Hi friends!Was curious. Currently choreographing a Newsies finale for dance studio I teach at. Any ideas for a historically accurate object to swap-out for 'cigar' in the line "Hey! That's my cigar!" at the start of Carrying the Banner? The culture of the area and studio wouldn't do well with that line - and no, we aren't using the Jr. Version because it cuts out all of that dialogue that we need at the beginning of that song. Any ideas?Thank you!!!

Thank you!! :)

Hi all!Delightful to finally make an account on here. Question for anyone: I'm a dance teacher and have developed a musical theatre program for a specific dance studio setting. Although I have musical theatre experience, most of my expertise is in dance. Was wondering if any of you could think of some scenes from any musical theatre show with dialogue that would be good for teenage girls to start exploring and practicing acting and script work?I would be very grateful for any and all response...
