He would make a great Evan in a few years. He's so talented.

LOOK AT LITTLE ELIZA KILLIN IT

HIS BELTING IS EVERYTHING IM CRYING

HIS BELT OK IM CRYING

"is been three years, and life goes on" NAH NO IT REALLY DOESNT

"Damn, those paper boys could dance" BEST LINE ACTUALLY EVER

He can call it whatever he wants but I'm pretty sure it's just a love letter to Mike Faist.

It wasn't all that long ago I heard about this little show at Paper Mill No one thought it had a chance But damn, those paper boys could dance And what a thrill I bought a ticket, went to see And holy smokes, it spoke to me, I never knew A musical can touch your soul Make you feel like you are whole, like deja vu And I knew that one thing was true It's the greatest play in forever They'll rule the Great White Way for forever Wish that I could stop time here forever today Those guys and their perfect play Then that first year went by so quick With Matthew, Lewis, Jake, and Nick And then, guess They hired Josh and Zachary And in between they hired me Now I'm playing Les I'm loving all our inside bits You must be joking, Coy, that's rich Chime, says Tom For dinner, grab a bite at Schnipp's Then eat another mint and then you're on It's all I ever wanted to do It's all I ever wanted to do And we'll do this show for forever 'Cause Newsies are you know, they're forever Feels like we could go on for forever this way, this way Singing in the lights, I'm in Newsies Though the dancing's tight here in Newsies Living my best life here in Newsies today My friends and our Broadway play And places called, here we go, we're on our way Far up in my dressing room, I hear them singing Santa Fe Brooklyn's Here, King of New York, Seize the Day, Once and For All One show after the other Each night onstage with my brothers Feeling like we're on fire I'm living my heart's desire I was sure it wouldn't end But of course it had to end It's been three years And life goes on I miss them all And I'm so glad we have this One night in August To sing our songs again 'Cause you'll be my guys for forever Whatever time goes by, we're forever I get to keep that prize for forever always, always All I feel is love I can't get enough And I'm so proud of the part I played True friends, new friends, Newsies of Broadway

I'll feel no shame in admitting I choked up.

PROTECT THIS CHILD AT ALL COSTS

I'm convinced Luca is going to play Evan one day 😄 It's kinda weird to think that Evan is only three years older than him...

HIS BELT AND THEN HIS SMILE WHEN EVERYONE APPLAUDED.

he grew up :') but he sounds so good and I'm so proud of him. it feels like just yesterday that I watched the video of him as Eliza in The Schuyler Sisters Miscast

"But damn those paper boys could dance" 😂😂😂

he has more talent in his pinky finger than i will ever have

I 100% teared up watching this #NewsiesForever

This was the cutest thing to see live because it was the first thing in the show and it was an amazing way to start the show.

PLEASE IN A NEW BROADWAY SHOW MAKE BEN PLATT AND LUCA PADOVAN BROTHERS Edit: NEW IDEAS LUCA AS JOJO AND BEN AS HORTON LUCA AS LES AND BEN AS DAVEY

Oh my god I'm not even a big Newsies fan (not out of dislike, I just haven't delved) but I legit cried what a talented kid and he obviously found a home in his cast, it's so sweet

Oh, my, goodness! Luca's belt has gotten so strong and steady over these what, three years? It's been so long since I've seen li'l Luca as Les on Broadway!

NEWSIES AND DEAR EVAN HANSEN SLAPPED TOGETHER IN A VIDEO I CANT EVEN IM LITERALLY CRYING I CANT EVEN AHHHHHHHHHHHH THEYRE LITERALLY MY FAVORITEN MUSICALSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

How adorable is he??!

Who else is watching this in quarantine and crying? Just me okay. 😭😭😭

dAMN THIS BOY CAN SING LIKE WE ALREADY KNEW BUT ALSO D A M N

In choir we watched him on music express and me and my two friends were freaking out because... we love him and people were saying he couldn’t sing 🙄. Like he was amazing singing Santa Fe but whatever. And then today we were watching the newsies perform at the tonys because we were studying the tonys today and then we watched the Greatest Showman workshop and Jeremy and Andrew were there and I screamed😂

He's almost choking up. Very emotional 😢.

MY TWO FAVORITE BROADWAY SHOWS IN ONE AHHH
