Coming for "Newsies" was a big deal for me though I hadn't expected it to be. I realized I hadn't been in fabulous places where people had to dress up for a long time but I think it was a nice change for me. The Bushnell didn't seem very impressive outside but auditorium with tremendously high ceilings and magnificent chandelier on top of it looked stunning. I had already forgotten how much I loved places with lots of space and how they make me feel! However, such huge auditorium prevented us from being able to see the details of the performance. The stage was too far away from the balcony where we happened to be sitting. Even with my perfect 20/20 vision I couldn't see the faces of the actors. I didn't have difficulties with distinguishing them from one another when they were singing though. I enjoyed every single performance and every single song they sang. It was incredible how they moved so simultaneously, especially when there were more than ten actors in one group. I could see that they put a huge amount of work and effort in making this musicle, and I'm that kind of viewer who appreciate that. As far as decorations, it always surprised me how great and appropriate the props were counting that there were limited abilities and options for a theater to show the audience where the act takes place. Newsies didn't become an exception either. The props were pretty simple but they moved them adapting to the scenes marvelously well. The plot, on the other hand, was the weakest part, in my opinion. It was too obvious from the very beginning and most of the characters weren't well developed. I still can say that I absolutely loved the musical and the energetic atmosphere of actors on the stage. It was a right choice of spending an evening!
