Cast members from the popular Broadway musical Newsies will hold a pair of reunion concerts Aug. 24 at 54 Below nightclub in New York. Original leading lady Kara Lindsay, who will take part in the concerts, took us backstage early in the show's run!

"Watch What Happens!" A Two-Show Day at Broadway's Newsies With Kara Lindsay

Starting the morning off enjoying a yummy breakfast with my handsome fiance! His: waffles with peanut butter and fruit on top. Hers: oatmeal with fruit mixed in and a huge glob of peanut butter on top. I could eat a whole jar... Kara Lindsay

Walking a half mile to the subway station. At least it's beautiful here in the historic district of Jackson Heights! A tree? Yes, please! Kara Lindsay

The E train came pretty quick! MTA, I like you... today :) Kara Lindsay

Arriving at the lovely Nederlander Theatre! It still gives me goosebumps. Kara Lindsay

Nelson and Brian greet us everyday at the theater and open the door for us. Such gentlemen! Kara Lindsay

Why hello, Jack and Bres! Everyday we walk through this famous alley to get to the stage door. If you squint...a lot... you can see signatures of all the people involved in shows prior to ours. So much history in this theater! Kara Lindsay

We walk in and greet Joe, our doorman, who keeps us safe from invaders. Kara Lindsay

The sign-in sheet! If you don't sign in, Thom Gates (our stage manager) will call you out at the Half Hour announcement and embarrass you... just sayin. I've been there and I am still blushing :) Kara Lindsay

Our wonderful stage management team! They seriously rock. Thom, Tim and Bryan. Our only girl ASM, Becky, was out this afternoon, but she and I stick together. Ya gotta in a theater filled with boys! Kara Lindsay

I walk up to the dressing room and find a party has already began! Capathia and I love visitors.... We have some good laughs! Kara Lindsay
