I know we talk a lot about how many Newsies were in West Side Story, but I wanna talk about how many of them were in Cats
Look it up, a good few of them have been in different productions of Cats-
give me amputee jack. jack who got his hand mangled by a printing press and his father used the last of his money to get him to a hospital. jack has a stump at the middle of his forearm . jack sells more papers not only because he's charismatic but also because his shirt sleeve has a knot tied in it where his left hand would be. jack and crutchie who meet and become close because of their physical ailments.
oh wait so his name is both antonio AND ed

Tonight I am staring down mathematical word problems and it really is like trying to look at an eldritch horror. in a way.
My eyes hurt. My brain is warping. I feel compelled to erratically and violently discorporate and disperse as molecules across the universe. And I would honestly feel better about it if this sheet of paper at least had some extra eyes, just to justify the shit it's pulling tonight. maybe a gaping maw or two.
you know the boys carrying candles before once and for all? the ones that are singing sieze the day? what if those are the boys who died in the strike? the ones that were so beat up they didn’t make it. i’m watching livesies right now and now i can’t unthink it
im just saying katherine as a famous if somewhat controversial author, jack as the photographer of a trashy gossip mag trying to get pictures of her and davey as her stressed manager who keeps thwarting him at every turn. discuss.
crutchie who knows FAR too much about javey because every night if jack isn't at davey's house he's talking crutchie's ear off about literally EVERYTHING that happens. crutchie knows what daveys mouth tastes like and that one of his molars is chipped. crutchie knows the exact dimensions of davey's face and balls. crutchie knows. crutchie wishes he did not know because now every time he looks at Davey he cannot block the imagery.
and what if I make all the newsies in my au classically trained musicians... what then.
anyway Albert - trumpet
race - clarinet
Davey - alto sax
jack - piano/pitched percussion
crutchie - actually he's the only one who doesn't play anything .. he came along to all the band rehearsals and sat w them
