In Rehearsal with "Newsies"

www.playbill.com/multimedia/video As the cast of "Newsies" prepares for the jump from New Jersey's Paper Mill Playhouse to Broadway's Nederlander Theatre, there is still much to rehearse. In this behind-the-scenes peek, the company breaks out their tap shoes to work on the updated-for-Broadway Christopher Gattelli choreography.

I like how Kara is the only one who looks like she completely know what she’s doing

[@alexmoore7207]

I only saw a hand running through hair and my body just whispered "Mike".

[@susanmumau7424]

Why does he have a water jug?

[@chimmyinseoul7304]

I thought the same thing lol.

[@PupCake1025]

It's a high energy number, he wants to stay hydrated, and either didn't have time to put it down before they started again or decided to have it on him in case he needed to get a drink.
There's always one super energetic person who would probably pass out if they didn't drink at least a gallon of water at every rehearsal, in my experience. They're also usually the best dancers because they're putting 1000% effort into every move, so I can't really poke any fun at them.

[@miseltoe1]

to practise holding a weight, he probably has to dance while holding something heavy

[@jameshero5755]

water shortage...

[@crashvds777]

This makes me realize how much I miss tapping.

[@PresidentShum]

Just keep looking at Ryan Steele.... And Kara. That's all for right now.

[@FrankieinDC]

We loved it.

[@masontrent5543]

harpejify Hey, thanks! I double checked at the Internet Broadway Database. The Dance Captain was Ryan Steele. BTW: I ama choreographer and life long musical theatre fan. I've never seen dancing as amazing as I saw in "Newsies!"
