>>10 bucks tells me that even 10-15 years ago when Hugh Jackman was 22-27 (he's 37 now) he still looks like a tall drink of water and did not remotely seem like a teen...

If you go here:

You can see pictures of Hugh at age 27 - they are pictures of him on his first job - the Australian TV series "Correlli" (where he met his wife - who played Esther Jacobs in "Newsies").

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.

This would really be awesome. I would draw a lot of families and give a lot of great male dancers a job!

Christian Bale can sing. Haven't you ever seen Empire of the sun?

I was in a messed up production of Newsies as Spot Conlon. While our adaptation wasn't good, I bet with the right people it could do really well.

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."

"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.

When I saw the title of this thread, my first thought was, "If Newsies went to Broadway, I would go into a happy-induced coma!"

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!
