Forever torn between original Janis and her newest interpretations, bc in a way i find her edge in 04 so interesting, she is such an asshole to everything and everyone and it js makes her a more interesting character, but i also love how touchy and caring musical janis is, or how 24 janis acts around the ppl she feels comfortable with. I’ll work on my janis characterization at some point but for now i’m kind of pretty confused on which version of her is my favorite
One thing I’ve learned through my years of consuming live theatre and bootlegs of live theatre is that you can almost always tell when someone used to be a Newsie.
They always have this like indescribable quality about how they move even compared to other incredibly well trained dancers. I think it’s just because Newsies is such an insane, other level caliber of dance that it just brings them to another quality of movement.
I don’t know how to describe it. I just know that whenever I watch something the Newsie always stands out.
I like how the new movie musical of mg takes a bit more of its time to show janis damian and cady friendship. Theyre literally so sweet and the 1st movie didnt rlly do them justice!!
