I didn't know this until I was already watching the finale of Rising Star (Go Jesse!) and mourning Newsies and their final performance on Broadway. (WAH!) Womp womp.
Oh well.
Apparently Beyonce was awesome - so go her. And Taylor Swift can't dance... neither of these things are new I don't think. So... I didn't really miss much, right?
Sadly though, with it being Music Monday and all, it probably would have been an awesome way to get material for today's blog post. Whoops.
HOWEVER I do have a Newsies song to save the day! (Or seize the day as the case may be?) This show has been running on Broadway since 2012 and I went to see it that year and it was AMAZING. It has it's final performance yesterday and I know a lot of people are sad to see it go.
But there's good news! Newsies is going on tour and I have full intentions of seeing it here in Chicago when it arrives in December/January.
In honor of the show, here is their amazing Tony Awards performance from 2012. Featuring one of the loves of my life - Jeremy Jordan (Jack Kelly), the incredible dancing of Ryan Steele (Specs), the loveable Andrew Keenan-Bogler (Crutchie) and the rest of the original cast.
Now, pardon me as I go wear my Newsies cap, watch the movie, and go through my book about them and cry.
You didn't miss anything with the VMA's. ;) I have got to look up if/when Newsies is coming to Pgh. I've heard nothing but raves about it and am so anxious to see it!
