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!

    My Favorite Musical of All Time

    by JayW0508 on 8/6/16Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    This was my third time seeing Newsies and it was just as amazing as the first two. Newsies sparked my inspiration for pursuing a career in theatre and I'm so glad that I got to see it with multiple casts. The choreography was unbelievable and every song can get stuck in your head: there isn't a single annoying one! The vocal microphones could've been a little bit louder because they were slightly overpowered by the orchestra at a few points, but I could still understand what the actors were singing. The one annoying thing was that the show switched venues from the Oriental Theatre in Chicago to the Cadillac Palace in Chicago and the seats I was switched to weren't even in the same section. Though they were still in the "orchestra", they were orchestra-right when I initially chose orchestra-center. The seats were still good, but I was very excited to be able to sit in the 4th row front-and-center, which I ultimately couldn't do. The other thing was that I bought my seats before general sale with a code and wouldn't have been able to switch them until general sale, at which point all the center seats would've already sold out. The only reason this review isn't five stars is because of the seating issue. It's not a reflection on the actual show.

    Great Show for Kids or Adults

    by Anonymous on 8/4/16Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    This is a great show. Most people I talk to have never heard of it, but it is well worth the price of admission. And I am NOT a teenage girl. Awesome voices and amazing dance moves.

    Amazing

    by KAK2 on 8/3/16Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    I went to see this because I love the movie. That being said I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about changes from movie. Thankfully most of the changes were for the better, but some of the little ones annoyed me, like why did they change a lyric from stupid to nitwit?!?!? The casting was phenomenal, and they were all exceptionally talented. I think anyone who enjoys musicals will enjoy this show. The dancers/acrobats were better than I can describe.

    The dancing was so upbeat and moving. Made you want to tap your feet. The staging was nicely done. The flips and splits added to all the dancing. Great show all around.

    Newsies a fun Experience

    by TyMay on 8/3/16Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    There are not very many productions that captivate children and adults but Newsies does that and more. Great choreographed numbers, music was great and you cannot have a Disney experience without a happy ending! Worth the time for the family (minus a couple of "bad" words); note if this were a movie it would likely be PG-13 but very light hearted and fun.

    "Newsies" is wonderful!

    by Newsie65 on 8/2/16Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    This is the fourth time I have seen "Newsies" and this was the best one yet. My only disappointment was with the post-show merchandise. We bought a pair of sweat pants that were touted as "one size" and were told they were a small. They should have said a "small" child size, as my petite 5-foot size 3 daughter cannot even get into them! Yet they had an extra 8-10" of length - they are made for a 6-foot spider monkey, apparently! There goes $35 down the drain. But the show is AMAZING!!!
