The fact this isn’t in the album is really sad. It’s such an amazing song.

The 2 dislikes were from the Delancey brothers

The fact he just accepts that he’s gonna be in there makes me cry. How he tells the rest of the Newsies to look out for each other and too almost forget about him. Thank you for uploading. God Crutchie, don’t make me cry like that again.

“The end. Your friend.... your best friend.... your brother, crutchie.” 😭

My school is doing Newsies for our musical. My boyfriend got crutchie and he had made everyone cry with this song😭

Crutchie: Dear ja- Me: 😭

I just wish this was on the album

This song broke me when I first heard it, but I'm glad it was added. I remember watching the musical for the first time years ago, and I actually thought Crutchie had died after he was hauled off.

I had only ever listened to the soundtrack before I watched the live version, so when this song came i just got ROUNDHOUSE KICKED IN THE STOMACH WITH THIS EMOTIONAL GUTBOMB

I'm an actor, and use this song to help me cry on command. I'm getting better at it lmao

Crutchie is my boy I’m auditioning for newsies at my school I hope get him wish me luck!

Ugh why isn’t this in the recording? I love it, it is really sad but it sounds so beautiful 💓

I’m playing Crutchie in my school musical and I did it today in rehearsal and everyone was crying

The 4 dislikes is Pulitzer, Hurst, ad the Delancey brothers

I JUST GOT THE PART AS CRUTCHIE!!❤️

I’m seeing all these people in the comments saying how they’re performing in Newsies and my school doesn’t even have a drama club and there’s no community theaters near me, my chorus teacher was looking for a show to do and I asked about newsies and apparently it costs the whole budget she’s given for the year lol

I’m playing Crutchie in my schools production of Newsies and I swear I won’t be able to do this justice

Its crazy that over a year ago a friend of mine told me that though I was female, I'd make an incredible Crutchie and I had the audacity to not know who he was. Now I am here. Sobbing after Andrew sings the first sentence of this song, and being head over heals for both Ben Fankhauser and Ben Cook lmao

This has been really helpful for me to learn the song, since my school is doing Newsies and I'm Crutchy. And i think was put at Crutchy because i made people cry during my addiction

got cast as crutchie, my dream role. so now i must listen to this on repeat. darn :-)

If you listen very closely at 0:55 you can hear my heart shattering into a million pieces

Tell me why I cant listen to the end without crying

cause so far they aint brung us no food haha Me: sobbing

God, I love crutchie so muchhhh

IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE

I am going to sing this for my drama final and get dressed up in the Costume so excited 😆

We are doing newsies and this kid got crutchie, he sings so amazing and has made me almost cry like every week 😭

I’m trying out for crutchie today! Wish me luck!

The 6 dislikes are Pulitzer, Hearst, Wiesel, Snyder, and the Delancey brothers lol

I’m playing crutchie for my high school musical and I’m really excited to sing this

When I get to high school I wanna play crutchie even tho I’m a girl (if they do newsies)

crutchie is the best character in the show and has the best song in the musical and this didnt make it to the album. im not pissed, no, i just want to have a friendly chat with some people :)

Im using this for my audition. thanks so much for uploading this.

I performed Newsies in my high school production. Was lucky enough to get casted as crutchie. I tear up every time I hear this song. So beautiful.

I miss the rooftop Sleeping right out in the open In your penthouse in the sky There's a cool breeze blowin', even in July Anyway, so guess what! There's this secret escape plan I've got! Tie a sheet to bed, toss the end out the window Climb down then take off like a shot!

Oh man the memories! Great now I’m crying!

Let’s start something: Dear jack,Greeting from the refuge

Crutch i e my bb no

to all the people who wanna play crutchie, break a leg. i know you’ll do good

The audacity they have to not put it in the soundtrack when it is the best song..... How rude

I'm live in Japan and got Crutchie in my university musical project. I'll do my best! I love you deeply Crutchie!!

I got you with a shout out you played a good song I give shout outs to Peaple with like 2 6 8 or something like that

this song makes me cry every time i listen😔

잭에게 보호소에서 보내는 따뜻한 편지" 별일은 없었니 그럭저럭 난 견딜만해 하도 맞아서 아프지만 "아맞다 잭.나야 크러치 니 친구" 여긴 참 별루야 맨날 욕하고 때리거든 음식맛은 좀 괜찮나봐 밥을 안줘서 문제지만 많이 그리워 새벽 별빛 아래 누워 편히 잠들던 옥상 시원하게 감싸주던 바람도 어쨌든 있잖아 탈출계획을 짜고있어 이불을 묶어서 창밖에 던지고 내려가면 성공이야 계획은 이런데 아직 실행은 못할듯해 야 그 퓰리처 꼴 좋더라 근데 이제는 다 귀찮아 그냥 떠나고싶어 맑고 깨끗한 하늘과 한없이 넓은 초원 마음대로 별도 볼 수 있는 곳 기차타고 "여기 정말로 싫어" 아니야 괜찮아 근데 하나만 부탁할게 우린 서로를 지키는 가족이라고 했던 말 절대 잊지마 나를 위해 아무리 힘들어도 이만 쓸게 니친구. 니형제. 크러치

I'm playing Albert in our school musical...even the Junior version hits hard, but thid hits harder. I started crying over this beautiful song. NEEDS TO BE IN THE RECORDING

I miss the rooftop Sleeping right out in the open In your penthouse in the sky There's a cool breeze blowin', even in July Anyway, so guess what! There's this secret escape plan I've got! Tie a sheet to bed, toss the end out the window Climb down then take off like a shot! Maybe though, not tonight I ain't slept, and my leg still ain't right Hey but, Pulitzer, he's goin' down! And then Jack, I was thinking we might just go, like you was sayin' Where it's clean and green and pretty With no buildings in your way And you're riding Palominos, every day! Once that train makes- [BOY] Shhh! [CRUTCHIE, spoken] Damn this place [CRUTCHIE, sung] I'll be fine, good as new But there's one thing I need you to do On the rooftop you said that a fam'ly looks out for each other So you tell all the fellas from me, to protect one another!

I want to play crutchie someday. I'm a girl, do you think a theater might do blind casting?

My school is doing newsies and I am trying out for Crutchie. Wish me luck!

My school is doing newsies in the spring and I hope we have this song in the soundtrack

Time to cry! :)

Alright, I have to get this down. I'm auditioning with this song. Wish me luck!!!

i am auditioning for crutchie in a few weeks! i am a girl with a strong tenor voice and belt, but im trying not to get my hopes up too high because im a girl auditioning for a guys part. but im giving it my best shot with this as my audition song!!

i am currently singing this at the top of my lungs in my backyard (sorry neighbours)

Im putting this on loop for the next hour to memorize it. Wish me luck so I’m not sobbing by the end.

I get so sad when I remember that this isn’t on the album 😭😭 It was added for the live version

I cry every time I listen to this song or watch this part in the musical

I did this for a school musical and EVERY TIME my good friend who played Crutchie sang this I would cry hard

I just got cast as cruchie in newsies jr I’m bummed bc I wanted to Katherine but listening to this song made me rethink it bc crutchie is literally the cutest character

Wow you have grown so much I remember three years ago haha

i got crutchie for my schools musical! its so funny because hes my favorite character and its such a fun character to play :DDD time to rehearse~

..... Ha. Ha.

So amazing

[CRUTCHIE, spoken] Dear Jack (sung) How are you? I'm okay Guess I wasn't much help yesterday Snyder soaked me real good with my crutch Oh yeah, Jack, this is Crutchie, by the way These here guards, they is rude They say "jump", boy, you jump or you're screwed! But the food ain't so bad, 'least so far, 'cause so far, they ain't brung us no food! (spoken) Ha, ha (sung) I miss the rooftop Sleeping right out in the open In your penthouse in the sky There's a cool breeze blowin', even in July Anyway, so guess what! There's this secret escape plan I've got! Tie a sheet to bed, toss the end out the window Climb down then take off like a shot! Maybe though, not tonight I ain't slept, and my leg still ain't right Hey but, Pulitzer, he's goin' down! And then Jack, I was thinking we might just go, like you was sayin' Where it's clean and green and pretty With no buildings in your way And you're riding Palominos, every day! Once that train makes- [BOY] Shhh!

The end Your friend Your best friend- Your brother Crutchie

Yeah this should be in the album

I wish this was on Apple Music 😢 I love this song but I can’t find it anywhere except yt

“I’ll be fine, good as new” 😭😭😭

I wanna do newsies but my school doesnt do musicals ever and we currently have like 10 people is theatre. Im praying that next year we will either get more people or maybe the choir kids wanna join in the musical. We probably wont do a musical ever.

auditioning for crutchie today!

I might cry on stage when I sing this bro 😮‍💨

I'm auditioning for crutchie soon and this song is why

Anyone have any tips for auditioning for crutchie? My school is doing it this coming school year and I really want to get the part!

@eaxvor Yes! I wholeheartedly agree. It's sad and a good song.

For some reason, (even though he says brother) I get a vibe from this moment especially that Crutchie may have had a crush on Jack? Just the way the actor sings the heartfelt lyrics so dreamily feels like it fits so well. I think that may be a interesting way to look at the character, considering there doesn't seem to be any obviously LGBTQ+ characters in this musical. I just get a vibe from Crutchie which is hard to explain, but it feels like in this scene the lyrics were sung for a love intrest. The lyrics also can be really heartfelt dedication to a brother. Overall, I really thought this moment was touching.

im trying to sing this for auditions in 2 weeks and like, j sound good with this playing, but as soon as i turn it off i sound like a dying donkey. kdjdjdndn

Damn this place isn't as powerful as I hate this place
