Hey!! I saw you auditioned for Les and I just thought I'd say hi because I auditioned for Davey XD

You did really well btw!

-@make-friends-with-the-rats

Thank you! I did audition for my school’s Les, my directors say I’m scarily accurate in terms of voice but unfortunately I do not look like a 10 year old boy so I didn’t make the cut. I hope we both get the roles, I think it’d be super cool!

Yes! I have most of the ensemble numbers official music for the show, so I’m already familiar with the harmonies for them. I can try to get my hands on any of the solo songs if that’s something you guys need!

Audition Information: Les Jacobs

Character:

Davey’s cheeky younger brother, is inspired by the freedom of the newsies and loves their independent lifestyle. A precocious and natural newsie, Les is an intuitive salesboy and a pint-sized charmer. He should present as younger than the other newsies.

Lines:

-"I’m ten. Almost."

-"50-50! You wouldn’t try to pull a fast one on a little kid."

-"You heard me. I’ve been swattin’ skirts away all morning. Fame is one intoxicatin’ potion. And this girl, Sally, she’s a plum."

Sing: 60 seconds of the World Will Know/Watch What Happens reprise (Your pick! :D)

Happy auditioning! :3

Oh go and look it up my gosh darn HEAD is spinning!

I’m trapped all alone, leading a strike of my own creation-

Something that spreads through the newsies, and our generation!

Breaking away from the old life I’ve always known.

Papa you know that I’ve truly begun to grow!

If only you were by my side..

Jack, your voice was always louder than mine

Without you next to me I’ve gotten so unsteady?

Am- Am I ready? Are we ready?

…

Random snippet I made, taking Katherine’s Watch What Happens and Watch What Happens (Reprise) as inspiration then diverging it to something else. I used the fact that most of what Jack says about the strike is what Davey says but louder, so I included that Davey felt Jack was kind of his voice and without him, Davey doesn’t have a loud voice to lead with and is doubting his leading abilities. I also mentioned Davey’s dad who had started the whole Newsie thing by allowing his son to join the Newsies and I’d like to imagine Davey’s dad thought it would bring him out of his shell. I’m really tired but really creative so no one judge me too bad.

Here’s a link to a voice recording of me singing it too I guess: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1U0Ba5v18O-k-9n94S9DiDZ3T3kSRUIty/view?usp=drivesd

i cannot stress how badly i think davey should’ve gotten his own solo song

Howdy! I’m Flintt, Any/All Pronouns and the link below is my audition for Les Jacobs! I’ve been a newsie fan since I was 7 and I am currently performing in my school’s theater as ensemble Brooklyn and Manhattan Newsie. If you’re still looking for an assistant director as well, I’d love to help as I am member of my choir at school, can play piano enough to make part tapes for the songs different parts, have already been involved with extensive research on characters so can put my input on them when needed, and am very enthusiastic person so can keep morales high! I’m a big everyman so wherever you need me, I can be there!

Night at the Museum: Redesigning Characters 2/4(?)

Character profile: Al "Scarface" "Snorky" Capone

This character is based off of and takes inspiration from the historical Al Capone.

Real Name: Alphonse "Al" Gabriel Capone

Nickname and Meaning: Scarface - He earned this nickname because of the three scars on the left side of his face, two on his cheek and one on his neck. Embarrassed by them, Al hates the nickname and never shared the real story of how he got them, siting that he actually got them fighting in WWI.

Snorky - Snorky was slang for sharp dresser. Al loved expensive, flashy clothes. Only close friends used it for him

Age: 26 (January 17, 1899)

Time Period: America's Prohibition in the 1920s, around mid-1925 Johnny Torrio, Al's boss, stepped down and let Al take over the Outfit.

Family: James "Jimmy" Vincenzo Capone, Raffaele "Ralph" James Capone, and Salvador "Frank" Capone + Three younger brothers and one sister that wasn't brought back.

(Headcanons under the cut)

Based on/taken from History:

Can play Banjo and Mandolin, prefers Mandolin

involved in the Five Points Gang with mobster John Torrio as a kid. John Torrio mentored him and gave him the role as the Chicago Mob leader

Only got into the mob for the money to care for his family

Can go from 1 to 10 very quickly

Played in a semi-pro team in Brooklyn as a kid/teen with Ralph. They were known as the Al Capone Stars

+ Intelligent + Generous + Confident - Overdramatic - Attention seeker - Petty

My own silly headcanons:

A little twerp, Al doesn’t respect authority

Feels that he’s better than Ivan and Napoleon because he’s from a newer generation and knows more.

“Okay boomer” vibes

Acts like he hates Napoleon and Ivan (mostly Napoleon), but likes them secretly. They are two men in history that did grand things- in fact he liked learning about Napoleon in school! Al just thinks he had a too big of a head.

Only has one tone of voice- really loud

Swears every other word

He’s a basically still a kid, one with too much power. Al knows his way around the mob, he’s been in it since he was around 15, but now he’s been given power over the Outfit and hasn’t come down off that high yet of being in charge.

Hes happy to have Frank back, they were four years apart in age and were extremely close. He’s missed Frank the year he’s been dead

Was extremely tempted to play baseball using the Einstein’s as balls. He doesn’t like them.

On that note, Al is slightly unnerved around the miniatures. He doesn’t seem to know what to do with himself around them.

He likes sitting at the bench in middle of the hall of miniatures just watching them. Al liked Cowboys and liked playing cowboys and robbers with his brothers as a kid. Some part of him wishes he could be part of their group.

After finding the Sinatra songs made after Al died, he’s constantly found humming them and making up his own lyrics to go along with them. He likes That’s Life the best.

Al somehow acquires a camcorder and films the whole night that they’re trying to take over the world, making himself a big star and part of the plan. He wants that stardom, he loved it when he was alive – he was just getting a part of it when he was alive

Really loves making up nicknames and short stories for people around him. One of his favorite things to do with Ralph is people-watch.

Al: I don’t like Napoleon! He’s a fuckin’.. fuckin’ bitch! A short ass goblin! Ralph: Yeah.. goblin’ that dick. Frank: MMHHEHEHAHAHAHAHAAH!!! Al: What.

Makes jokes about Napoleon and his boys being gay because he's frightened about questioning his own sexuality. He knows he likes women, but he's got that good ol' "1910's Christian beat the gay away" ideal still stuck in his head. It takes a bit for Al to realize he's bi

Loves giving gifts

He likes having at least one of his brothers by his side. Historically it's been Ralph, but during the events that take place during NATM 2, Al kept Frank close because he was frightened of loosing him again.

Frank, Ralph, Napoleon

I never did an update on my production of Newsie but I did get Mike and became a Brooklyn newsie. This production might be my first and last due to finding myself overwhelmed with being in theater. It’s been great so far but it might just not be my thing, it breaks my heart that I can’t continue but it just might not be for me.

a bit of the bottom line reprise but it’s Davey

Yes I have become songwriting trash again lol, enjoy this snippet that came to me in a fever dream a few weeks ago and has been marinating ever since

So now I’ve no job, Jack,

You made me resign-

Now, I know you’ve no family,

But just think of mine!

I’m glad we’re alive, but I think

That’s the bottom line!

You told me to yell

And so I raised my voice

And convinced them to stand up and fight!

It’s too bad for them, we’ve got only one choice

So you’d better pray for us tonight…
