Crutchie: beaten, captured, probably dead Jack: Beaten, missing, probably dead Davey, Katherine, Les and the rest of the Newsies: *tap dancing intensifies*

I love how when Katharine says “so let’s get drunk! not with liquor” you can hear the newsies audibly go “awwww....”

Katherine: SO LETS GET DRUNK! Davey: yay... Katherine: Not with liquor.. Davey: oh thank god

Me: **breaks a chair** LOOK AT ME My mom: oh no. Me: **throws newspaper in the air** I'M THE KING OF NEW YORK!!! My mom: *YOU LIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA*

Original Broadway cast recording: *Race starts tap dancing* "YEAH!!" Netflix version: *Race starts tap dancing* "Oh no..."

SO LET'S GET DRUNK! *YEAH* NOt with liquor! *aww*

Dance Break: The song

The sound of Mike Faist's foot is forever immortalized for all to hear.

0:28 you can't tell me that's *not* Lin Manuel Miranda

I like that in the beginning some of the boys want extravagant things like a box at the races and a solid gold toilet and the rest of them are like "Can I have a sandwich" or "Matching shoelaces" or a haircut

I watched the live recording, and got a crack of how when Catherine tapped a little, and how they were like "Oh, that was pretty good for someone like you!" And she was like: "Oh this was a competition? Hold my shoes, boys!"

it should be a sin that I didn't know about this musical until yesterday

what do you want for your birthday? me: a pair of new shoes with matching laces-

Does anyone notice how at the very end, her voice is able to be heard through everyone else's? That's what I call POWER.

This song makes 1890's ruffian teenage boys very attractive... o.O

When Katharine tapped like what they thought was a child, my friend who was Race (we just did this at the local theatre I volunteer at) yelled at my friend who played Katharine "THAT WAS TERRIBLE. NO." and she walked towards him and he went "I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT." the last two performances. I died of laughter and so did everyone else in the audience.

da woild is ya erster

People are getting way too upset about this musical being changed from the movie. I saw it on Broadway and it was fantastic. The most enjoyable show I've seen. Everybody needs to calm down a little bit.

I like Katherine a lot more than Sarah and Denton from the movie combined. I think that combining the reporter character and Jack's love interest into one character really works, and she holds her own as an interesting character without Jack as well. And Katherine being Pulitzer's daughter was a true stroke of genius and just the plot twist that was needed in that place in the story. I don't get why people don't like her. Did people even like Sarah from the movie?

Gets a good grade on a test *Me:*

This song makes me feel like conquering the world is ok

Is it just me, or does anyone else, pay close attention to what they're saying in the back grounnd whilst thier dancing?

You don't need money when you're famous They gives you whatever you want, gratis Such as A pair of new shoes with matchin' laces A permanent box at Sheepshead races Pastrami on rye with a sour pickle A personal puss on a wooden nickel Look at me I'm the king of New York Suddenly I'm respectable Starin' right at 'cha Lousy with stature Nobbin' with all the muckety-mucks I'm blowin' my dough and goin' deluxe And there I be Ain't I pretty? It's my city I'm the king of New York A solid gold watch with a chain to twirl it My very own bed and an indoor terlet A barber shop haircut that costs a quarter A regular beat for the star reporter Am-scray, punk, she's the king of New York Whod'a thunk, I'm the king of New York We was sunk, pale and pitiful Buncha wet noodles Pulitzer's poodles Almost about to drown in the drink When she fished us out And drowned us in ink So lets get drunk Yeah Not with liquor, fame works quicker When you're king of New York I gotta be either dead or dreamin' 'Cause look at that pape with my face beamin' Tomorrow they may wrap fishes in it But I was the star for one whole minute Look at me I'm the king of New York Wait and see This is gonna make both the Delancey's Pee in their pant-sies Flashpots are shootin' bright as a sun I'm one highfallutin' son of a gun I guarantee Though I crapped out, I ain't tapped out I'm the king of New Friends may flee Let'em ditch ya, snap one pit'cha Your the king of New History, front page story Guts and glory, I'm the king of New York

crutchie: (brutally taken to the refuge) jack: (missing in action) katherine and the other newsies: now it's time to get funky

0:49 oh my gosh. . . DID I JUST FALL IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE'S VOICE?!

I sang this song for my VERY FIRST AUDITION every and it brings me such nostalgia

I love the part where you can hear one of them yell "don't hurt nobody now"

I can't believe Ben Fankhauser has only one discernible line in this song and yet he still steals the show

The switch between Santa Fe to this is astronomical

Saw the musical yesterday and I got the shirt that said I'm the king of new york

Ben Fankhauser's voice in this is like heaven. Its so beautiful!😍

Race came striding over to Albert. “For jumpin’ Jack’s sake, can’t you stow the seriosity long enough to just drink”-he punched to Albert’s left-”in”-he punched to Albert’s right-”the mo-o-o-o-oment.” He jabbed both fists rapidly in the direction of Albert’s chest so his words bounced up and down, then flung an arm around Albert and clamped him against his side in a crushing embrace. “I’m famous!” Albert winced as Race’s high-pitched voice cracked right next to his ear. Henry was standing on one of the tables holding the newspaper and raised skeptical brows at Race’s bold cry. “Yeah… what of it?” Race was pulled back to reality and scowled at Henry. Releasing Albert, he took his cigar out of his mouth to scoff, “Well, are you stupid or what. When you’re famous”-he adopted a dreamy voice-”da world’s yer erster.” He grinned, proud of himself, and popped his cigar back in his mouth, adjusting his cap. Everyone looked utterly baffled. Henry stared in confusion. “Ya what?” Race paused and looked at him like he was an idiot. “Your erster.” Henry swung his head to look at the boys next to him questioningly. Race turned to Albert for support, but he simply shrugged. “Your erster!” cried Race. More confusion. Katherine had a hand over her mouth to hide her smile. “Your erster!” Race grew frustrated. “You know, the fancy clam with the pearl inside!” He mimed a clam with his hands. Upon hearing that, everyone began shouting at him at once, throwing their hands up in digust. “All right, all right!” called Henry over the clamor, deciding to play Race’s game. He looked meaningfully at Race. “How much does bein’ famous pay?” Race scoffed and waved him off dismissively as he walked over to lean against the table by Katherine. “Oh, you don’t need money when yer famous.” He grabbed the pape from Henry and shrugged. “They gives you whatever you want! Gratis!” Henry raised his eyebrows. “Such as?” “A pair of new shoes with matchin’ laces,” Race sang, pretending to scribble on the pape with his cigar. Romeo sidled up to the table and grabbed the pape. “A permanent box on the Sheepshead races.” “Pastrami on rye with a sour pickle,” added Henry. “A personal puss on a wooden nickel!” Finch joined in. Race snatched the pape from Romeo and strolled to the front of the middle table, dancing wildly. “Look at me,” he sang. “I’m the king of New York!” He strutted up to Albert, jabbing a finger at him. “Suddenly. I’m respectable. Starin’ right at’cha, lousy with stature.” Tucking his walking stick under his arm, Albert marched past Race, stealing the pape. “Nobbin’ with all the muckety-mucks, I’m blowin’ my dough and goin’ deluxe-” “And there I be,” sang Race, retrieving the pape, leaping on top of the middle table, and catching a glass someone threw him and holding it out in a toast. “Ain’t I pretty? It’s my city, I’m the king of New York-” “A solid gold watch with a chain to twerl it,” Jo Jo interrupted, taking the paper, then handing it to Les as the kid joined in: “My very own bed and an indoor terlet.” “A barber shop haircut that costs a quarter,” Mush added. Davey seized the pape and handed it to Katherine. “A regular beat for the star reporter!” “Am-scray, punk!” Race flicked Davey in the back of the shoulder and gestured to Katherine. “She’s the king of New York!” “Whod’a thunk? I’m the king of New York!” Katherine sang, holding her hands out to the group as a few of the newsies picked up the table she was sitting on and carried it to the back of the room to make room for dancing. “We was sunk,” sang the newsies. “Pale and pitiful-” “Buncha wet noodles-” Katherine agreed. “Pultizer’s poodles,” they all finished together. “Almost about to drown in the drink-” sang Les. Buttons jumped in. “When she fished us out-” “And drowned us in ink,” Race interrupted. “So let’s get drunk!” cried Katherine. “Yeah!” the newsies roared. “Not with liquor,” amended Katherine, “fame works quicker (“awww”), when you’re king of New York.” The newsies sang together: “I gotta be either dead or dreamin’, ‘Cause look at that pape with my face beamin’.” Katherine flared the pape and held it flat against her chest, beaming. “Tomorrow they may wrap fishes in it But I was the star for one whole minute! “Look at me: I’m the king of New York Wait and see: This is gonna make both the Delancey’s Pee in their pant-sies. Flash pots are shootin’ bright as the sun I’m one highfallutin’ son-of-a-gun I guarantee: Though I crapped out, I ain’t tapped out I’m the king of New- “Friends may flee! Let’em ditch ya Snap one pit’cha You’re the king of New- “History! Front page story Guts and glory, I’m the king- Of New York!”

MY CHILD IS FAMOUS IN NEW YORK MIKE FAIST!

THIS IS MY JAM, it literally makes me so happy to listen to this

We're using this Song for show choir and i'm so excited lol

the cast is so hot omf

It's not a proper musical with out a tap dance break

I love how she says let’s get drunk and then they all are disappointed when she says no. They were so excited.

This is actually my favourite song from Newsies, I love Seize the day as much as the next person but King of New York is just so fun!

I love tap dancing and this is the song where I fell in love with the musical. Now I can't stop listening to the whole soundtrack! God bless Newsies!

Why are they out on the streets selling newspapers? They should sing and dance for a theater! Make a LOT more money!

This was my favorite Broadway show besides Wicked 😄

Nothing can take away my joy after listening to this

My school's doing newsies, and a picture of one of the practices ended up on the front page of the town newspaper. Oh, the irony

I saw it yesterday at the paramount theater in Seattle and this song is stuck in my head! It had some awesome dancing in it!

When those kids who love to gossip here so and so likes so and so: VICTORY! FRONT PAGE STORY!

I love this song sooo much I play it everyday

We sing a different version in choir class every day and there’s a line that goes “Saturday night with the mayors daughter” and every time me and my friend glance at each other from across the room😂

this was supposed to be my school's spring musical this year but because of the virus, school got cancelled for the rest of the year:( we may do it over the summer or for our spring musical next year! i was going to play henry!

*crys* this brings me back to the good ol days… *flashbacks to the Newsies local production I was in*

tap dancing makes me happy. even when i only hear it

this was really fun to do with my theatre program. prolly the best scene we did.

This makes me so happy words cannot express how much I love this

The fact that I know every move and where everyone is on stage through the whole song is concerning

My high school did this show this year and this song got the most applause

This one song is just one big flex battle to see who the superior dancer is, change my mind.

the only thing i miss is the newyork accent really. Love everything else

Race: When ya famous, they gives ya whateva ya want, gratis! James Charles: oh rly I'm sorry I had to

I like the musical better than the movie oopsies

0:27 I thought he said "lousy with a spatula" at first

the woilds ya erster

My favorite part in the musical is when the beautiful line of "The world is your erster." And no one knows what he means

MY FAVORITE SONG!!!!!!!

thank you for posting the Newsies song! my sister and I are learning the tap for a play.

I just went and saw it at a local theater and I’m obsessed

I’m literally obsessed with this song right now!

I saw this musical at a well-known dinner theater near Janesville, WI.

This is dance song! I am going to dance with this for my recital! Edit: Yay 600th comment!

Is it a coincidence that "Satisfied" is a suggestion after listening to this? No? Okay :,)

I love this new York city has fall down in 5he tiny house falls on my back ground my mom loves Broadway musical soundtrack cast album this make ke happy

The first time I heard this epic tune was when the cast performed at the Macy's Parade!

1:08 LET'S GET DRUNK

Kara Lindsay is such a dream 😍

You guys are all stars for WAY more than a minute.

my dance studio did this song last year for competition season and i’m still loving this song (we always came first)

I went and saw them preform last year

Oh jeeze this gives me memories, I danced to this in jazz a few years ago, but of course it was shorter and mostly the instrumental.

There was just an ad for a company called Snyder. I'm like, snyder the spider!?

Watched this yesterday at a Theatre Center with a couple freinds, loved it!!

My personal favorite musical and song

I saw the recording of newsies and this song is incredible.. and wow

2 things: 1- Alan Menken (creater of newsies music) is a freaking genius 2- if any of these songs were ever real, they would sound like a freaking revelation because of the way these songs sound

0:49 his voice sounds so nice there

I had a broadway workshop with Ean (forgot who he played, but he's in the tour and the recorded show), and we learned the part after the tap break and he was so nice and fun to sing/dance with

Just saw the Disney Movie at JTF 2017 and it was better than I thought. Loved the soundtrack and want to buy the movie when it comes out. I do not get though how this is out if the movie was not out until yesterday

I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH

I LOVE THIS AAAAAA

LOVE NEWSIES!!!!! IM THE KING OF NEWYORK!!! I AM A GIRL THO!! LOL!!!

I'm in a The Newsies cast for my Jr high, and I can't wait till I get to star in it!!!

we are about to do this musical at school and let me tell you the tap part is HARD

i love this song

i know race isn't mike faist but race sounds like mike faist now i want mike faist as race

I did this musical a few years ago and I got Wiesel and I was really sad because I couldn't do this exact song (and carryover my the banner)

When Benjamin Tyler Cook is the only Racetrack Higgins you love.

My fave song,💖

This is good because I'm doing a theatre musical on this
