I finally watched the Broadway musical recording of Newsies on Disney+ today. I’ve never seen the 1992 movie version either so the plot was new to me, but I love a high-quality stage recording. And I really love Jeremy Jordan who stars in the original Broadway cast. I don’t know why I became so obsessed with him — he also is one of the stars in the movie The Last Five Years and the upcoming Great Gatsby Musical alongside Eva Noblezada who starred in the original cast of Hadestown. I am also obsessed with her . . . just check out her cover of Go the Distance).
When did I become the kind of person who knows Broadway stars?
Actually, I believe I first really got into Jeremy Jordan when I stumbled across this video a few years ago, “The Day I Saved the Greatest Showman“.
Remember when I went feral over those Tangled: The Series songs a month ago? Well, right after I posted I figured out it was Jeremy Jordan who singing in them. So that was definitely a factor.
All to say, Newsies was great! Streaming on Disney+.
With Love,
Natalie
