So, Newsies, yes?

WNYC, the New York NPR affiliate, is streaming the Newsies cast recording on their website in advance of the iTunes release next week.

I'm not sure if "Watch What Happens" is my favorite song in the show, but it's definitely my favorite new song. Katherine is very nearly a Disney Princess, and I'm a little sad because her voice is a bit too wry here, for me, and I hate the ballad. So much. She's much better in "King of New York," but more charming in "Watch What Happens." Anywho.

"Brooklyn's Here" is also a lot of fun, but that might be mostly because I'm picturing Tommy Bracco, who is adorable.

You can listen to the whole album, or individual tracks, at the website: http://www.wnyc.org/shows/soundcheck/blogs/soundcheck-blog/2012/apr/02/exclusive-newsies-cast-album/ possibly subject to regional/national restrictions. If you're interested and the player doesn't work for you, let me know and I'll see what I can do!
