I attended the traveling Broadway production of Disney’s Newsies on February 14th‚ at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis. Being a fan of the movie but not knowing much about the musical‚ I was not sure what to expect. However‚ the show was a huge success‚ and it definitely has earned a place as one of my favorite musicals of all time. This musical was very dance heavy‚ and the dancing was not by any means easy. This was impressive enough in of itself. Even more impressive‚ though‚ from a vocal

The first moment of theatre I chose to stage is when Cyrano and Christian went to go see Roxane in the middle of the night.This scene prior to this moment was very important. Roxane and Christian sits outdoors and Roxanne ask Christian to tell her how much he loves her and he tries‚ but all he can say is “I love you” “I love you very much” and Roxanne gets infuriated and went inside the house. This was the closest thing to the book exemplifying some type of truth. Throughout the play‚ there has been
