Watching the Olivier Awards performance, I was surprised that Brooklyn now consists only of female Newsies.

What's more recommended - the movie or the Broadway musical?

I wish I could tell you! I haven’t seen the movie probably since I was in middle school, and I never got into the stage show.

It seems like all the mega fans online are more into the stage show, though.

Thank you.
I ask because I saw that Disney+ has a proshot of the stage musical and I was wondering. I tried watching the film a long time ago and couldn't get into it.

They are definitely different experiences. I would probably say watch the movie first. The Broadway show has an extremely minimal set (I don't know theater terminology), whereas the film has actual locations.

That's the biggest reason to me to watch the movie first, and the fact that the movie is the original.
