What's left behind the scenes
- Most of the young actors involved in the film underwent intensive training in dance and martial arts over ten weeks.
- Originally, 'The Newsies' was intended to be a drama, not a musical.
- Many of the film's newsboy characters are based on real people who participated in the 1899 strike, such as Spot Conlon, Racey Higgins, and Mushy Blink. At the same time, the character of Jack Kelly, played by Christian Bale, was fictional, although he may have been partially based on Mushy Blink, who was accused of being bribed by Pulitzer to end the strike. His friend David is to some extent based on another strike leader, Morris Cohen.
- For a long time, the film remained the lowest-grossing live-action project in the entire history of the Disney studio.
- The song "King of New York" was written by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman after filming had already wrapped, later becoming their favorite song in the entire film.
- When Christian Bale performs the song "Santa Fe" in one episode, he is riding a horse. In the shot where his arms are raised and he is leaning back, the actor was actually riding on the shoulders of a stunt performer.
- The dress worn by Elle Woods (Sara Jacobs) during the performance of "Off to the Races" was an authentic dress from 1899. Due to the delicate stitching and fragile condition, the costume designers were forced to remove the dress and mend small holes and tears in the fabric after each take.
