Set in NYC at the turn of the century, this is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy, and leader of a ragged band of teenaged “newsies” who dream of only a better life far from the hardship of the streets. The story is inspired by the real-life “Newsboy Strike of 1899,” when newsboy Kid Blink led a band of orphaned newsies on an action against powerful newspaper publishers.
High energy and with non-stop thrills, the stage version introduces eight brand-new songs by the original team of Alan Menken and Jack Feldman while keeping many of the beloved songs from the film. Performances are November 3, 9 and 10 at 8 pm and November 4 and 11 at 2 pm. Directed by Richard McKenna with music director Jim Luurtsema and co-choreographers Sharon W. Houk and Caitlin Nolan Beaudry.
