about a month ago i went to the theater with netter. we had tickets to see newsies. it's a play based on the disney movie from 1992. if you have never seen newsies i encourage you to get yourself to the netflix list and order it immediately. this movie is still one of the "fond" memories i have of my childhood relationship with big lug. he might not admit it but i think he really liked the movie and definitely knows all the words to "i'm the king of new york". i actually really want him to come to new york before the limited engagement of the show is over.
but i digress...
from the moment the orchestra started the overture i had the cheesiest grin on my face. that grin and happy endorphins never left my body for the next close to three hours. the show was SOOO good and actually improved, plot wise, on the original movie. the actors were amazing, the lighting was great but the dancing was IN-CRED-I-BLE! the choreographer just received a well deserved Tony nomination for his work.
i've seen many, many, many broadway shows in the almost 10 years that i've been a new york city resident. this show was pure joy and fun. i would love to see it once a month until it is scheduled to end in august just so i can embrace that feeling of joy and fun. if you are coming to new york, have potential plans to come to new york, or even have no plans to come to new york i would recommend thinking about adding a showing of newsies to your itinerary. it will be worth it.
