Spot Conlon

Spot Conlon, aka the most respected and famous Newsies in all of New York, is the Leader of the Brooklyn Newsies. The biggest borough in NYC. He is based on the real life 1899 Newsies; Spot Conlon who wore faded red suspenders. Spot is known for his slingshot, cane and (on Broadway) short stature. Don’t let him hear you call him short though or he’ll soak you. His (supposed) second in command is Hotshot, his “favorite” Manhattan Newsies is Racetrack Higgins, and he probably isn’t in the mood to deal with whatever dumb idea Jack Kelly has thought up now. Spot is known to have been played by Gabriel Damon and Tommy Bracco.

Fansies Fake Name: Because Spots' real name isn't known, the fansies have given him a fake real name most use for fun. It is Sean Conlon.

The songs Spot sings are: Brooklyn's Here, King of New York (Movie), Once and for all (Broadway), Final (Broadway), and World will Know (Reprise (movie).
