Finally, Newsies is gonna be where it belongs. On Broadway!!

Just one question though: now that Jeremy Jordan's doing Bonnie and Clyde, who will be the new Jack Kelly?

They do well and this looks like it could be good, but it seems odd that Denton is now played by a woman. The whole point of the newsies agreeing to have Denton write about their strike was to give it some legitimacy and clout, but a female reporter probably wouldn't have been given that much respect, so it kind of defeats the purpose.

@srayj you have some valid points ... all of which make sense in the show :-) Its a great twist on things.

@srayj

The character, Katharine Plummer is her name, I'm told is based on real life female reporter Nellie Bly. It was unusual at that time in history to have female reporters but I think it works very well. There's also a surprise secret about her that's revealed in the second act. So you might be surprised as well. I certainly was.

@gamesport88 Thanks for the info. I'll have to see it if I have the opportunity.

@srayj

No problem. Glad I could shed some light on a very fascinating time in American history. BTW, this show is awesome!
