jeremy and kara will forever be my favorite jack and katherine. their chemistry and the way they play off their characters and their relationship development is PHENOMENAL. and even when i'm not looking at it, i can *feel* the passion in a such a raw realistic way
I think when actors are performing a song live, you can often hear the expression and emotion in their voice more. Its almost like the raw version is more interesting to listen to, rather than the professional studio version that has perfect vocals. Regardless, this Newsies cast are able to sound perfect in every performance, live or in the studio. I keep coming back to this play. Newsies is special and the cast is nothing short of spectacular. It makes me feel something, to say the very least.
What I love most about Kara Lindsay is that unlike so many current Broadway leading ladies, she doesn’t need to make huge crazy riffs, she doesn’t need to do insane belts, or need jaw dropping vibrato. She doesn’t need to do anything besides sing. She is naturally gifted and so incredible, there is something just so unpretentious and raw about her that is so refreshing. She certainly gives me something to believe in.
I agree!! Her voice is raw, real, and passionate. She has a natural beauty in her voice without being flashy with it (although I’m not discounting any other actresses!). She’s my favorite Broadway actress for many reasons, and that’s just one of them.
So I was listening to Newsies while talking to my best friend, and she told me that she liked this boy I've literally liked forever, then I decided to come back to this song to cry it out
okay but can we realize that Jack said "I need to hold onto something" because he's tired of loosing people in his life. Like fore example, his parents and crutchie when he got taken to the refuge.
Ikr I don’t even hardly bother listening to that version but now I’m replaying this over and over again starting from about 2:58 because it’s just so so so beautiful I love their vocals. The harmonies are on point, and THE INSTRUMENTAL WITH THE TRUMPETS IM SCREAMING ITS SO GORGEOUS
Me: "This song right here, officers." Them: "Why this one?" Me: "See, it hurt my feelings." Them: "How?" Me: "It called me suuuuper single in 1000 different languages." Them: "..." Me: "..."
It totally gets me too, the change on the quality of the voice from spoken to sung is so beautiful. Like he releases whats inside him :)) althought he's a poor unqualified young man he's really sensitive, clever and talented.
It didn't go as well as I wanted but it still went pretty well!! (I messed up my last belt in Watch What Happens) but I was still cast!! Someone INCREDIBLE got Katherine! I'm playing on of the show girls in the bowery and possibly a newsie in act 2!
I like how they act this scene - they both laugh at the cheesy "someone sweet passing by" line, and also the "I'm pretty scared of you. - Don't be!". You could, of course play that overly dramatic and romantic, but I prefer it like this. It shows Jack and Katherine have fun together.
[JACK, spoken] I'm scared tomorrow's gonna come and change everything. If there was a way I could grab hold of something, just to make time stop so's I could just keep lookin' at you [KATHERINE, spoken] You snuck up on me, Jack Kelly. I never even saw it coming. [JACK, spoken] For sure? [KATHERINE, spoken] For sure. [sung] 'Til the moment I found you I thought I knew what love was Now I'm learning what is true That love will do what it does The world finds ways to sting you And then one day decides to bring you Something to believe in For even a night One night may be forever But that's alright That's alright And if you're gone tomorrow What was ours still will be I have something to believe in Now that I know you believed in me [JACK, sung] We was never meant to meet And then we meet Who knows why? One more stranger on the street Just someone sweet passing by An angel come to save me Who didn't even know she gave me Something to believe in For even a day One day may be forever But that's okay That's okay And if I'm gone tomorrow What was ours still will be I have something to believe in Now that I know you believed in me [BOTH] Do you know what I believe in? Look into my eyes and see [JACK, spoken] If things were different... [KATHERINE, spoken] If you weren't going so Santa Fe... [JACK, spoken] Yeah, and if you werent an heiress. And your father wasn't after my head. [KATHERINE, spoken] You're not really scared of my father. [JACK, spoken] No... But I am pretty scared of you. [KATHERINE] Don't be! [JACK] And if I'm gone tomorrow [KATHERINE] What was ours still will be [BOTH] I have something to believe in Now that I know you believed in me [JACK] I have something to believe in [BOTH] Now that I know you believed in me
