The reason it isn't on the cast recording is because it was add to the show for the tour so it wasn't originally even apart of the musical when the cast recording was recorded back in 2012
The fact he just accepts that he’s gonna be in there makes me cry. How he tells the rest of the Newsies to look out for each other and too almost forget about him. Thank you for uploading. God Crutchie, don’t make me cry like that again.
This song broke me when I first heard it, but I'm glad it was added. I remember watching the musical for the first time years ago, and I actually thought Crutchie had died after he was hauled off.
I had only ever listened to the soundtrack before I watched the live version, so when this song came i just got ROUNDHOUSE KICKED IN THE STOMACH WITH THIS EMOTIONAL GUTBOMB
ShaylinAnimates well since I don’t actually do it, I watch. But we determined a group of cast members that could actually do the flips and special stuff and gave them little featured dances. But every newsie except me and a couple others do dances too. Lol it’s super complicated but we try.
The Dragon Doodler thank you. apparently they are having everyone submit a video of a scene, film a tap and jazz audition and film a song then doing video chat callbacks.
I’m seeing all these people in the comments saying how they’re performing in Newsies and my school doesn’t even have a drama club and there’s no community theaters near me, my chorus teacher was looking for a show to do and I asked about newsies and apparently it costs the whole budget she’s given for the year lol
Its crazy that over a year ago a friend of mine told me that though I was female, I'd make an incredible Crutchie and I had the audacity to not know who he was. Now I am here. Sobbing after Andrew sings the first sentence of this song, and being head over heals for both Ben Fankhauser and Ben Cook lmao
This has been really helpful for me to learn the song, since my school is doing Newsies and I'm Crutchy. And i think was put at Crutchy because i made people cry during my addiction
Because he sounds like he's accepting his fate and nearly giving up. His thus-far ever-present optimism is falling away as he realizes that he may have seen his brothers for the last time...
I miss the rooftop Sleeping right out in the open In your penthouse in the sky There's a cool breeze blowin', even in July Anyway, so guess what! There's this secret escape plan I've got! Tie a sheet to bed, toss the end out the window Climb down then take off like a shot!
same! but us girls are lucky when it comes to crutchie, becasue iv'e seen so many school versions or community theatres making crutchie a girl, i think it really doesn't matter
@@alldatimerck6790 how do you know? I mean we're not on broadway, and it can't really hurt. And yeah, where do you find like 30 guys in a school theatre
I saw a stunning performance of Newsies earlier this year, and guess what? Crutchie was played by a girl and she made everyone in the theatre sob. Don't let people hold you back girly. You are capable of doing amazing things.

I'm playing Albert in our school musical...even the Junior version hits hard, but thid hits harder. I started crying over this beautiful song. NEEDS TO BE IN THE RECORDING
i am auditioning for crutchie in a few weeks! i am a girl with a strong tenor voice and belt, but im trying not to get my hopes up too high because im a girl auditioning for a guys part. but im giving it my best shot with this as my audition song!!
I just got cast as cruchie in newsies jr I’m bummed bc I wanted to Katherine but listening to this song made me rethink it bc crutchie is literally the cutest character
[CRUTCHIE, spoken] Dear Jack (sung) How are you?

Addie Maine learn how to walk with a fake limp without hurting yourself (keep your leg straight and use the crutch). Also listen to the songs, learn how to sing them first and get the notes. After this you can focus on the accent. Good luck...anything you need theatre wise I can help you! 👍
Colorado CC'S thank you so much!! I am not even sure our show will even happen. With everything going on with Covid-19. But I am holding on. Thank you again!
Hey! The best bit of advice I can offer is to keep a clear head. Make sure you don't get bogged down on the accent or the limp, because in an audition, they are testing to see what you can do. If (and when) you get the part, they(your peers and directors) will all work with you on the secondary aspects of Crutchie. Make sure you know your lines and can hit the notes. Always be respectful to your peers and directors cause a funny saying I have used to dictate the way I face problems for years is, "You are always auditioning." Which means, even before the audition while safe in your home, anything bad you do will make its way up the grape vine to your superiors. I may not know you, but just know you have someone in your corner my friend. I believe in you
I wanna do newsies but my school doesnt do musicals ever and we currently have like 10 people is theatre. Im praying that next year we will either get more people or maybe the choir kids wanna join in the musical. We probably wont do a musical ever.
im trying to sing this for auditions in 2 weeks and like, j sound good with this playing, but as soon as i turn it off i sound like a dying donkey. kdjdjdndn
For some reason, (even though he says brother) I get a vibe from this moment especially that Crutchie may have had a crush on Jack? Just the way the actor sings the heartfelt lyrics so dreamily feels like it fits so well. I think that may be a interesting way to look at the character, considering there doesn't seem to be any obviously LGBTQ+ characters in this musical. I just get a vibe from Crutchie which is hard to explain, but it feels like in this scene the lyrics were sung for a love intrest. The lyrics also can be really heartfelt dedication to a brother. Overall, I really thought this moment was touching.
i just got crutchie in my school play and u literally cannot sing. i’m an awful singer and idk why he gave me to part. i’m supposed to learn this by tiesday 😭
The fact this isn’t in the album is really sad. It’s such an amazing song.
Yeah
This is my favorite song In the whole show
Agreed
@@iditne1096 it’s my favorite one too. It makes no sense why it isn’t in the album
The reason it isn't on the cast recording is because it was add to the show for the tour so it wasn't originally even apart of the musical when the cast recording was recorded back in 2012
The 2 dislikes were from the Delancey brothers
sensitive. enjolras I agree
😤😤😤😂😂 back off hater bullys
ive been summoned
The others are from Pultizer, Snyder, Weasel and Pulitzer's employees
@@earthsm1ghtiestnerds I agree
The fact he just accepts that he’s gonna be in there makes me cry. How he tells the rest of the Newsies to look out for each other and too almost forget about him. Thank you for uploading. God Crutchie, don’t make me cry like that again.
Yes same!
“The end. Your friend.... your best friend.... your brother, crutchie.” 😭
Crying 😭
The username....
My school is doing Newsies for our musical. My boyfriend got crutchie and he had made everyone cry with this song😭
Awe I'm so glad that he got the part and it's moving everyone!!!
My school is doing a musical for the Newsies, and I got a callback for Cruchie so I went to check for any songs he sings
Good for him
Yep
@@rowho8380 OMG SAMEEEEE
This song broke me when I first heard it, but I'm glad it was added. I remember watching the musical for the first time years ago, and I actually thought Crutchie had died after he was hauled off.
Crutchie: Dear ja-
Me: 😭
Yep me
I had only ever listened to the soundtrack before I watched the live version, so when this song came i just got ROUNDHOUSE KICKED IN THE STOMACH WITH THIS EMOTIONAL GUTBOMB
I just wish this was on the album
Same
I’m playing Crutchie in my school musical and I did it today in rehearsal and everyone was crying
Omg cool!! I would have probably cried too
Same man!!
Same
Rebekah Janes since your school is doing newsies, I’d like to know, how do they handle all the coreo? Like, all the flips and stuff.
ShaylinAnimates well since I don’t actually do it, I watch. But we determined a group of cast members that could actually do the flips and special stuff and gave them little featured dances. But every newsie except me and a couple others do dances too. Lol it’s super complicated but we try.
Crutchie is my boy
I’m auditioning for newsies at my school I hope get him wish me luck!
Do you know how you did?
uh- update?? :))
i hope you did well. i’m auditioning for crutchie i’m a couple weeks (online auditions are to be sent in then)
@@fearfullyqueer Online auditions ? Sounds interesting, how does it work exactly? What about others with poor mic quality?
And I hope you get em'!
The Dragon Doodler thank you. apparently they are having everyone submit a video of a scene, film a tap and jazz audition and film a song then doing video chat callbacks.
The 4 dislikes is Pulitzer, Hurst, ad the Delancey brothers
I JUST GOT THE PART AS CRUTCHIE!!❤️
Congrats!
me too fam!!!!!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!🎉🎊
ayyy crutchie ganging up in this bitch
Lucky
I’m seeing all these people in the comments saying how they’re performing in Newsies and my school doesn’t even have a drama club and there’s no community theaters near me, my chorus teacher was looking for a show to do and I asked about newsies and apparently it costs the whole budget she’s given for the year lol
oh no.I hope you get to do this show eventually
I’m playing Crutchie in my schools production of Newsies and I swear I won’t be able to do this justice
You can give it your own spin!
Ugh why isn’t this in the recording? I love it, it is really sad but it sounds so beautiful 💓
its super amazing but its not in the recording because it was added during the tour after the recording
Its crazy that over a year ago a friend of mine told me that though I was female, I'd make an incredible Crutchie and I had the audacity to not know who he was. Now I am here. Sobbing after Andrew sings the first sentence of this song, and being head over heals for both Ben Fankhauser and Ben Cook lmao
This has been really helpful for me to learn the song, since my school is doing Newsies and I'm Crutchy. And i think was put at Crutchy because i made people cry during my addiction
im glad i could help! and congrats on your part!
Do you mean Cruthchie and audition? Not to be mean tho
I only make myself cry while I sing this also my school is not doing newsies were doing Aladdin but I would much rather do newsies yup lucky duckling
got cast as crutchie, my dream role. so now i must listen to this on repeat. darn :-)
If you listen very closely at 0:55 you can hear my heart shattering into a million pieces
Lol
Tell me why I cant listen to the end without crying
Charles Pelletier because Newsies is just that good
Because he sounds like he's accepting his fate and nearly giving up. His thus-far ever-present optimism is falling away as he realizes that he may have seen his brothers for the last time...
Charles Pelletier because the song is the best I'm audition and using this song
If you didn't, I'd be worried its human nature to cry when our little crutchie baby is sad
Cause you WEAK
Nah this play has some emotional songs like this and the 2nd Sante fe
God, I love crutchie so muchhhh
We are doing newsies and this kid got crutchie, he sings so amazing and has made me almost cry like every week 😭
cause so far they aint brung us no food
haha
Me: sobbing
I am going to sing this for my drama final and get dressed up in the Costume so excited 😆
Im using this for my audition. thanks so much for uploading this.
No problem. How did it go?
@@blimey40 good lol. i ended up getting a delancey brother. ( Oscar. )
The 6 dislikes are Pulitzer, Hearst, Wiesel, Snyder, and the Delancey brothers lol
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
I performed Newsies in my high school production. Was lucky enough to get casted as crutchie. I tear up every time I hear this song. So beautiful.
I’m playing crutchie for my high school musical and I’m really excited to sing this
IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE
I’m trying out for crutchie today! Wish me luck!
Big Red Outdoors how’d it go?
sorry for late reply, how did you do?
He didn’t make it. He committed suicide.
@@alldatimerck6790 ok but like suicide isnt a joke
I miss the rooftop
Sleeping right out in the open
In your penthouse in the sky
There's a cool breeze blowin', even in July
Anyway, so guess what!
There's this secret escape plan I've got!
Tie a sheet to bed, toss the end out the window
Climb down then take off like a shot!
Oh man the memories! Great now I’m crying!
When I get to high school I wanna play crutchie even tho I’m a girl (if they do newsies)
I hope you get to!
same! but us girls are lucky when it comes to crutchie, becasue iv'e seen so many school versions or community theatres making crutchie a girl, i think it really doesn't matter
You’ll never get to play HIM
@@alldatimerck6790 how do you know? I mean we're not on broadway, and it can't really hurt. And yeah, where do you find like 30 guys in a school theatre

잭에게 보호소에서 보내는 따뜻한 편지"
별일은 없었니 그럭저럭 난 견딜만해
하도 맞아서 아프지만
"아맞다 잭.나야 크러치 니 친구"
여긴 참 별루야
맨날 욕하고 때리거든
음식맛은 좀 괜찮나봐
밥을 안줘서 문제지만
많이 그리워
새벽 별빛 아래 누워 편히 잠들던 옥상
시원하게 감싸주던 바람도
어쨌든 있잖아 탈출계획을 짜고있어
이불을 묶어서 창밖에 던지고 내려가면 성공이야
계획은 이런데 아직 실행은 못할듯해
야 그 퓰리처 꼴 좋더라
근데 이제는 다 귀찮아
그냥 떠나고싶어
맑고 깨끗한 하늘과 한없이 넓은 초원
마음대로 별도 볼 수 있는 곳
기차타고
"여기 정말로 싫어"
아니야 괜찮아 근데 하나만 부탁할게
우린 서로를 지키는 가족이라고 했던 말
절대 잊지마 나를 위해 아무리 힘들어도
이만 쓸게
니친구. 니형제. 크러치
crutchie is the best character in the show and has the best song in the musical and this didnt make it to the album.

Dear jack,Greeting from the refuge
Sun Child how are you? I’m ok. Guess I wasn’t much help yesterday
Synder soaked me real good with my crutch
Fandom Trash Oh yeah Jack, this is Crutchie by the way
Sophia Brown These here guards, they is rude
Fandom Trash they say jump boy you jump or you’re screwed
My school is doing newsies in the spring and I hope we have this song in the soundtrack

I ain't slept, and my leg still ain't right
Hey but, Pulitzer, he's goin' down!
And then Jack, I was thinking we might just go, like you was sayin'
Where it's clean and green and pretty
With no buildings in your way
And you're riding Palominos, every day!
Once that train makes-

Shhh!
[CRUTCHIE, spoken]
Damn this place

But there's one thing I need you to do
On the rooftop you said that a fam'ly looks out for each other
So you tell all the fellas from me, to protect one another!
Crutch i e my bb no
I'm playing Albert in our school musical...even the Junior version hits hard, but thid hits harder. I started crying over this beautiful song. NEEDS TO BE IN THE RECORDING
Who is Albert? Sounds like a knockoff Skittery. Either way, I’m sure you did good with the part you had.
Im putting this on loop for the next hour to memorize it. Wish me luck so I’m not sobbing by the end.
I'm live in Japan and got Crutchie in my university musical project.
I'll do my best! I love you deeply Crutchie!!
this song makes me cry every time i listen😔
I cry every time I listen to this song or watch this part in the musical
to all the people who wanna play crutchie, break a leg. i know you’ll do good
1:31 putting this here for me :)
i am currently singing this at the top of my lungs in my backyard (sorry neighbours)
I did this for a school musical and EVERY TIME my good friend who played Crutchie sang this I would cry hard
Alright, I have to get this down. I'm auditioning with this song. Wish me luck!!!
My school is doing newsies and I am trying out for Crutchie. Wish me luck!
1 year later (I'm writing a letter nightly) how'd it go
The audacity they have to not put it in the soundtrack when it is the best song..... How rude
i am auditioning for crutchie in a few weeks! i am a girl with a strong tenor voice and belt, but im trying not to get my hopes up too high because im a girl auditioning for a guys part. but im giving it my best shot with this as my audition song!!
I want to play crutchie someday.
I'm a girl, do you think a theater might do blind casting?
Yes, if it's for school or a community
Time to cry! :)
I’m hoping to play Crutchie in my schools upcoming production of Newsies! Wish me luck!
I just got cast as cruchie in newsies jr I’m bummed bc I wanted to Katherine but listening to this song made me rethink it bc crutchie is literally the cutest character
i got crutchie for my schools musical! its so funny because hes my favorite character and its such a fun character to play :DDD
