Description: | It's time to carry the banner on the ACT stage with
Disney's Newsies! Set in turn-of-the century New
York City, Newsies is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a
charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of
teenaged "newsies." When titans of publishing raise
distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack
rallies newsies from across the city to strike against
the unfair conditions and fight for what's right!
Based on the 1992 motion picture and inspired by a
true story, Newsies features a Tony Award-winning
score by Alan Menken (Little Shop of Horrors, Sister
Act) and Jack Feldman and a book by Tony Award
winner Harvey Fierstein (Kinky Boots). Featuring the
now classic songs “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the
Day,” and “Santa Fe,” Newsies is packed with non-
stop thrills and a timeless message, perfect for the
whole family and every audience. |
