I know lots of NEWSIES fanatics, and I sympathize...and I think it actually would work better on stage (one reason the film flopped was that the numbers looked "stagy.") But the title has now been branded "flop" and no stage producer would want to be associated with it.

I'm still longing for a CITY OF ANGELS movie, myself. It needs some retooling, but it would work MUCH better on screen than onstage, and it has a great score and marvellous one-liners. (It's also set in that stylized Hollywood era where people were allowed to just burst into song whenever they wanted to.)

I absolutely LOVE Newsies!
realistically- it won't be on Broadway anytime soon
first, someone actually has to make a legit production of it that makes money

if they need young kids-- i'll do it! and in this case, i would be honored to be a boy

in 8th grade, a group of us spent our entire math class all year staging the show and drawing sets..... obsessed much?

Wow, I'd say obsessed. I haven't seen that movie in ages.
