Disney’s

Newsies

Based on the real-life Newsboys Strike of 1899 and set in New York City, Disney’s Newsies tells the tale of Jack Kelly, the charismatic leader of the band of teenaged “newsies.” When the publishing company raises their distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack and his band of misfits rally from across the city to strike against the bullies and fight for what’s right! Watch the newsies dance, sing, and celebrate the spirit of friendship and the strength found in knowing you’re not alone.

Music by Alan Menken
Lyrics by Jack Feldman
Book by Harvey Fierstein
Based on the Disney Film written by Bob Tzudiker and Noni White
Originally produced on Broadway by Disney Theatrical Productions

Directed by Lyn Cramer

Performances held at the Deb Fennell Auditorium,
