Just to briefly reignite the 'performer flying' discussion; I noticed in the programme for Into the Woods a credit for 'Performer Flying' which made me realise the term does not necessarily have to literally mean 'the cast will be flying around like Mary Poppins'. There is nothing like that in ITW, the closest it comes is one actor descending some set from a hidden bridge above the stage (whilst harnessed for safety). I guess it's often more of a health and safety/technical consultation role, rather than a creative pulling on some pulleys for Peter Pan-style gliding around.
It may well be that Newsies has some tall set elements that some cast may just need hidden safety equipment to mount. Just to try alleviate any ongoing concerns.

Concerns? I was looking forward to the flying Newsies! Now I'm disappointed...

Hi!
Just a question on seating, I can’t decide which to do - £68 in Manhattan or £68 in Flushing. Im thinking it’s either close but side view or further back but central. Just wondering what peoples thoughts were, I know it’s a hard one when the show has yet to open etc.
Many thanks :-)

They're cutting it a bit fine with the cast announcement. Anyone have any ideas if they've even got a cast yet??

A few teasers of the cast on the Newsies UK insta page (guys wandering around with their faces obscured). Anyone know anything? Can't they just announce the cast already, it's been an age.

Beat me to it. Was just going to post the same. I'm hoping it's a cast announcement but I know its not Jac Yarrow so I ain't bothered! |

I must be the only one who doesn't get the fuss about Jac so I'm quite glad it's not him! I mean he seems perfectly fine but I don't see anything special.

This would be great news.
Michael has a wonderful voice and can really see him in this role!
By the way, either this has sold incredibly well or they are holding big blocks of tickets back?!
Surprised but very pleased really….

Considering its opening in a few weeks time and they must be well into rehearsal, I wonder why there is still no cast announcement.
