Disney’s Newsies is a high-energy, crowd-pleasing musical inspired by the true story of the 1899 New York City newsboys’ strike. Filled with unforgettable songs, explosive dancing, and a powerful message about standing up for what’s right, Newsies follows charismatic newsboy Jack Kelly as he rallies a group of young workers to fight for justice against powerful newspaper publishers. Featuring thrilling choreography and beloved songs like “Seize the Day” and “King of New York,” Newsies is a bold, inspiring celebration of courage, friendship, and the power of young voices. Music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Jack Feldman, book by Harvey Fierstein.
