Suggested for general audiences
Inspired by the real-life Newsboys Strike of 1899, Newsies tells the rousing story of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a group of young, ambitious "newsies." When publishing titans Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst raise distribution prices at the expense of the newsboys, Jack rallies his crew to organize a strike and stand up for their rights.
Set in turn-of-the-century New York City, this Tony Award-winning musical features unforgettable songs by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman, including Seize the Day and Santa Fe. Packed with high-energy dance numbers, inspiring themes of resilience, and a heartwarming sense of camaraderie, Newsies is a must-see for audiences of all ages.
Join us for this dynamic and family-friendly production that will have you cheering for the underdogs and celebrating the power of unity.
