🎶 Moon. A natural satellite of the Earth. Latin name: Luna. Hundreds of thousands of miles away from here, no signs of water or life or atmosphere. This is the truth about the moon. The facts are black and white, and yet I couldn't think of one while watching it tonight.🎶





"Promise we'll go to Santa Fe together, Cowboy."


"I promise we'll go to Santa Fe together, Pip."



In 1899, seventeen year old Philippa Blythe lost her parents and went to the Newsboys Lodging House to seek comfort from her friend, Jack Kelly, who suggests that she becomes a newsie. Jack teaches Philippa how to be a newsie, and she becomes as respected as Jack in a month. Philippa also begins to realize that she has feelings for Jack. Once two new kids become newsies and a strike begins, Jack and Philippa's friendship and Philippa's hope of having a relationship with Jack gets tested when two girls enter the picture. (I'm not the best at descriptions so read on to find out what happens. This story will also be a combination between the 1992 movie and the Broadway musical.)

It's been over a year since the strike has settled and the newsies haven't had any problems with Pulitzer since. But that's not to say that they didn't all have problems outside of work. Jack and Katherine were unhappy together. They didn't feel the love towards each other that they used to feel. Yet they were too scared to say something to one another. Crutchie wanted for his long-time crush to love him back, although he knew that would never happen. Still, one could dream. Davey and Les's father had been severely injured by an incident at work. He wasn't so lucky this time around and passed away due to blood loss. This drove their mother into a state of insanity, forcing Davey and Les to pack up their things and leave. They now live on the streets with their fellow newsies, struggling to support themselves just like every other newsie. Their lives were still pretty crappy and hopeless, but hey, they were still alive and that was what mattered. Then, a new kid shows up at the gates of The World and sends their lives into chaos once more.
