I want a Cowboy, a man who owns a city, a gambler, and a pessimist. I want one who turns me to mush, that wears an eye patch, and learns to use his voice. I want a newsie

The moral of Newsies: don’t take anything lying down. Don’t give up. Don’t give in. Form a union. Go on strike. Kick some ass — even if the deck is rigged

"This is why I love Newsie fans, we're all so nice to each other, it's like having a surrogate family to help you out and support your passion for Suspender-weaing-spit-shaking-pelvic-thrusting News boys!"

Everything you need to know about life you learn from Newsies

Have a nice reporter pay for your lunch as much as possible.

Never ask a smart ass how he slept...you'll always get a smart ass answer.

Don't sleep next to short annoying fellows that are likely to steal your cigars. Unless of course you want to start off the morining with a musical tirade.

Give a newsie a curtain and he'll dry his hands on it.

Dancing in an alley, trying to look exasperated makes you look incredibly hot!!

Pretty much everybody can lie. Even Mr. Goody toe shoes walkin mouth and his little annoying brother.

You can get away with wearing clothes that don't match, but having a gold pocket watch if your a street rat.

It doesn't matter that the woman you're drooling over looks like she could be your grandma

A little cane with an intricate golden top and a wooden slingshot can do wonders for you level of intimidation.

You don't actually have to be there to have a mother who's looking for you.

Even if you give a nun a dirty look she'll still give you a piece of moldy bread.

When people raise the prices of anything, always listen to a guy named Jack...he'll tell you what to do!

Climb statues as much as possible, it'll make you feel 10 again!

your friends will always be there for you, and they'll defend you to the end with their sling shots

Writing the word STRIKE on a chalk board makes you look really good!!!

If a fast talking, delusional Irish boy tells you his name is Kelly...he's lying.

If you have a family, trying to blend with "poor orphans and runaways" is usually a bad idea. You end up looking stupid and accused of having an affair with a reporter.

In NYC you can just break out into song and dance any time you want and noone cares.

You could be the best gymnamst in teh world and you'd still be sellin' papes down at Bottle Alley.

Don't buy roast beef unless it costs 15 cents and is served by a dancing waiter.

Always have your own glass of sasprilla when toasting to someone.

Always be suspicious of girls named Sarah or Medda.

If you're the only female influence in a crowd of young boys you have a pretty good chance seeing one of them without their...papes.

If you're buying lunch nobody cares if you ripped up your couch to make your bowtie.

Never depend on a guy named Racetrack to watch your little brother. Where was Les in the next scene????

Don't be surprised if you friend turns on you to fullfill his own dreams.

Always accept rides from guys named Roosevelt...odds are they're pretty nice.

Check your fire escape every morining...you never know who could be out there.

Never dress like Little Bo Peep when going to a rally.

If you know your going to get another 3 months in the refuge...LEAVE HIS SAUERKRAUT ALONE!!!

Storied based on actuall evnets are always LOOSELY based. Sure Spot Conlon wore pink suspenders...but did he tap dance on tables??? We aren't quite sure.

If you plan on sleeping in a staute...just to let you know everyone can see how dirty your feet are.

If you happen to be in bed with another newsie your lucky if all that's in your face is their foot.

Don't bother with an alarm clock!!! Get a Kloppman!!!

It's harder than you think to sing and shave at the same time.

The easiest way to distract a newsie is to talk about a girl...a bet...a fight...oh come on!!! It aint' hard to distract a newsie..just shove him in the head.

If you grab someone's towel don't be surprised if they leap over head.

If Mush runs in front of you and starts doing flips...just nod and walk away.

There is no point in lying if you can improve the truth.

Grab a bandana and a rope and jump up on a staute and suddenly you're God.

Make friends with Spot Conlon...It's just easier that way.

To live is to be a newsie,to be a newsie is to live.
