Newsies Touring Cast Surprise Performance at El Capitan

The Touring Cast of Broadway's Newsies does a surprise (shortened) performance of "King of New York" and "Santa Fe" following a one-night only showing of the original Newsies film at El Capitan theatre in Los Angeles. I was in the second row!

Ben freaking cook

[@maddie.bolland.7]

Ben Cook has my heart honestly!!! Such a lovely performer, he's like sunshine.

[@casstheshifter2176]

Ben Cook is the most adorable, sunshiny, talented, sweet human ever!

[@ammylover1]

I WAS THERE AND I WAS CRYING CAUSE I WAS SO HAPPY THIS HAPPENED !

[@lisaslife4807]

Abandoneddreams if I was there I would have violently sobbed

[@filigree4103]

The audience ate it up

[@mosheadrion9638]

I know I can't hear him singing

[@maddie.bolland.7]

Also I adore Ben Fankhauser! No one can play Davey better than him.

I've only ever seen recordings of Jeremy Jordan's Santa Fe
Its interesting to see how different people do it. Jeremy Jordan's og will probably always be my favorite tho. I feel like this version was more angry the whole way through, while Jeremy's mellows out to sadness then throbbing pain at the end. This feels more empowering, while the og might be more a cry for help and raw-er emotionally. Ah well, just my take, both guys are great singers

Aqua Marine the four jacks (Jeremy Jordan, Corey cott, Dan deluca and Joey barriero) they are all amazing!

[@madolynsandra5451]

When they play the spoons are they actually playing spoons or are they special thingies that are meant to look like spoons

[@MissO1023]

I'm pretty sure they learned to play spoons.

[@shayekulit]

Those are actual spoons, as a hardcore fansie I've watched tid bits of their rehearsals and they are indeed playing spoons

[@honeyimback6082]

[@pansexualdisaster8473]

i’m 4 years late. Can I still be a hardcore Fansie with y’all?

[@rositaslover]

I would cry

[@katiehanna90]

Yeah, baby.

[@szaria1759]

Im very late, but is Ben playing Race here? Because it sounds a little deeper than normal at the beginning so I'm not sure

[@shaaron5665]

hi real life tears here :’)

[@christopherlara1649]

For "King of New York" did they use the broadcast recording? Because it sounds like Kara Lindsay a lot.

[@MissO1023]

Definitely not. They were all miked, and some of the lines were sung by different guys than in the actual production, because not all of them were there. I saw that touring cast, and the girl who played Sara always sounded just a little like Kara Lindsey.

[@gideondeguia2607]

They had mic if you notice at the beginning the guy singing has his mic turned off and was turned on at the middle of his line

[@nicholewalker9104]

Agree but this is still awesome

[@goodjobeli]

Ben Cook wasn't in the Broadway cast, he was in the movie because he was apart of one of the touring casts.

[@glynsbackhanspring]

.... okay one that wasn’t even close to the broadway cast. two all of the casts are GREAT AND VERY TALENTED and third stop thirsting over Ben cook

[@elizabethsavage4347]

my one question is,,, wheres wes?

[@deputyzombie8736]

What was the surprise

[@JulieHerrick]

The audience thought they were just attending a movie screening of the Newsies film, and then the live actors showed up to perform.

[@camrynguiliani4096]

[@TheWillTran]
