so i was just tooling around on IMDB as one does and looking up my faves to see if they are in anything they haven’t announced yet

and regina comet is on there

i know they filmed the show because they were offering comps (because of obstructed view) and i couldn’t go because i had a photography gig but could they be actually RELEASING it?

This is also excellent.

(I realize this doesn’t really have anything to do with Newsies other than Ben was Davey but I’m not going to start a whole-ass blog for Regina Comet unless there’s a proshot and a cast recording coming)

Spoilers ahoy.

OK…so I saw Regina Comet.

I loved it.

Now, to be fair, I knew I was going to love it. I’d never seen Alex Wyse perform live before but I knew of his extensive Broadway/tour/off-Broadway history and I had seen his beautiful “Avinu Malkeinu” video with Ben and Samantha Massell, so I knew I was in for a treat. Bryonha Marie Parham was one of my absolute favorite parts of “Prince of Broadway” (she and Brandon Uranowitz basically WERE the show for me) so I knew the role of Regina was in good hands. Ben was already a fave of mine going into the show, so I knew I would love him in the role. I’ve loved Ben in most of the things I’ve seen him in, even if he was not my favorite Davey (I think his voice and his general demeanor/physicality on stage is far more suited to pieces in a modern/contemporary setting).

So.

The show itself was fun and had a satisfying ending. I liked that the two guys (who never get names) were able to provide something for Regina even though it wasn’t what was promised to her in the beginning, and as much as I was rooting for “Man 2” to succeed with Regina personally and professionally, I liked that she finally got the opportunity she had secretly dreamed of her whole life from the REAL first person to really care about what she thought (not that Man 2 wasn’t genuine, he just wasn’t the first). As someone who began to make their first steps to a better life thanks to a friend from a distant past resurfacing and saving the day (and, tbh, my life) with their kindness, the fact that Regina reached out to someone who fostered her first passion and he offered (after decades!) to be the bridge to her achieving that dream gave me so much joy. I also liked that she became comfortable enough with Other Man and Man 2 to admit where her heart really was, and in admitting that she didn’t even believe in the product she was selling (mostly because she was allergic to it), they could free themselves from the project (which they were technically already free from because of what Man 2 did) and showcase what they both really cared about, which was her. They DID write her hit song, it just wasn’t the jingle.

Another thing that I really liked was Ben and Alex’s chemistry. They’ve worked together quite a bit before, and IIRC actually DID grow up together (I know their characters did but I wasn’t sure how far they personally went back). On the one hand, it made everything so much more real (even more so than the fact that they wrote the piece together), but on the other hand, because their chemistry was so good, it honestly feels like a piece that literally only THEY could do. Like, could I see my other favorite Nice Jewish Boys of Broadway/Broadway-adjacent in this show? I mean, I could see them singing the solos, maybe, but I couldn’t see this show working with any other actors (at least in the roles of the men). I think that their friendship and real-life closeness also benefited the solo work they did within the show. I have an inkling that Ben took more of a lead in the songwriting aspect and Alex took more of a lead in the dialogue, and as a writer in all aspects I know there is always a tendency to want to give the best material to oneself, but I felt like whoever was in charge of the songs (which, again, I’m suspecting was Ben) wanted to make both of the solos equally engaging and true to the character/singer. Alex’s song (the name escapes me right now) had big “forced to do the group project by himself” energy that I identified strongly with, and Ben’s song “Conflict of Interest” was the best horny-anxious-thirtysomething-Jewish anthem since…well, since the existence of Mendel in Falsettos. Not to be crass, but that man (Ben) makes sweet love to every song he sings and that one was no exception. Looking back on that sentence, it almost feels like witnessing that song, having been written by him, is like walking in on a private moment. Anyway, he totally owned it.

I also liked that the female lead character was well-rounded (enjoyed the finer things in life but was also proud of her interest in academic matters and not willing to hide that part of herself), not particularly young (I don’t know how old BMP is but I think Regina is supposed to be around 40), not rail-thin, and not a soprano (no shade to sopranos, I just want to be able to sing along with a potential cast recording without sounding like an unbalanced washing machine).

There were only a few things that weakened the show for me. One was that a lot of the songs that weren’t solos started to sound the same to me. Not so much musically, but narratively. Like, we get it, you have writers’ block and one of you is an overthinker and the other one is a bit of a hornball who isn’t pulling his weight. Most of the songs felt like one big reprise that was interrupted by a song that sounded different every once in a while and then went back to exactly what they were talking about before. Another thing that was weird for me was the joke about Regina taking the collective virginities of the Hanson brothers, and how whatever she did with them inspired them to write “Mmmbop.” Now, assuming the story takes place in the present and assuming Regina is approaching 40, that puts her date of birth in the early 1980s, so somewhere between the ages of the two eldest members of the band. Both Isaac and Taylor would have been age-appropriate crushes for someone born in, say, 1982. However, “Mmmbop” was first recorded in 1995. If whatever she did with the boys happened in 1995, Regina would have schtupped a nine-year-old (Zac’s birthday is in late 1985 so he was probably still 9 when they recorded it) and a twelve-year-old and that would make her a child predator. Not that schtupping a 15 year old (Isaac) isn’t creepy, but if she were 13 at the time, it would make him the creeper. I think they could keep the joke if they switched it to a different song that didn’t come out at the beginning of their career (like if they implied that she was responsible for a comeback album).

That being said, I do highly recommend the show. I think it speaks to a lot of people even if you’re not explicity represented by any of the characters.

(Doofenshmirtz voice)

If I had a nickel for every time one of my favorite Newsies mashed up “King of New York” with a Billy Joel song, I would have two nickels…which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Davey: *Slaps Jack’s ass with a newspaper.

Me: hehehe… fucking gays.

Hey so just a question… i saw this thing… saying that they saw Newsies being taken off March 3rd or 5th??? I went on my Netflix and nothing was on there for it being taken down but can you all just check as well and make a complaint if it’s true cause if it is true if enough of us complain they most likely will not take it down, also rate it 5 stars even if you think it was like 4 or even a 3, do it so we can still enjoy it and have it up there

Home Pt. 1 The Confusion

A/N:Hey everybody I am really really excited for this! This is a Crutchie x reader. This idea came to me at 12 am and decided to start writing it so I hope you enjoy! Just know there will be more parts to this series, I don’t know when I’ll post the 2nd part but it’ll come within reasonable timing I promise! 

WARNINGS:Angst, death, mentions of abuse, mentions of suicide, blood or wounds (idk if this one counts already with the abuse warning but I’ll just put it in there)

Summary: You had just been let go from the Refuge and meet some newsboys who seemed to be mistaken.

Word Count: 2K

You knew that this would be the end for you, after 3 long years of being locked up in the Refuge today was the day you were finally set free, though before you could enjoy your newfound freedom Snyder decided he needed to teach you one more lesson before you were let go. Afterwards he threw you into the nearest alleyway and left you there to die. There you were, hidden in an alley covered in blood, dirt and bruises from head to toe; curled up in the tightest ball your body would allow. You had tried to get further away from that horrible place you were in no shape to move anywhere far anytime soon.

“Hey are you alright?” Frightened by the sudden new voice you turned and scooted away from it, not saying a word you looked up to see a boy. He looked like one of those newsboys you would see through the window of the Refuge, the most distinctive feature you noticed about him was the kindness that radiated in his eyes but in this moment he looked more concerned. He adjusted his crutch and came a little closer to you but he kept his distance.

“You… you’se not much of a talker are you?” More silence, you weren’t sure what you wanted to say or even if you wanted to say anything at all,  “Well my name is Crutchie and-” you smirked when you heard his name, you highly doubted that it was his real name but the nickname suited him well, he took notice of your smirk and gave a little chuckle to your expression. “yeah I’se know it sounds silly but I likes it, so what happened to you? Do you have any family? Any home?” You looked down when he said that, you did have a family but you were an only child and your family was more like people you lived with instead of the loving kind where you would see the mother and the father laughing and making jokes with the kid, the kind you saw out and about around the park, things only got worse when your mom was killed in a work accident your dad couldn’t handle it and took his own life shortly after. So you were all alone and only 11. Crutchie must have picked up on your sudden sadness and stretched his hand out to you.

“Hey why don’t you come with me? I know a place where you could earn some money and get a bed.” You were a little suspicious you spent one year living on the streets before Snyder decided that you should be sent to living hell and you learned quickly never to trust anyone so quickly but just the sincere look in his eyes softened you up a bit. You reached up for his outstretched hand but after momentarily forgetting about how badly injured you were you were snapped back into reality and fell back down and noticed that one of you began to bleed again and Crutchie looked down and his eyes went wide now that you weren’t curled up in the fetal position anymore he could see how badly beat up you were,

“Oh my god I’se didn’t realize how badly beaten up you was, stay here I’m gonna get some help alright.” He left you alone in a panicked pace, limped away as fast as he could, when he was out of sight you leaned against the brick wall and took deep breaths in and out and ripped off a long piece of the rags you called clothes, and wrapped it around the spot where you bled, which had happened to be your torso and tied it tightly, wincing from the pain you looked down and saw that you momentarily stopped the bleeding. You closed your eyes and began to take deep breaths again until you heard a familiar voice and heard footsteps, multiple. With Crutchie you saw two other boys with him, you scooted away again not sure of what to make of this even though you met Crutchie you still had to keep your guard up if you wanted to survive in this world. Crutchie seemed to pick up on your suspicion, “Don’t worry these guys are here to help you.” The two boys behind you gave you a reassured look, the one on Crutchie’s right side wore a blue long sleeve and a gray vest, he looked a little bit older than you and Crutchie, more of a leader, and to on his left side another boy, probably also the same age as you, almost the same type of clothing but with a cigar dangling from his mouth unlit.

“Well I ain’t the best at medical care but the boys back at the Lodging House get hurt frequently so you pick up a few things.” The boy in the blue crouched down, “Name’s Jack Kelly.” You gave wave and and the other boy piped up and said, “Oh and I’m Race.” You gave a puzzled look towards Crutchie and he explained, “Most of the boys have nicknames like Race and I.”  

“Alright well let’s see what we’re dealing with here.” Jack pulled out bandages, cotton balls, and other forms of makeshift medical things from an old bag; you could tell that these boys probably didn’t have enough money so whatever in this bag was either traded with, made, or perhaps stolen. You noticed that Jack would try and fix you himself and that alone just made you more nervous, you never really liked physical contact and that anxiousness worsened through time, you stopped him and pointed to the stuff and then yourself hoping he would get the message that you wanted to do it yourself. After a few seconds of trying to process what you tried to tell him Jack handed you the stuff and you gave him a grateful smile. Turning to the side you began to fix your wounds. Jack turned to the other boys and talked in a hushed voice, though not hushed enough for you to overhear the conversation. Both Jack and Race grilled Crutchie on what he knew about you and why you were in the condition you were, his very obvious answer was: I don’t know. As you finished patching yourself up you tried to get up but it seemed impossible at this point, you silently cursed Snyder under your breath because you knew that all of your pain and suffering was because of him. The three boys see you try to get up and almost fall, Jack goes and tries to hold you upright and the second you come he touches you and you flinch and accidentally knock over a crate that was nearby and land back on the ground. Breathing deeply you faced the guys and they looked shocked and seemed to pity you, you silently cursed yourself for having such a reaction towards these guys, they were trying to help you.

“Listen, we’s ain’t gonna hurt you, we want to help you?” You looked up and it was Race talking to you, you gave a look that gave of how guilty you felt and Jack sat down next to you,

“Hey, its alright we aren’t gonna hurt you ok? Listen, Crutchie told us you were in the Refuge,” you look back up to Jack, knowing for a fact you did not tell any of that to Crutchie, hell, you haven’t even spoken a word to him yet, “no I mean, he thinks you were… were you?” Tears welling up you look down and nod, “I know what you’ve been through, I’ve been in there quite a few times myself.” He had been there. He also had his run-ins with Snyder, what a twisted way to share something in common with someone. “Look I’m gonna be honest with you: it’s about to get dark soon, so’s why don’t you come with us and become a newsie?” Crutchie walked closer to you and leaned down towards you, “You can make some money and get some food, also live in the Lodging House.” Race came by also, “And get some rest after what Snyder the Spider had done to you.” What was it with all the nicknames?

“So’s what do you say? You in?” Crutchie reached for your hand, you knew that this would be the best option for you, so you took his hand tried to get up this time letting Jack help up. You soon figured out that your legs were just so sore from everything Snyder had done to you, you hoped that they’ll get better with time… hopefully. You were asked multiple questions to which you replied the same way: silence. You figured it would be better this way to not say anything at all so all of your responses were either shrugs or nods.

By the time you all arrived at the Lodging House it was sunset and you could sorta walk on your own limping only a few times. You entered and you saw a big group of boys messing around, playing cards, laying on their beds, or eating some bread.

“Just wait here for a minute.” Jack turned to you and then turned back to the group of boys and yelled for their attention, “Hey! Everyone!” All of the boys settled down and turned their attention to Jack, “Alright! Now I would like you to meet our new friend and his name is… well he don’t talk much so we don’t know yet but we’ll find somethin’ for you, anyways-” Wait did he say he as in a boy? Your eyes went wide at your sudden realization: Jack, and most likely everyone in this room, thought you were a boy. You started to worry and your mind began to race thinking about the worst that could happen if they found out the truth about you. You were snapped back to reality when Crutchie touched your arm and you turned to him and he asked you, “Hey you alright?” You turned and faced his warm hazel eyes and and the softness in his smile made you suddenly glad that you chose to stay silent you simply nodded and you turned back to face Jack as he was finished wrapping up his speech, “-So let’s welcome our new member with open arms!” Everyone cheered and met you one by one, you learned that more than half of the boys had nicknames and that they all did the same thing everyday which would be sell papers and try to survive. When everything died down you went to look for a restroom and after awhile of searching you find it on the upper level where no one else was and you enter and lock the door and after 3 years of being in the Refuge you finally see yourself.

There’s so many bruises that you don’t even try to count them, there’s dried blood everywhere but what’s most distinctively different is your hair; your hair seemingly stopped growing, most likely because of the mistreatment your hair had been through with the pulling and all of the dirt in it. You decide to wash off the blood and afterwards your face is more clear but the bruises, new and old, hide your face. You knew that if the boys found out that you were actually a girl they would immediately remove you from the Lodging House, you were sure that there were rules against girls staying in a Lodging House with a bunch of boys. You looked at the mirror and saw a long shard of it was on the verge of falling out of place. Slowly you pull it out, you bring it to your hair and slice a piece to see if what you were thinking of would work. You hid the shard of glass beneath the sink and threw away the piece of hair. Was this a horrible plan? Yes. Would it work? Hopefully.

“Oh boy.”

Race: Albert is gone so I’m going to cut all the sleeves off my shirts.

Davey:Why?

Race: He’s like 85% of my impulse control.

Considering that none of Albert’s shirts have sleeves, I don’t think he would have been much help.

thaanks-pete:

Do you ever watch a video or see a picture and then gasp and say “MY BABY” when it is, in fact, NOT your baby but is actually a man in his 30s

Requested: Can you write gay Davey oneshot please

Warnings: internalized homophobia

———————————–

• Davey had known he was gay for as long as he could remember
• He hid who he was for the longest time
• Not knowing how his friends or family would react
• It wasn’t until he’d met you that he started feeling more comfortable with who he was
• Davey had seen how comfortable you were with your sexuality and he couldn’t help but admire you
• He fell for you and he fell hard
• There was no question about it
• Everyone around the both of you could see just how infatuated Davey was by you
• You were Davey’s first kiss, and it surprised you to say the least
• Davey had initiated it, and no one would have ever guessed he would have done that
• You couldn’t deny that you felt the same way about Davey 
• Your relationship with each other started not long after your first kiss
• Davey learned how to be comfortable with himself from you
• Finally seeing that him being different didn’t have to define who he was
• There were still times when Davey was a bit insecure
• But it was nothing a small kiss and some reassurance couldn’t fix
• Davey had some getting used to
• But you were his first after all
