Heya! So I saw a post from @theresagoodchanceicouldfly about inside jokes, so here are some of the inside jokes in the Newsies fandom. WELCOME TO ALL THE NEW PEEPS!! We’re all so excited you’ve joined us. I’m gonna put these under the cut since there’s a lot of them. If anyone thinks of more, please let me know and I’ll add them.

Name Acronyms: AKB=Andrew Keenan-Bolger, JerJor=Jeremy Jordan, BTC=Ben Tyler Cook, DMC=DeMarius Copes

Links:

here’s the link to the 10hr version of HEAD IS SPINNING

RODGER (feat. AKB’s comment, “To be totally honest, I have no clue who Rodger is. I remember seeing that video and being like wtf?”) Rodger has become the unknown Newsie that everyone loves

A guide to who is who, and an even better guide!

A really cool post about colors/ages

Iconic videos: Bad Weather and Shopping, Unemployed, To Kiss A Girl, Max’s Mom Brought Cookie Cake (starts at 1:38), AKB’s Line, Blood Drips on Newsies Square, Sprace fanfic read by the actors, Newsies Got Swag

Prom Queen Videos: Tommy, Ryan, Garret

54 Below shows: 2016, 2017, 2018 (also just look up any of these individual songs/videos, there are so many that are so amazing!!)

Venn Diagrams: Corey/Laura/JerJor, AKB/Ben/Mike/Michael Park

Other things to be aware of:

Weird posts include things like comparing the newsies to animals (like Race being a beaver), Albert eating glass for fun, and Juck (don’t ask)

We all agree that Ben Cook is cute and such, but please respect his privacy, appreciate him for his talent as well, and don’t ever ask other people to do something for Ben or to get Ben included in the picture/livestream.

Be careful posting about the Delancey brothers; some people think they’re the worst thing ever, some construct a tragic backstory of abuse/neglect and romanticize them

Most of the versions have girl newsies, called girlsies or news-shes, although the Live version does not

We often call ourselves “fansies”

There is a 1992 movie feat. Christian Bale as Jack

In the movie Davey has a sister named Sarah. She is not in the stage adaptation. And Katherine is not in the movie version. Most people agree that both exist and are happy with that (and many people ship them together too!)

There are bootlegs around for just about all the casts, although no one has found a video format of BTC as Crutchie

Letter from the Refuge wasn’t in the original Broadway show because it was written while on tour.
