bjivie, I don't think a recording exists of the song (which is a shame, because I'd like to hear it...). In the original script (which is different from the movie script), all it says is: "SARAH pulls her robe around her and begins to sing the BALLAD: "WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE BOY?"". Maybe they still have the music lying around somewhere and they'll be able to put it in this version. Updated On: 1/4/05 at 12:00 PM

Son of a gunn, wasn't the 2000 film musical "Geppetto" with score by Stephen Schwartz produced by Disney? I may be mistaken though.

there actually is a recording, but it isnt sold in stores anymore. My mom ordered a copy from Borders and they got one in for me, but by that time i already found someone to make me a copy of theirs. I love "King of New York".

i saw NEWSIES! ok, it doesn't QUITE live up to the hype that it's gotten here, but i was VERY entertained. who wouldn't enjoy all that cute boys singing and dancing in the streets of new york? the crowd scenes were amazing.

now, would someone please tell me how i can get the song SANTE FE out of my head?!

Sure I'll tell you. Here's what my favorite math teacher of all time says if you get a song stuck in your head just start singing the chicken dance and it works everytime. Of course this is the man who would sing songs from WSS every morning at seven o'clock just to annoy me. Lol.

We watched NEWSIES on Christmas and noticed that Trey Parker (Southpark) was in the show as one of the Newsies. Thought that was interesting.

Would be a great stage show with some tweaks. But where would a school or comminuty theatre find all those triple threat boys?????

Posted: 1/17/05 at 2:56am

that would be why it would be mostly cast of gals in drag.. lol

Just wanted to clarify that they are 2 different Trey Parkers. Trey Mckay Parker is in Newsies. He's now singing with The Most Valuable Players, according to http://trey.zacharywoodlee.com/Bio.html

Actually, the Trey Parker in Newsies isn't the Trey Parker of South Park fame. Newsies's Parker used to be in a boy band called EYC, though.

Anyone go to the BKLN live performance at Virgin? Anyone ELSE notice Aaron Lohr standing by the escalator? WOO HOO

[JulesReverie]

Posted: 1/22/05 at 6:34pm

OMG I love Newsies! Aaron Lohr was hot then and is hot now, same with Christian Bale, hell most of those boys aged well. It it a shock that Disney hasn't put it on stage yet, the only thing going for this musical is an hour long script for school plays, such a shame. Doesn't Disney know how much money they can get from this gem?! And apparentely the only reason they wouldn't put it on stage is because it's a play where the mojority of the cast is kids, and that's a problem? It wasn't a problem for the movie in 1992 where most of the cast were eighteen and over, they only had like ten kids underage(except for the ending)

OMG! I remember EYC!!! I saw them at my very first Backstreet Boys concert in 1999 (i saw them 9 times after that... I know I should be ashamed)! I remember EYC was their opening act... we hated them sooo much.

Anyway... Newsies should TOTALLY be devolped for the stage. It would be such a great show for disney to do on Broadway. I've done songs for it and I've played a boy and its sooooo much fun. I have only wonderful memories of the staging of that song. and I would go see it right away! Newsies rock!

Christian Bale = total cutie

[cturtle]

Posted: 1/22/05 at 8:42pm

got to see CHRISTIAN BALE again last nite in SWING KIDS. but i totally didn't like it when he was smashing ROBERT SEAN LEONARD's face in :/ it was a moving film, though. i cried.

My first college roomate loved Newsies -- and even though I knew the song "King of New York", I had never seen it. Well, she sat me down and I watched it. I borrowed it from her a million times afterwards.

I really enjoyed it. And seriously? It NEEDS to be a stage musical. It may not be the best movie or musical ever. But I think it would come to life so well on stage.

Being a dancer, I would love to see Newsies on Broadway. That would be such a fun show to dance in or choreograph! :)

I've seen it done but it was like a home wriiten illegal show.IT sort of sucked but when it is on broadway I'm gonna be first in line to see it,
