- The 25th anniversary celebration of Gypsy of the Year, the culmination of six weeks of extraordinary fundraising by 56 participating Broadway, Off-Broadway and national touring companies, raised an amazing $4,343,234 for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
On December 9 and 10, 2013, the show's energetic opening number featured Klea Blackhurst as Ethel Merman comparing gypsies of her day with 18 high-kicking, modern-day gypsies representing the cast of Newsies. The number was directed and choreographed by Devanand Janki and Robert Tatad with lyrics and script by Rudetsky. Arrangements, music direction by Ben Cohn and orchestrations by Adam Michael Kaufman.

man, you have to be a gymnast to be a newsie, as it seems!
was not expecting Tyne to show up OMG i wish she would have sung the whole time
"look at you, adorable"
GIUSEPPE, YOU "BELONG" ON STAGE, WHETHER SINGING OR DANCING OR ACTING OF ALL THREE ! IT OBVIOUSLY IS YOUR "HOME AWAY FROM HOME" AND THE OTHERS EMBRACE YOU FOR YOUR SPIRIT AND TALENT. BRAVO, GIUSEPPE !
this was so satisfying to watch

"So let me take my teeth out and we'll have a real good time, yes, sir!"
Giuseppe
Amazing number!!! Also, can anyone please tell me the name of that cute Newsie in blue and black stripes? :D
+Jastelle Lapan That's Casey Garvin!
+Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS Thank you! :)
Oh yeah, he's in the current run of Miss Saigon, and he doesn't need to do much to steal a scene - he's head and shoulders above everyone else in the cast!
YEAH!!!!
Who was the newsie en pointe!?
This is really late, but I'm pretty sure that's Giuseppe Bausilio
I'm sorry, but there's no way that woman is really Ethel Merman. She's wearing a microphone, honestly... a MICROPHONE? ETHEL MERMAN? Really...
who is she
They aren't the cast of Newsies..who are these boys?
Caitlin Hsu The cast of the opening number is a group of performers from the Broadway community. In this number, there were guys from Bullets Over Broadway and Mamma Mia!, as well as some guys who ended up joining the Newsies tour!
Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS COOOOL
You're talking about the first part right? That's part of Gypsy, like the show.
+Cate Ginsberg She meant the actors
No more “gypsy” :(
I know. That's stupid. What will they do the next time they revive GYPSY? Just call it "the stripper musical" like MACBETH is often referred to as "the Scottish play" by superstitious actors who don't dare utter it's real title?
