NEWSIES at The Pantages: Review

I went to "Newsies" last night and am still radiating happiness from the experience. The dancing was incredible. I went with my tap class (more on that another time) and we all left feeling inspired and totally jazzed -- there was definitely a bit of flapping and shuffle-hops on the way to the car. I'd loved the movie as a kid but had forgotten all of its plot (like the whole strike business AKA the entire point), but sitting in my seat inside the gorgeous Pantages Theatre in Hollywood, I got to experience the warmth that comes with things half-remembered tugging at your heart.



It was also cool that the show I saw was packed with a much younger audience than is usual for theater (and there were even a handful of fans dressed up as newsies -- it was adorable). The whole night was nostalgia-filled and maybe that's what's influencing my extremely positive experience of it all, but the show is only playing for another week so go and see it.



And then ask me about my adult beginners tap class so that we can take the next session together.
