John and John seize the day in their next show and discuss the 2012 Disney musical "Newsies". They have a few notes about the score, the dichotomy of the dance vs non-dance music, the attempts at authenticity, and the role of dance in the modern musical... well, at least *this* modern musical.

Music by Alan Menken

Lyrics by Jack Feldman

Book by Harvey Firestein

Based on the 1992 movie "Newsies", screenplay by Bob Tzudiker and Noni White
