I never said the video was bad or that he didn't do an amazing job. I just commented that the lyrics were off in a lot of spots because I am a die hard broadway newsies fansie.
Yeah, the opening song sounded like he was singing the movie version. Also he needed to vary something during Seize the Day because the harmony sounded far too similar to each other. Like you said, not that it was a bad video, just it could have been better. (It would have been infinitely better by removing that God-awful poorly written song "Something to Believe In" and using the considerably more enjoyable "Once and For All".)
It really is! I only live about 3 hours from Chicago, but I wasn't able to see the tour version, because I literally left the country for 2 months the same time Newsies was in Chicago. I was so bummed.
I watched the movie of little shop when i was 5 , the one with the animation and i was terrified, lol know im in my teens and i still cant sleep some night because of it lololol im such a wimp
Me and my chamber choir class from school go to Broadway musicals as field trips, we sing songs from the musicals we go to and this year was Newsies and our teacher showed us this to get us excited, it really worked!
OMG I WENT TO BROADWAY TO WATCH NEWSIES AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A DRAG ND BORING CAUSE IT WAS ABOUT NEWSPAPERS BUT I WAS BLOWN AWAY WITH ALL THEIR DANCING XDD
He has to be in Disney on Broadway shows like Newsies and Disney movies. Every time he sings Disney songs it takes me back to the good old days of Disney. Just bright my face up. He can play multiple characters--such a talented person.
Okay why do I keep watching these historical fiction musical medleys when I know I'm just gonna get addicted to them GOSH DARN IT NOW I'M GOING TO WATCH THIS VIDEO A MILLION TIMES AND THEN HAVE TO WATCH THE ACTUAL PLAY!!!!!!!
My mixed choir did a Newsies Medley a few weeks ago. It was so fun dressing up as a Newsie! I can only imagine how much fun you had doing this :) Love u Nick!
I am in love with this!!! Seriously keep replaying it and singing with pitera (: he jut needs to be cast in the newsies broadway!! I would go see it in a heartbeat millions of times!!! #hugefan
OMG NEWSIES IS MY FAV MUSICAL I LOVE YOU SO MUCH NICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M CRYING RN PLEASE LET ME MEET YOU PLAS and do legally blonde the musical that'd be so great!
I saw this musical today, and I just have to say, i simply love this cover. Mr. Pitera is such an amazing and talented individual, and I think he needs more recognition.
Yes, thank you. I've known that for quite a while. I was merely asking because I know that there are people that enjoy the music from the movie better than the Broadway musical.
I didn't think it was possible to spark my excitement about FINALLY getting to see Newsies (even if it's on tour) more, but there we go. It's possible! I love Nick as Specs in the corner during Carrying the Banner! Amazing!
I have no idea how you have such a crazy vocal range, but it is simultaneously amazing and terrifying. I cannot even begin to imagine how long I would have to train to do anything even similar to what you can do!
Mr. Pitera. I want to thank you. I know you didnt write these songs, i myself grew up with them. But it is a great representation of the film/play and its tone. For the past few days i've been going through changes. Quarter/midlife crisis. Back to school after more than a decade, moving 3000 miles from the only home i've known. Your singing had helped inspire me to live up to the promises i make to my fiancee at night over google+. I've run out of room. So just thank you. This is now my anthem
Beautiful! Wish you started with "that's my cigar" "you'll steal another," though
"Hey bummers we got woik to do." "Since when did you become me mudda?"
"Oh, stop yer bawlin'" "Hey, who asked yous!?" :D
Luke Lantern That's the movie version ^.^
sarbear8919 I know and I like the Broadway variant, but I like the movie version more! :3
Luke Lantern me too! me and my sister and brother used to watch it all the time. we still randomly break out into newsies songs all the time!
I will recognize the musical immediately with that line lol
I love Newsies so much! I really wish that you had included Once and For All, that song has some really incredible sounding harmonies!
My theatre group did Newsies and the hardest but most fun was Once and For All.
Now, do this again, but add the New York-ish accent! That. Would. Be. PERFECT.
I feel like he'd be a really good Davey c:
Yessss sameeeee
ONE MAN BOOK OF MORMON. PLEASE. I foresee that your "Hello" would be AMAZING!
he need to see this comment
H*sa Diga Eebowai?
YESS
love4 gymnastics why not? And, where's the hate?
I love these songs, but I wish you had included "King of New York". :-( Would you do a cover, please?
I was disappointed he didn't do that song too, but overall, I loved that he had all the others!
Candice Frost Yeah, "King of New York" seems like exactly his kind of song
Candice Frost, I am with you 100% King of New York is my favorite song from the entire show.
Over 100%. It really should of been in here.
One Man Wicked!
I totally agree his voice would fit perfectly.
He did a Wicked melody with Peter Hollens so I don't think he'll be doing that any time soon :/
OMG YOU DID NEWSIES I LOVE YOU SO FREAKING MUCH RIGHT NOW!!!!
Re-watching this 11 years later. Amazing video!
THIS LITERALLY MADE MY WHOLE LIFE
I'll just watch this until Newsies comes to the West End
just watch the movie
xNextGenNewb the musical is WAAAAAY better than the movie though
nope I don't think so
The musical IS better!
I grew up watching and loving the movie but they are both good in their own ways.
I never said the video was bad or that he didn't do an amazing job. I just commented that the lyrics were off in a lot of spots because I am a die hard broadway newsies fansie.
Yes! it kind of bugged me
A Random Channel Read the title..
I agree is was absolutely fantastic but i too am a die hard fansie and it annoyed me a little too.
Some of the lyrics are from the movie, but most of them are from the Broadway production.
Yeah, the opening song sounded like he was singing the movie version. Also he needed to vary something during Seize the Day because the harmony sounded far too similar to each other.
Like you said, not that it was a bad video, just it could have been better. (It would have been infinitely better by removing that God-awful poorly written song "Something to Believe In" and using the considerably more enjoyable "Once and For All".)
I just saw Newsies here in Chicago and it was amazing. Such a great musical
jackluver19 I got to see them on Broadway and it was sosososo amazing!! It is my favorite musical!
I just saw it here in Chicago and it was amazing!!!
It really is! I only live about 3 hours from Chicago, but I wasn't able to see the tour version, because I literally left the country for 2 months the same time Newsies was in Chicago. I was so bummed.
I begged my mom to go see it and I throughly enjoyed it. I love musicals. Seen Wicked about 8 times..Lion King about 10....
I would pay for a full cover of Santa Fe. Just sayin'...
I was just thinking the same thing. I want Nick to do a full cover of "Santa Fe," as well as "Seize the Day."
He should be on Broadway! Because this is some insane talent!
Seize the Day has always been my favorite
Same seize the day and sata fe
Your jawline is what dreams are made of
i was waiting for the world will know :( STILL A GORGEOUS COVER THOUGH IVE SEEN THIS MULTIPLE TIMES ALREADY AND I'M IN AWE EVERY TIME
One Man Wicked, hairspray, or Little Shop of Horrors would be amazing
I watched the movie of little shop when i was 5 , the one with the animation and i was terrified, lol know im in my teens and i still cant sleep some night because of it lololol im such a wimp
LSOH❤️
LSOH YESSS
OMG LSOH!!! I need it really bad now...
Newsies is my favorite musical! I seriously cried watching this. So amazingly talented.
Not only a great singer, but your a great actor too! LOVE THIS!
SUGGESTIONS:
HAMILTON
LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS
21 CHUMP STREET
AVENUE Q
25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE
Avenue Q and 25th APCSB would be baller AF
Don't forget In the Heights! It was Lin's first musical!

I love how the "Patrick darling" stuff from the movie is there bit the rest is from the musical
I'm so glad he didn't do Letter from the Refuge. That would have hurt too much.
+PupCake1025 Letter from the Refuge is a new song exclusively for the tour version of Newsies, This was prior to the tour
SO much talent
Nick PLEASE do a one-man Into the Woods medley!!
YOU READ MY MIND
Please do agony from into the woods

fangirlingacrossthenation YES I NEED TO SEE THAT
That would be awesome!!
This is my FAVORITE Broadway medley that you have done!!! I absolutely love it!!! I love all your videos!! But I love this one the best!!!
Spending my Saturday watching all of your videos. I am so in love!
Newsies was my all time favorite musical. So glad that I heard this!
Nick Pitera is one of God's most precious gifts to this struggling world. We're so lucky to have him.
Me and my chamber choir class from school go to Broadway musicals as field trips, we sing songs from the musicals we go to and this year was Newsies and our teacher showed us this to get us excited, it really worked!
Janet Must be nice😭😭
I remember watching this video for the first time in the summer of 2012. I've been in love with Nick Pitera ever since them. #proudsubscirber
i just cried. that was so beautiful.
god, your harmonies were frickin amazing
Newsies is one of my top 3 musicals of all time and this is just spectacular. I cried a little watching this, to be honest. It's just that good. Wow.
OMG I WENT TO BROADWAY TO WATCH NEWSIES AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A DRAG ND BORING CAUSE IT WAS ABOUT NEWSPAPERS BUT I WAS BLOWN AWAY WITH ALL THEIR DANCING XDD
Please do a One-Man Rent?!
+Meg Franta YES PLEASE YES! I LOVE RENT! please don't leave la vie boheme out. It's the best song in that show besides I'll cover you!
Yes!!!!!
YES PLEASE
Omg Yes
YESSSS I WOULD DIE
WHY ISNT HE ON BROADWAY!!!!!!!!
Because I believe he works at DisneyPixar I think...........
+Jamie Nuckols does he??
+P Here Yup. As an animator I believe. But he does stuff like this with Disney on the side.
Will Katartsis yhhh
And that is the question i have been asking myself for a long time
Every time I watch Nick's videos I wonder how he's still not on Broadway
He has to be in Disney on Broadway shows like Newsies and Disney movies. Every time he sings Disney songs it takes me back to the good old days of Disney. Just bright my face up. He can play multiple characters--such a talented person.
Okay why do I keep watching these historical fiction musical medleys when I know I'm just gonna get addicted to them GOSH DARN IT NOW I'M GOING TO WATCH THIS VIDEO A MILLION TIMES AND THEN HAVE TO WATCH THE ACTUAL PLAY!!!!!!!
uhg lucky. im seeing wicked on the eighteenth and i keep torturing myself by watching the medley he did with Peter Hollens.

Could you possibly do a One Man Newsies Medley from the Disney movie of Newsies?
It's basically the same thing you know that right? This is the stage version, it's different but it's better.
Yes, thank you. I've known that for quite a while. I was merely asking because I know that there are people that enjoy the music from the movie better than the Broadway musical.
one man rent 😭😭😭
I didn't think it was possible to spark my excitement about FINALLY getting to see Newsies (even if it's on tour) more, but there we go. It's possible! I love Nick as Specs in the corner during Carrying the Banner! Amazing!
I have no idea how you have such a crazy vocal range, but it is simultaneously amazing and terrifying. I cannot even begin to imagine how long I would have to train to do anything even similar to what you can do!
u look great in glasses. you put Clark Kent to shame.
I had forgotten that you wear glasses in this video. They are totally you!!! You look good with glasses on. :)
How about RENT? I'd love to see your version of some of those songs ^^
Newsies is probably the best thing ever... And this makes it even better. ♥

Mr. Pitera. I want to thank you.
I know you didnt write these songs, i myself grew up with them. But it is a great representation of the film/play and its tone.
For the past few days i've been going through changes. Quarter/midlife crisis. Back to school after more than a decade, moving 3000 miles from the only home i've known. Your singing had helped inspire me to live up to the promises i make to my fiancee at night over google+. I've run out of room. So just thank you. This is now my anthem
a true inspiration to a fellow vocal performer keep up the good work nick =D
