Wondrous Newsies, everyone!

Jeremy Jordan and legendary composer Alan Menken recently engaged in some ear-pleasing studio love when recording the beautiful, pining tune Santa Fe from Disney's Newsies.

Tony Nominee Jer Bear currently stars as Jack Kelly in the broadway version of the 1992 film, and was JUST cast in theatrical TV show SMASH's second season!

Ohhhh we ADORE Jeremy, his voice is SO Disney prince!

So like, when Disney brings Aladdin to Broadway, he's gonna play the lead across from Nicole Scherzinger's Jasmine…

RIGHT?!

(Just putting it out there!)

We were wondering what sexy male feet would fill the FOUR pairs of showman shoes left empty from Smash’s first season…

At least ONE set of theatrical kicks has found a new owner!

Jeremy Jordan - best known as Jack Kelly in Newsies - has signed on to play a self-destructive, Brooklynite singer joining the cast of Bombshell as it continues its journey towards The Great White Way!

And don’t worry Newsies fans, ‘cause Jeremy will

IT WAS ONCE!

AMAZING!

That's right, Trey Parker and Matt Stone took to the stage to poke fun at the Broadway scene, and after doing so HIGHlariously, they announced that the 2012 Tony Award for Best Musical was awarded to the beautiful love story, beating out Leap Of Faith, Newsies, and Nice Work If You Can Get It!

SO happy to see this one do so well tonight!

Truly something powerful!

Congratulations! Such a great night of theatre!

Wow! Two MORE FANTASTIC Tony Award firsts!

And two absolutely gorgeous, touching acceptance speeches!

Steve Kazee just took home the 2012 Best Performance By An Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical for his incredible work in Once, and in an absolutely heartwrenching and beautiful acceptance speech, thanked his cast and crew for helping him stay strong after the passing of his mother.

Just so incredibly moving.

Directly afterward, James Corden won the Best Performance By An Actor in a Leading Role in a Play for his work in One Man, Two Guvnors, and gave an equally touching, if not entirely different, thank you to his fellow nominees, as well as his fiances!

Ch-ch-check out both speeches (above)!

Ugh!

We're all choked up!

Well-deserved, both you! Congrats!

We loved this when it was just a young Christian Bale showing off his pipes and swag, and we love it even MORE now that it's on the Broadway stage!

And we're not gonna lie - Jeremy Jordan fills the HAWT quota in Batman's absence just fiiiine, doesn't he?

LOLz!

Ch-ch-check out the cast and crew of Newsies performing the smash Seize The Day at the 2012 Tony Awards (above)!

We just have to say it is SO good to see Sheryl Crow looking so gorgeous and healthy!

But at the 2012 Tony Awards, the singer took a back seat as a presenter for the Best Original Score (Music And/Or Lyrics) Written For The Theatre, and it was Alan Menken and Jack Feldman who won for the music and lyrics of Newsies!

Wonderful wonderful!

Definitely one of our faves, so we're delighted to see them be honored for their work on it!

Congrats!

Another first win this evening, alongside a record-breaking SIXth!

While a lot of the focus of the 2012 Tony Awards goes to the actors for their performances and their respected nominated pieces, the accolade for Best Direction of a Musical went to first-timer John Tiffany for his gorgeous work on Once!

However, right after, Mike Nichols won his sixth award for Best Direction of a Play for his equally brilliant work on the revival of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman!

Amazing amazing!

Lots of excitement this year!
