Disney's Newsies

About the Show:

Set in turn-of-the century New York City, Newsies is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of teenaged "newsies." When titans of publishing raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for what's right!

Newsies is inspired by the real-life Newsboys Strike of 1899, when newsies leaders Kid Blink and David Simons led a band of working kids on a two-week long strike against the newspaper publishers Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst.

Music by Alan Menken Lyrics by Jack Feldman Book by Harvey Fierstein

Based on the Disney Film written by Bob Tzudiker and Noni White
