Based on one of Disney’s favorite movie musicals and the inspiring true story of the “Newsboys’ Strike of 1899,” NEWSIES! is an uplifting tale of one, charismatic young man named Jack Kelly, and the band of “newsies” who looked to him for leadership.
When two, greedy titans of publishing suddenly raise the prices for newspapers at the children’s expense, Jack rallies newsies from all across NYC to strike against injustice and to fight for what’s right!
Featuring rousing dance numbers and a Tony Award-winning score with now-classic songs like “Seize the Day” and “Santa Fe,” Disney’s NEWSIES THE MUSICAL! is a must-see for, both, families and for fans of the original film.
