him :(

Spot throwing him down and threatening to punch him!! Yes!!

NOT HIM KNOCKING LES OVER

I love when Jack actors go to lean back in for another kiss/Katherine backs away after the first one! It makes more sense in why he questions her intentions later because she pulls away from him! Of course it makes him confused! It's such a good choice!

Her getting emotional and having to take a breath with the "so I could keep looking at you" line!! I. LOVE. THEM.

Her lookback at "angel"

THEIR CHEMISTRY!! Best Jathrine hands down

The lanterns are a nice touch! I love this!

The Once and For All lyric change! I love it so much!

The choreography!! The lanterns!

THE BIG BANNER AND SILHOUETTE!

Jack looks so proud of Davey for telling Pulitzer off lmao

Him gushing with Davey about Roosevelt

The drumming stopping at "think of the happiness you'll bring those children" it makes it so dramatic

*looks at Jack* *looks at Pulitzer* *looks at Jack* "You can do this" pls

JACK FALLING PRETENDING THEY LOST THEN TELLING THEM THEY WON! WHEN JACK HUGGED DAVEY!! THEY WERE SO HAPPY!!

Crutchie wearing a police hat 😭

I melt every time I see Jack hug Crutchie he cares about him so much

Jack and Katherine: *Having a moment* Davey and Crutchie: *fully in the foreground*

Jack giving Katherine a newsboy cap I'm going to cry they're so cute

***

Final Thoughts

I think this one definitely topped Toursies as my favorite. Everyone had such good chemistry! Jack and Katherine's relationship felt much more authentic!

Davey's arc felt more authentic as well. I love everyone who has played him before, but Ryan definitely understood the assignment with this one. Davey is supposed to be very reserved until he realizes that there's a fighting chance, and that's exactly how he played him!

The original choreography (original compared to the bway/tour/recording choreo that's mostly the same if not identical) was so clever and well done! The little moments they added were also really nice touches!

They blew it out of the water with this performance, and I'm so happy that I finally got a chance to watch it!

I think this production officially holds the title for my favorite versions of the characters and the show! This is definitely one I will be watching again!

If you read this far I'm so sorry

Since it’s closing here are all the audios I got from this week (I haven’t listened back to any s sorry if they’re shit! 😃) and uhhhhh… there’s also a little surprise in there so even if you’re not interested in the audio… I would just take a little peek

#oh my god #downloading the surprise thank you #another newsies to obsessively analyze #uksies

[be-more-chill-evan-hansen]

As someone who very much hc gay autistic Davey - what do you mean by canon gay autistic davey? Did ryan say/do something tonight?

okokok!!!! he said today at stage door that his davey is gay, and when myself and several other of my autistic friends told him (across several occasions) that we see ourselves and all our traits in his davey, and how important it is to us, he was quick every time to say how glad he is and how happy it makes him that he makes people feel seen with his character

#i haven't seen his davey yet but from what i can tell with clips and stuff he definitely gave autistic vibes #as an autistic person this means so much to me :') #i might have a new favorite davey #uksies #ryan kopel

[be-more-chill-evan-hansen]

Has anyone said this yet? Am I the only one that sees it?

Tell me why it took me 5 years to figure out that Oscar was mocking Kid Blink in 92sies 😭😭

Now I need to know if this was scripted or if it was the actor's choice.

#newsies #92sies #kid blink #oscar delancey #granted i was out of the fandom for like 3 of the 5 years but point still stands lmao #though i watched this movie probably no less than a hundred times so i probably should've realized it sooner #pls tell me i'm not the only one that didn't notice it #ignore the quality idk how to make gifs #if i get flamed for this i'm deactivating it was a nice run lads /j

I think part of what brought back my Newsies hyperfixation was the anniversary of the strike. Anyone who knew me knows that it was such a strong special interest for me. I can tell you the entire timeline from start to end with little details in between. I love it so much.

[be-more-chill-evan-hansen]

My newsies hyperfixation took 3 years to come back, so I decided to revive this blog to repost stuff. I need somewhere to hold my love for the London cast

#newsies #will i do fics and hcs again? who knows lmao #honestly though i missed the fandom

[be-more-chill-evan-hansen]

Starting a multi fandom blog for everything I'm into.

I still love Broadway, but I started a musical-only blog not realizing I'd run out of content and having to keep it up started getting tiring and it almost ruined it for me. I won't be using this blog anymore, but it will still stay up I'm not deleting it. Go follow @dragonflyace

I will be using fandom tags so if you don't want to see tags from a specific fandom just block the tag. I won't be using spoiler tags unless it's something recent.

And yes, it will include musical stuff. It just won't be the core focus.

why do neurotypicals always assume there’s an ulterior motive behind “i don’t know.” bestie my mind is simply empty <3

Folks, friends, y’all…. esk*mo is a slur. I understand a lot of people don’t know that, I don’t want to be a dick about it, but I’ve been seeing it in fics. Wanna write “esk*mo kisses”? Just say “nuzzled noses” or something.

I’m not here to call anybody out, it’s been in multiple fics, I’m not vague posting. This is just a psa. 👍🏻
