Minute 98: Brass Knuckles for Everyone!

In 1992, the lots of Disney studios echoed with the voices of Newsies. Peddlin' the songs of Alan Menken, Jack Feldman, and other giants of the movie musical world. On every corner, you saw 'em carryin' the banner, bringing you the news one song at a time. Poor dancers and singers, the newsies were an athletic army, without a leader, except for Kenny Ortega, the director, who also was totally their leader. Until one day, none of that changed, except that the movie was done and you could go watch it.

And now, we're here to talk to you about it.
