Newsies

Disney’s Newsies is a hit Broadway musical based on the 1992 film. Set during the 1899 Newsboys Strike in New York City, it follows charismatic newsboy Jack Kelly, who rallies fellow newsies against unfair price hikes by newspaper giant Joseph Pulitzer. It features a score by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman.
