Newsies closed shop on Broadway and will begin North American Tour in October of 2014

NEWSIES is the new record-breaking Disney Musical, Tony Award®-winning, Broadway phenomenon that tells the story of a band of underdogs who took on the most powerful names in New York in a fight for what's right. Inspired by a triumphant true story, NEWSIES leaps off the stage with incredible music, amazing heart and absolutely stunning choreography. Seize the day and discover the remarkable strength that comes from standing together – one for all, and all for one.

Based on the real-life Newsboy Strike of 1899, Newsies tells the story of Jack Kelly, a rebellious newsboy who dreams of a life as an artist away from the big city. After publishing giant Joseph Pulitzer raises newspaper prices at the newsboys’ expense, Kelly and his fellow newsies take action. With help from the beautiful female reporter Katherine Plumber, all of New York City soon recognizes the power of “the little man.”

Newsies is a fast-paced musical with jaw-dropping choreography, catchy songs by eight-time Oscar winner Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid), and a book that theatergoers of all ages will enjoy. This is a feel-good family musical that will introduce Newsies to a new generation while pleasing fans of the original 1992 film. The Broadway production includes many of the songs from the movie as well as new tunes and an added love story between Jack Kelly and the new character Katherine Plumber.

Newsies is a great show for the whole family. There is no foul language and the steamiest part of the show is a kiss between the romantic leads. Overall, it’s one of the most enjoyable Broadway shows for kids and parents alike.
