I would imagine Disney are licensing Newsies to whoever is producing it like with Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

I can't see Disney allowing a new production of a show that did well on Broadway, they are very strict with their brand. For a London show they will want it in a prime west end theatre. My guess would be this will replace Mary Poppins at the Prince Edward.

My guess would be this will replace Mary Poppins at the Prince Edward. I think this is unlikely as it's been heavily rumoured that Cameron Mackintosh is going to put a revival of Oliver! into the Prince Edward when Poppins leaves. And Disney is only strict with the very high-profile shows - they allowed a fair amount of creative license with Pinocchio at the National Theatre and Bedknobs and Broomsticks on tour. Given that they have preivously tried and failed to bring the Broadway production of Newsies to the West End I wouldn't be surprised if they've handed the rights over to another producer now. |

It's all hiperthetical really as Charlie is currently in Mary Poppins so I was just carrying on with the fun of suggesting People for various shows.
But Charlie looks like he is about 14 years old with that cheeky smile.

I reckon that Mr Stemp will be lined up for the role of Bobby in Crazy for You at Chichester

Down due to cookies presumably knowing I am reading this newsies thread I seem to be getting lots of newsies YouTube clips being recommended.
Know Broadway shows are maxed up with cast but this seems to have a small platoon of cast members. If the cast bows routine are anything to go by it's a very energetic show.

Just been watching some clips on YouTube of Newsies.
This, surely is going to be the biggest dance heavy musical since 42nd Street.

'Now for the very first time, audiences in the UK have a chance to enjoy the thrill of one of the biggest Broadway hits of recent years. In an innovative and brand new immersive production ‘in the round’ at Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre, theatregoers will be thrust right inside the action as the newsies dance, sing, jump and fly around the streets of a booming 19th century New York City.'
There's also someone in charge of 'performer flying', so that sounds fun. In related news, it's remarkably easy to access the parts of the Newsies announcement website they don't want you to see yet. No cast, performance dates or prices, but full list of creatives.

I would say there were more dance routines in 42nd Street than Anything Goes. I would agree, but Anything Goes is a musical which lives or dies by its dancing in the key numbers and is more recent than 42nd Street. |

Only problem watching the clips of the original Broadway cast is that it's raising expectations very high, with Jeremy jordan vocals and the absolute full throttle dancing the UK version will have a lot to live up to. You can rent the recording of the Broadway show from YouTube or Amazon but as well YouTube seems to have prompted several complete shows from various stage productions as well as the seemly endless video clips promos/ blogs the cast did. Does show when you have a young tech savvy cast who completely adore the show they are in they will willing do endless social media to promote and this mainly from a decade ago. |

I can see this working well in the round. Limits any potential to do the 'rounds' on a tour post-London though.

I like in the round staging (although some folk believe it's a vicious circle!)
