The challenge was if we raised $60, they would sing Watch What Happens (Reprise) but if we raised $100, then Rob McClure would match our donation! Corey Cott also matched our donation so we raised a total of $300!
I love Corey's reaction when keeps messing up and Ben's voice is just magic, even when he messes up during "poor GUYS head is spinning" and when the crowd shouts "and we've got jack!" I was half expectig at least one person to shout at the end "and I've got a date!" anyone else think that other than me?
Meghan Robertshaw I did, honestly. I shouted it when I was on a bus back from a church conference, and everyone looked at me like I was insane. (None of them listen or watch Newsies.)
Hahaha I'm pretty sure he's actually saying "he's a r-I changed the key!" (Cause he did change the key and then went back and fixed it) SO FUNNY!!!! I love Corey Cott so much!
i love how he did the correct key change when he was like "i changed the key" and everyone laughs, but then later ben forgets the lyrics and moves it down!!! they started higher than written and ended lower hahaha!!!!
what have we learned from watching this 1: Corey can’t be put on the spot 2: Ben needs vocal warmups with POoOoR GuYS HEaD IS SPinNiNg 3: Fans know e erything better than the cast 4: AND I GOT A DATE!
My favorite moments: 0:47 ben looks confused when he waves his arms 0:57 that little voice crack from Cory 1:01 ben aggressively hitting himself 1:12 *slap* 1:15 Ben looks so proud of himself lol 1:18 that little finger wave 😂 1:28 1:34 1:38 Cory having no idea what the lyrics are 1:43 the audience helping them both out
okay so i don't know if you're actually wanting an answer or not but, speaking as an actor--when you do a show regularly, everything becomes sort of muscle memory, you don't even really have to think "what's my next line?" because it just comes as naturally as normal speaking. buuut that's when you're doing it as part of a full show, in-character, after warming up and taking a moment to get "in character" and switch from being in the headspace of "i'm an actor" to being in the headspace of "i'm this character". without doing all of that, it's actually pretty easy to mess up. plus going from singing with a full orchestral backing to singing a capella can be jarring. tl;dr a bakery is an entirely different environment than a stage and actors are creatures of habit who get thrown off by change
Marla Joseph oh, I am an actor too but have never done a show that ran for more than 2 weeks (I'm only 14). But that seems strange because other people still know the lines
He probably relies on some of the music for cues on what to say and when to say it. It's like practicing something and knowing it by heart if you do it one way, but then you do it another way and your mind goes blank.
Things I learned from obsessively watching Newsies, all versions, ten times a piece: 1. How to do a good New York accent 2. Why I'm not working in a factory rn 3. Batman can sing 4. Why snakes really rattle
Ok so this is like my fifth time watching this in a row and I just realized that in addition to “and we’ve got jack!” someone also sings Les’s “stay on track” harmony at 2:28
Jackie, you're on Broadway. You should know this. Then there's Ben who's such a little peach oh migodness. Then there's the other cast member who's like just standing there like why am I here?
