On Saturday I had the opportunity to see the touring company of Newsies! What a show. I love musicals so it was a great time. As someone who is not acquainted with the 1992 film, I knew it was about boys selling newspapers. What I didn't expect was the amount of dancing. These boys were doing so many dance numbers that looked like a high difficulty level. I mean it's not like I'm a dancer or know much about dance, but I can't imagine anyone not being dazzled by the tapping, leaping and more. Just great choreography. Newsies is based on the Newsboys' Strike of 1899, a youth-led campaign to increase pay for newsboys against Pulitzer and Hearst. It had everything I like; catchy songs, a little romance, and some kind of revolution (Les Mis is my favorite show so I like anything with angry marching and a fight for justice). If Newsies is coming to a city near you, definitely check it out. You won't be disappointed. Check out the clip below from the 2012 Tony Awards. That dancing. Just wow.
