'Newsies'

ABOUT NEWSIES

Disney's Newsies: The Musical is inspired by the 1899 newsboy strike in NYC, following charismatic leader Jack Kelly, who rallies his fellow, underpaid newsies against publishing giants Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst. After prices are raised on the newsboys, they form a union to fight for better conditions, turning to activism to demand fair treatment.
