Over 3 decades since he made the original ''Newsies'' movie, Emmy winner Kenny Ortega directs an updated video with choreography by Tony winner Sergio Trujillo.

Featuring folks from the 2012 Broadway cast of ''Newsies,'' including Ben Fankhauser, Kara Lindsay, Andrew Keenan-Bolger and Tommy Bracco, and more.

FYI, the newly penned lyrics for this video were written by Tony winners Jack Feldman and Harvey Fierstein. .... And if you're a fan of the original 1992 ''Newsies,'' it was fun to see the character of Denton, the journalist, again. Bill Pullman played him in the movie, and John Behlmann, in the video.

Is that Antonio Cipriano filling in for Jeremy Jordan's Jack?

By the way, if that's Josh Strobl as Jack, thanks!

I saw him go on for Brody Grant at ''The Outsiders.''
