Summary
This is a fan-rewrite of "Disney's Newsies" combining both the Broadway musical and the original 1992 movie. This is written as a screenplay and features amateur notes on camera location/movement and character direction notes. To streamline character arcs; motivations; and in-canon timelines, some elements will either be rewritten or dropped. Such as:
Katherine is no longer Jack's love interest. She is much older than all of the boys and is strictly professional.
Bryan Denton is still featured but won't replace Katherine as the main reporter; he instead is Katherine's competition and debatable love interest (open to interpretation but not confirmed nor ruled out).
Crutchie is still a principal part, but he does not share Jack's fantasy for Santa Fe. He is the damsel in distress.
Sarah Jacobs and the Jacobs family are back. Sarah once again as Jack's love interest. With her return also comes the revival of the cut Broadway song "Then I See You Again" as Sarah and Jack's love song.
Kid Blink returns and is joined by the original character Annie, based on the real newswoman Annie Kelly. While her role is simply a supporting role, it is a moderately sized one.

Summary
Sometimes, a weight can build up so gradually that you don’t even realize you’re holding it, until someone invites you to lay it down. In other words: Sarah Jacobs was not made to hold her entire family on her shoulders.

Summary
And now here they were, locked in the smallest room the refuge had to offer, squished into one bunk while kids younger than Les coughed and shivered despite the heat. Though she'd heard plenty of stories, the sight of their sunken faces had sent her heart down to her stomach. Of course, Sarah herself didn't look much better; she didn't need a mirror to know that she'd caught a nasty black eye and a bruised cheekbone, and her ribs stung with every rattling breath. Blood and grime streaked her dress from her gut down to the ragged ends, where she'd torn off strips to patch up Crutchie's shoulder, sending a silent prayer to God that it wouldn't get infected.
It wasn't fair.
Or: Sarah joined her brothers selling papes and fighting strikebreakers, and paid the price for their safety. Now she's stuck in the refuge... but at least she's not alone

Summary
Sarah Jacobs is the only one who has ever seen Spot Conlon cry.
Spot goes to Sarah without thinking. Without thinking of why, or how, or what it means that he did. What it means that it was her that he went to.

Summary
David Jacobs has been in love with Jack Kelly for years. Sarah Jacobs knows this, logically. David is a stubborn, self-sacrificial ball of anxiety. Sarah knows this, logically. David is lying when he says that he is over Jack. Sarah knows this, logically.
She knows this on Sunday night when she goes to bed.
She knows this on Monday when Jack asks her out.
She knows this on Tuesday when she accepts.
Fuck logic.
