A record-breaking phenomenon, NEWSIES was brought to the stage by a winning creative team. Featuring a score by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman, choreography by Christopher Gattelli and a book by Harvey Fierstein, NEWSIES is directed by Jeff Calhoun.

for the people wondering what those "breathing things" are, they are vicks personal steam inhalers, they help reduce swelling in vocal chords and they also help with scratchy or tired voices (assuming their voices would be extremely tired because they perform so often)

Hunter K. They work wonders! If my throat feels like it’s scratchy or it’s a early morning performance it helps so much and it’s like cool mint shooting back softly through your throat, if your a singer and you have a problem with scratchiness or allergies use the steam inhaler

you have to download it to your phone. Then, you have to go to where you get to change your alarm tone, then you have to press where it said something like change tone or whatever it s then you press that song then your done. I have a samsung J7 so I hope that sort of helps you a little.......

I loved that they were praying that made me so so happy! God love su have a great day whoever reading
Oh my gosh Ben and Andrew's relationship is amazing that they can joke around like that all the time I love it
Am I really watching this video in 2020? Absolutely.
AWWW it's awesome that they pray beforehand!!!! Also, THE POOR GUY'S HEAD IS SPINNING!!!!!!!!
1:39 LMAO KARAS FACE I CANT
I just want to say this. This vid is way funnier when you're tired..... Not only Ben's warm up and Andrew's annoyed faces but also the randomly placed stretching Newsies. I.e., Tommy, Ryan and then Bres' face
They are VERY flexible! I love it!
Awwww babies. Happy 10 Year Anniversary!
Aww thats really cool that they pray together before the show.
This is my all time favorite Broadway show :)
omg I’m so jealous of these dudes dancing skills!!
Ben: The poor guys head is spinning! Andrew: I’m about to end this man’s whole career
When he prayed 🙏🏻🥰😊
This is where the meme began. Appreciate it, friends.
hearing them all pray and hold hands together broke my heart
That look that Jeremy gives UGH I love him!😂💜
The most iconic video for all fansies
Im just sad that Ryan Steele didn't reprise his role for the Live movie. :/
the poor guy's heEEEEeeEAAAaaAAADDDddD
Andrews face when Ben he singing 😂 best part of this video 1:26
This is such an incredible show. I am seeing it on tour this year, but I wish I could have seen it on Bway! WITH the OBC!
Love the SHOWW!!! Was supposed to come see it in February but was not able to make it due to health issues. Hope to see it one day! BREAK LEGGSSS NEWSIESSSSSS!!!!

I just saw it recently. :) My recommendation is to not get a front row seat or a seat too close to the stage. Granted, that's the best seats in the house, and if you want a chance to grab the newspapers the Newsies dance on/throw out to the audience, go right ahead, but be prepared to fight for them. My seat was in the middle, close to the right aisle (facing the stage), and just under the mezzanine. The wall the actors sing and dance on is very high, so you will be craning your head to see the actors up there if you sit up front. You're going to love it. :) It was wonderful! Oh, also, Jack Kelly does show up in the audience. If you're facing the stage, he walks down the right aisle to get up there.
That is so amazing that they pray beforehand!! Love those guys!
Seven years ago and it’s just recommended to me today-
i miss this show i performed it a few days ago and my post show depression is high
No one: *Me after watching this video backstage before I go on in my theatre's production of Newsies :* THE POOOR GUY'S HEAD IS SPINNING THE POOR GUYS HEAD IS SPINNING THE POOR GUYS HEaAaAaAD IS SPINNING

Also, I felt the "creative with warm-up space" in my soul. I've done color guard for...10 years now, and let me tell you, when you've got 55 people with 6-foot poles/rifles in some random high-school's music room/gym/parking-lot, you get real creative real fast, or someone might die.

1:06 “someone’s in here!” Stretching, brushing his teeth, and singing 😂😂😂👏👏
it's cool that they pray together like that and they are willing to show it
This is just amazing. With Ben's continuous 'Poor guy's head is spinning' I felt like Andrew's head was spinning. Lol :-)

Why am I not shocked that the one snippet with Kara in it she was in a wig cap 😂
Newsies was the first broadway musical I ever saw so it holds a special place in my heart
I SING NEWSIES SONGS EVERY DAY ON THE WALK TO AND FROME SCHOOL!!!!!!!
So THIS is how the head spinning line became such a meme. Years later, and FINALLY I understand.
this show needs to tour !
One day I will fly from England to see this show! It's been added to the bucket list!
This cast is literally the cutest cast ever! Like look at how close they arrree!
I just watced the movie today!I love newsies!
the clip you’re looking for starts at 0:50
This is quite possibly the most diverse broadway cast I’ve ever seen
ok so I knew that Ephraim was in Newsies but I forgot over the years and I'm watching this after I saw Hairspray LIVE! for the like 150th time and I'm like wait was that Ephraim in the video and I'm like EPHRAIM!!!!!!!!!!
Ahhhh I love specs!!!
