"Something To Believe In" from Newsies | Exclusive Michael Ahomka-Lindsay and Bronté Barbé number

WhatsOnStage got a very exclusive first look at the two Newsies leads in action ahead of the show's UK premiere!
Directed and choreographed by Matt Cole, the show will play in a brand-new production from tonight (when first previews begin) through to April 2023.
Alan Menken (The Little Mermaid) provides the score while Harvey Feirstein (Kinky Boots) has penned the book and Jack Feldman (The Lion King II: Simba's Pride) is the lyricist.
Leading the show are Michael Ahomka-Lindsay (Legally Blonde) as Jack Kelly, alongside Bronté Barbé (What's New, Pussycat?) as Katherine Plumber. You can watch the two perform hit duet "Something To Believe In" below in our exclusive video, filmed and edited by the Umbrella Rooms, with recording engineering by Ben Robbins for the Umbrella Rooms. Chris Ma accompanies the pair on piano.

My daughter and I went to this show yesterday. It was well worth the wait. Absolutely brilliant ! Michael was superb. Such a beautiful tone to his voice. The dancers were just great. It was perfection, from the whole cast. Bravo !

Just saw Bronte Barbe in _Kathy & Stella Solve a Murder_ at The Ambassadors Theatre. It's so funny! 100% you need to see it before it ends in September 2024!

[@ItsLeannex]

beyond excited to see this show on friday and this has just made me even more excited !!

[@pdsufferer666]

God, power duo indeed!

[@Lobxx1]

They are both amazing 😍😍

[@alysiamorgan9869]

I thought this was beautiful, really great together. I'm seeing this in January for my birthday and I am beyond excited!

[@mtfan3457]

This is so good i'm literally crying

[@thebanana6760]

They both sound amazing!! I’m in love with newsies but I can’t be the only one who got a bit triggered when he said “we were” instead of “we was”

[@abuikwakume5951]

'we were' is grammatically correct. 'we was' is wrong

[@kalebparolin3113]

@@abuikwakume5951 The Newsies aren't educated so they wouldn't know that so this line just adds to that. People are also used to "we was".

[@Sam4G0d]

Beautiful voices :)

[@JP-sj5zn]

Fabulous vocals

[@ANightworkerslife]

That was amazing!! Have a great run with newsies!!

[@idigdiggs274]

Saw the show on Sat. Everything and everyone was brilliant. Michael's performance was incredible

[@travelaviation3146]

[@ironmimz]

Oh I'm crying. I love this so much ❤️🥰😭

[@BIazingFire]

look at my sillies I miss them so much

[@goodjobeli]

theyre so talented and so attractive too??? like pls

[@KlinjollyCraft]

I’ve been seeing a lot of hate on his Jack, but I gotta be real I think his take on the character is really cool and not bad just because he’s not emulating Jeremy Jordan

[@milahofstein13]

The only things that trigger me is that he ain’t using a New York accent, he said “we were” instead of “we was” and he didn’t do the proper high note at the end.

[@KlinjollyCraft]

@@milahofstein13 not doing the high note is a BIT disappointing, but to be fair Jeremy Jordan is kind of the GOAT when it comes to hitting notes like that. If this guy doesn’t have that range, I think his take was still pretty good

[@milahofstein13]

@@KlinjollyCraft yea, he was pretty good. But I still wished that he did a New York accent.

[@jakelivesey7364]

He sings all high notes live, was just a choice in this recording I guess. They were both absolutely amazing the other night, the cast is insane!

[@dreaboughton85]

Omg, this is amazing. I definitely would ship these two more than I ship the Broadway characters, their actors here just make them seem like they have so much more energy. Don't get me wrong, I love Jack and Katherine on Broadway as well, but, to me at least, these two seem to fit together better.

[@dreaboughton85]

I've seen it live now and I can confirm that they are both amazing actors and they have so much chemistry

[@chloemoore6000]

AH!!!😭😭😭🥹

The orchestration is more powerful 🫣

[@ponyboyandharrylover]

Why did they speed up this song ever so slightly?
