ABOUT THIS SHOW:
Disney's Newsies JR. is a 60-minute version of the 2012 Broadway musical, based on the 1992 film. When powerful newspaper publishers raise prices at the newsboys' expense, the charismatic Jack Kelly rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions. Together, the newsies learn that they are stronger united and create a movement to fight for what's right. Including the now-classic songs "Carrying the Banner," "Seize the Day," and "Santa Fe," Newsies JR. is a timeless story full of spirit and heart.​

opens your mind, embraces and even dares you.
Every performer should have an opportunity to be
on the receiving end of that. The stage truly belongs to you!"
