He groans aloud when he hears lockpicks in the door. Great, so he’s doing this again. Race hopes this one goes quick and they let him sleep afterwards.
He’s not expecting it to be Spot Conlon who opens the door when the lock clicks.

(featuring the reference image which i found on pinterest)
there are so many missing pieces of Katherine I can't stop thinking about.
Katherine who learned journalism through her father's eyes. Thought it could never be hers, could never be anything but money until she tries it and suddenly, for the first time, Katherine Pulitzer finds power of her own.
Katherine who meets a spitfire boy on the street, all elbows and flirty words and she hates him. But then there he is again, believing in something when he has nothing. She didn't know that was possible. She interviews him and no boy until this one has ever treated her like she was real.
Katherine going home late after the strike breakers, legs tired from running. She goes home and eats dinner with her father, only he isn't her father anymore; he's an abuser who sent police to beat children. When he meets her eyes she shivers and she sleeps with the knowledge her home can't be that anymore.
Katherine who makes a story and a plan, hair a mess and ink stains on her fingers. Who doesn't sleep because every time she closes her eyes she watches her reality crumble apart, revealing a world she wishes she knew sooner.
Katherine who finds Jack on a rooftop and begs him to care about more than money because in her world money has always come before people. But Jack is different and runs because of fear Katherine never knew existed. She learns it for him. Learns it because this awful mix of terror and anger is so much better than the emotionless world she was raised in.
Katherine who falls in love with Jack's heart and mind long before his looks. Katherine who falls in love with Jack because around him she's human and the world is alive.
newsies hadestown au with David as Orpheus and Jack as Eurydice
David working on a song (Always the mouthpiece, the poet, but until he meets Jack he cannot put those words into action, and until he loses Jack he can’t find the power to voice them on his own)
Jack giving in to death (Jack scabbing, he sees David’s dream but can’t deliver on his end for one reason or another)
Davey going to drag Jack out of hell (He sees the dark place Jack are in and offers him hope, this is literally the watch what happens reprise)
Davey leading Jack out of the underworld because he loves him, so much, too much, and he has to look back because a world where Jack isn’t with him isn’t one he ever wants (Davey trying to lead the strike without Jack, unwilling to speak without Jack’s words)
Jack following, content with nothing but the trail Davey leads (literally the entire movie)
Like has anyone written this and if so gimme gimme. The parallels are insane and I'm yearning for it.
something about Jack and David both presenting in the way the other is internally (Jack being chaotic and angry on the outside, but masking his fear, while David appears more proper and stereotypically anxious when he’s actually very frustrated). Growing up in vastly different environments with different social expectations, they’ve learned to cover up, but by becoming friends they offer each other the space to be themselves and ugh. i love them.
i just saw the outsiders musical (no understudies) so get so excited for all of my opinions.
it may take awhile for me to process and post all of them, but while i was watching i was sooo focused on body language when singing, especially in the emotionally heavy songs where there isn’t any dancing.
like both soda and johnny MOVE. their whole bodies shift when they breathe and sing, but soda it feels like the movement causes the singing where johnny’s singing moves him. it gives them both a carefree quality, which makes sense for soda and is so devastating for johnny.
and cherry, darry, dally, and pony are so still. they are all incredible dancers but when they sing it’s so focused in their faces (maaaybe the shoulders). it gives such gravity to everything they do, and makes all the movement that does happen feel so precise and intentional.
the contrast kills me. i can’t explain it, but it characterizes them so well, like of course soda is always moving, and johnny can’t help but be moved. of course darry and dally are so controlled. of course cherry is afraid to show her true emotions. of course pony is more analytical and thoughtful: he’s the one telling the story.
anyways. stay tuned for more.
