Our staff will be unavailable from 11am on Friday 17th May until 9am on Tuesday 21st May, spreading the joy of jazz hands and spirit fingers at our Junior Theatre Festival in Birmingham. Our office will remain open, however, to accept deliveries of returned materials.
Breakdown
Audition Central: Disney's Newsies JR.
Character Breakdown: Crutchie
Jack’s best friend and a dedicated newsie with a “bum leg” from polio that causes pain, but helps sell more papes. Walking with the assistance of a crutch doesn’t define the ever-positive newsie, so look for an actor who can portray Casey’s goofy-sweet sense of humor and optimistic resilience. Crutchie is accustomed to modifying daily activities for their disability, so consider both the character and actor’s abilities when blocking and choreographing.
Vocal Range
