Newsies on Tour
A family-friendly hit since its Broadway debut in 2012, Disney's Newsies: The Broadway Musical returns to stages across America. Based on the big-screen Disney musical released in 1992, the stage adaptation brings fresh energy to a rousing story that takes as its starting point the real events known as the Newsboys' Strike of 1899. When New York publishing titan Joseph Pulitzer raises newspaper prices and makes life harder for the youngsters who sell his papers, it's up to a charismatic newsboy named Jack Kelly and female news reporter Katherine Plumber to rally the newsies.
Offering nonstop thrills and an inspirational message, Newsies is an engaging and enthralling stage show that's continued to delight audiences since its original Broadway run of over 1,000 performances and its first national tour in 2014. Featuring a Tony Award-winning score, acrobatic choreography, and stirring songs ("Seize the Day," "Santa Fe," "Once and For All"), the show is a favorite for kids and adults alike.
About Newsies
The winner of Tony Awards for Best Choreography and Best Original Score in 2012, Disney's Newsies: The Broadway Musical has fast become a new classic of American musical theater. With a score by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman and a book by Harvey Fierstein, the story follows the 1992 Disney original, one of the studio's most treasured movies in recent decades. Like the movie, the musical is based on real-life in turn-of-the-century New York City, when publishing giants relied on plucky youngsters called newsies to sell their papers citywide. When newspaper magnate Joseph Pulitzer raises prices and creates new challenges for the newsies, a boy named Jack Kelly must rally his friends from all over the city to set things right.
A popular new show of the 2012 Broadway season, Newsies was nominated for seven Tony Awards, winning two. Alan Menken's score and Christopher Gattelli's choreography were both honored with Drama Desk Awards. The original Broadway run lasted over 1,000 performances before Newsies found new audiences on the North American tour that began in October of 2014 and continued for 784 performances in 65 cities. Millions more saw Newsies thanks to the filmed production released by Disney in 2017 and viewable on Disney+. Made available by Disney Theatrical Licensing in 2019, the live show has become a beloved addition to repertoires for theater companies and venues nationwide.

Rating: 2 out of 5 Not funny enough
by Arceli on 9/6/16Hollywood Pantages Theatre - Los AngelesThe show needed a bit more humor, the dancing, singing and acting were ok, but it was not funny enough. I went with my family of 6, and no one liked it, not even my youngest daughter who is 8, she wanted to leave at intermission.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Enjoyed the dancing
by momsadoc on 9/4/16Hollywood Pantages Theatre - Los AngelesInteresting story, reflecting history. A few times it seemed acoustics were not up to par with spoken words so music was dominant but not often. Enjoyed the dancing, variety and skill.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Joey Barreiro Is Life
by GrayCdee on 9/4/16Hollywood Pantages Theatre - Los AngelesLook, the musical is good. But Jack Kelly stole this damn show. The ensemble is strong. But the show is led by Joey Barreiro and Joey alone. That's all.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Newsies rock!!!!!
by Newiesfan on 9/4/16Hollywood Pantages Theatre - Los AngelesThis was one of the best shows I've seen. Everything was incredible! From the acting to the music and dancing. It was absolutely amazing! I would definitely go to see this again and I would bring my daughter with me next time. She loves gymnastics and there's a lot of it incorporated in the dancing. It's a shame I can only rate this with 5 stars. I would give it 100 if I could. Really fantastic show!! Loved it.
Rating: 5 out of 5 This night? Unsurpassed in my memory
by Anonymous on 9/3/16Hollywood Pantages Theatre - Los AngelesFive days later, I am still reliving the show in my head, scene by scene. I will not be complete until I have a chance to watch this show again. (Or Hamilton. Hamilton tickets will also fill up the hole in my heart caused by seeing Newsies one wonderful night and being cruelly thrust back into the mundane folds of humanity the next day). The set was flawless, the cast was, well, well-cast, and I am a bigger Jack Kelly fan now than I ever have been before. Props to this wonderful musical; it's timeless and its score is definitely one of the best scores Disney has written for Broadway. If given the chance, I would watch this show thrice a day. Alas, the world is not so kind and the original cast recording (Jeremy Jordan!) must suffice for now.
