Disney's Newsies

Disney’s Newsies, based on the 1992 motion picture, features music by eight-time Academy Award® winner Alan Menken (Beauty
and the Beast, Aladdin, Sister Act), lyrics by Jack Feldman and a book by four-time Tony Award® winner Harvey Fierstein (La Cage
aux Folles, Torch Song Trilogy). While on Broadway, Newsies received 23 major theatrical nominations – including eight Tony Award®
nods – and won Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for score and choreography.

Newsies is inspired by the real-life “Newsboy Strike of 1899,” when newsboy Kid Blink led a band of orphan and runaway newsboys
on a two-week-long action against Pulitzer, Hearst, and other powerful newspaper publishers. Timely and fresh, the fictionalized
adaptation of Newsies addresses age-old themes of social injustice, exploitative labor practices, and David-versus-Goliath
struggles as the young learn to harness their power against a corrupt establishment. High-energy with non-stop thrills, the stage
version introduces eight brand-new songs by the original team of Menken and Feldman while retaining many of the beloved
songs from the film, including “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day,” “King of New York” and “Santa Fe.”
