Did you know
• For the productions of "Newsies on Broadway", the song "King of New York" has many tap-dancing solos on tables. But the sound on the wood was often drowned out and not heard in the theatre, so microphones were taped to the bottom of tables so everything was heard.
• Katherine is revealed to be the daughter of Joseph Pulitzer. The real Pulitzer did have a daughter named Katherine, but she died at age 2 in 1884, 15 years before the musical is set.
• Jeremy Jordan (Jack Kelly), Kara Lindsay (Katherine), Ben Fankhauser (Davey), Andrew Keenan-Bolger (Crutchie), Mark Aldrich (Seitz), Tommy Bracco (Spot Conlon), John E. Brady (Wiesel/Mr. Jacobi), and Kevin Carolan (Nunzio/Governor Roosevelt) all reprise their roles from the original Broadway cast.
