About

They delivered the papers, until they made the headlines…Direct from Broadway comes NEWSIES, the smash-hit, crowd-pleasing new musical from Disney. Winner of the 2012 Tony Awards® for Best Score and Best Choreography, NEWSIES has audiences and critics alike calling it "A MUSICAL WORTH SINGING ABOUT!" (The New York Times) Filled with one heart-pounding number after another, it's a high-energy explosion of song and dance you just don't want to miss.

Based on true events, NEWSIES tells the captivating story of a band of underdogs who become unlikely heroes when they stand up to the most powerful men in New York. It's a rousing tale about fighting for what's right…and staying true to who you are.

NEWSIES was brought to the stage by an award-winning creative team. It features a score by Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast) and Jack Feldman (The Lion King II: Simba's Pride) and a book by Harvey Fierstein (La Cage Aux Folles), with choreography by Christopher Gattelli (South Pacific) and direction by Jeff Calhoun (Big River).

Now is the time to seize the day with NEWSIES!

    Newsies was full of energy!

    by Newsiesfan12 on 8/10/16Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Cast was very expressive( but I had to use binoculars to see from balcony) and way more professional than I thought they would be.....story line, although a bit different from the movie, was excellent. Gymnastics wasn't as good as the movie, but still fun. The cadence of the rise and fall of the speaking voice of the lead female was very predictable...almost annoying. For a show expounding on the rights of the working class, the price wasn't very working class friendly.

    Newsies was awesome!

    by LynnBoos on 8/10/16Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    The show was fantastic. The dance was par none. It pulled you into the story and held you until the end. On a side note we paid for the special room fee. It was also superb ! The food and bartender were great. Thanks for a great time.

    Simply Outstanding

    by Skippy59 on 8/10/16Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Love exposing our children to culture events, but was annoyed that the tickets to Newies were so expensive. I thought this is Chicago not New York. I couldn't have been more wrong. This musical was beyond outstanding. The dancing with all the guys incredible, breath taking, and amazing. ( I have danced for over 40 years, tap being my favorite) Besides the dancing, the staging was mind blowing. How the choreographer and set director got together to put on this show was perfection at it's finest! I'll be honest I was a little disappointed in the female leads tap number. I wanted more, but maybe she isn't a tapper...I can see why the tickets were expensive and worth every penny! Had an amazing experience!

    AAAAAAMAZING!!!!!!

    by Kaneal73 on 8/10/16Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Newsies was amazing! I would see this show again and again! Every actor in this show was engaging and charismatic. The singing and dancing and stage props were off the charts! So so good. I took my 7 year old and 10 year old daughters and they were highly engaged for the entire show. My 10 year old told me she wished she could be in the show. Great job!

    I saw it twice. Had to bring my niece to see the amazing dancing. The show was better than the original movie! Meant for the stage.

    Newsies changed my life.

    by Sarahdm79 on 8/10/16Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Such a moving show. Brings so much emotion and feelings. I laughed, I cried, I gasped, I sang... It was wonderful. Everyone in the cast is so sweet at the stage door and they're all very genuine. Their talent is phenomenal and the dancing is the best dancing I've ever seen in a show. It's amazing to see a bunch of guys involved in theatre like this, considering at my school we have to drag guys into auditioning for productions. I highly recommend this show before it ends on October 2nd! And don't forget to meet everyone at the stage door and congratulate them all for their accomplishments!

    Absolutely stunning!

    by TheTheaterEnthusiast1 on 8/9/16Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    I ended up seeing the show twice over two consecutive nights... the performances were that amazing! The singing - particularly by the Newsies ensemble and Joey Barreiro who plays the leading role of Jack Kelly - gave me the chills and the dancing was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. And there was plenty of humor sprinkled in between scenes that added even more to an already outstanding show. I'm very upset the tour is ending in October - I've got my fingers crossed for an NYC Broadway revival!

    Newsies was amazing!!!!

    by LisaMayes on 8/9/16Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    I love this show! It was my second time seeing it and it was just as good if not better than the first. The Cadillac theater is incredible and we got suite service which just made our day even better! The actors were fabulous dancers and singer and it was so memorizing to watch them all. The set is so uniquely designed and fit that stage really well.

    The musical Newsies was enjoyed by my entire party of seven. Personally I did not know that there had been a movie of the same name made years ago, but now that I've seen the play, I will look it up as well!
