If Newsies went to Broadway... — Page 2

If Newsies went to Broadway or was remade into another movie again, I think Drake Bell should play David Jacobs. His voice is okay and I think he could act the part well. I don't know who should play Jack Kelly though. Nathan Lane might be good as the guy who's always selling the papers. I forget his name, but the character's kind of overweight. Does anyone know who I'm talking about? I think he works with the guy who Jack Kelly works for near the end.

Harvey Fierstein HAS to be Wiesel (sp?). The character in the movie even has a vaguely Fierstein look about him. Plus he could have some ridiculous song added for him.

It's also just fun imagining Harvey saying Wiesel's lines. "How many times have I told you boys?! It's MISTER *does that thing where his voice drops deeply down* WIESEL."

Actually, EricSalvi, Bale was dubbed for Empire of the Sun.

"Harvey Fierstein HAS to be Wiesel (sp?). The character in the movie even has a vaguely Fierstein look about him. Plus he could have some ridiculous song added for him. "

I'm not really a fan of the movie, but my roommates love it. Fortunately, they also love my Harvey impression, and don't mind me repeating every one of Weisel's lines in Harvey voice.

Wow, that's one of the first actually decent youtube videos I've ever seen. For a bunch of non-professional frat boys, that was really, really good.

Our 8th Grade chorus sang "Seize the Day" for graduation last night. I love that song!
