Seizing the Day Takes Its Toll on a Worn Out Jeremy Jordan in New Instagram Post

It's not easy being king...of New York, that is. In anticipation of the upcoming cinematic release of Disney's smash Broadway hit, NEWSIES, the cast has gone back into rehearsal.

Joining the company to reprise his Tony-nominated performance as Jack Kelly, is original cast member, Jeremy Jordan, who took to Instagram today to document his rehearsal fatigue.

He writes, "Oh yeah, I forgot how hard this show was. And we only just ran act one. #newsiesforever", confirming what we've known all along: Christopher Gattelli's choreography is no joke.

Hang in there, Jeremy!

NEWSIES, the new American musical, features a Tony Award-winning score with music by eight-time Academy Award winner Alan Menken and lyrics by Jack Feldman, a book by four-time Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein and is produced by Disney Theatrical Productions, NEWSIES is directed by Tony nominee Jeff Calhoun and choreographed by Christopher Gattelli, who won a 2012 Tony Award for his work. The entire creative team has reunited to bring the break-out smash musical to audiences across North America.

When it opened on March 29, 2012, NEWSIES was intended for a Broadway run of just 101 performances. The show's fiercely devoted fans had other ideas, however; they propelled the show to a run of 1005 performances, attendance of more than 1 million and a gross of over $100M.
