Hold on to your papes and strap on your tap shoes, y’all: The Broadway Babies are about to seize the "Newsies"! We will be discussing the real history behind the story, the X-TREME "Newsies" fandom, and how Disney has a trend of making squeaky-clean musicals. Oh, and how "Something to Believe In” is the weirdest love song we have ever heard. Anyway, tune in for plenty of laughter, unqualified opinions, PAPES, and — of course... — "Santa Fe" as we talk about the 2017 filmed production of "Newsies"! iTunes Video | Amazon Video | Netflix | Spotify Songs "Overture"  "Seize the Day" (performed by Ben Fankhauser, Jeremy Jordan and Newsboys) "Watch What Happens" (by Kara Lindsay) "King of New York" (by Newsboys and Kara Lindsay) "Santa Fe" (by Jeremy Jordan) "Something to Believe In" (by Jeremy Jordan and Kara Lindsay) (Music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Jack Feldman) Show Notes “Children of the City: At Work and at Play” by David Nasaw is a great book about the actual newspaper boys’ strikes in the 1890s that inspired “Newsies” A longer explanation of “yellow journalism” and how the World and the Journal presumably helped start a war:  Jeremy Jordan being one of the best Tonys ever, so much better than Jack Kelly Here's that Channing Tatum literally-gay sailor tap number from "Hail Caesar!"  On a final note, Andrew Keenan-Bolger co-created and -directed a really amazing, hilarious web series around five years ago called “Submissions Only” about Broadway actors and auditioners, which either starred or cameoed basically every known Broadway actor, including pre-”Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” Santino Fontana and Donna-Lynne Champlin.
