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.

    by Poocuts on 12/9/14Hippodrome at France-Merrick Performing Arts Center - Baltimore

    If you go for any reason, go to see the dancing. Amazing choreography, amazing dancers. The acting was so-so, some of the singers were fantastic while others were just okay, but the dancing! Superb.

    Made me want to dance!

    by gmaanne on 12/9/14Hippodrome at France-Merrick Performing Arts Center - Baltimore

    Newsies was just wonderful- the sets, the singing and best of all the dancing. I took my 2 daughters, 2 granddaughters (12 and 14) and niece. My girls and niece remembered the movie and sang along with many songs. It was a wonderful start to our holiday season.

    Went to see Newsies as a 16th birthday present for my daughter, Emma - who is a true Fansie! Really enjoyed the show, and she was so happy to meet the stars after the show at the backstage door. The stars were very happy to take selfies and sign autographs, Emma had the best birthday ever!!!

    Newsies was the best show I've ever seen

    by Anonymous on 12/8/14Hippodrome at France-Merrick Performing Arts Center - Baltimore

    This show was literally one of the best live performances I have ever seen. The adaptations from screen to stage were natural and the focus given to the cast would make any existing Newsies fan proud. The stage design was wonderfully done and the performances were spot on. This one is a must see for everybody of all ages!

    Newsies On Tour was awesome

    by Momof3fansies on 12/7/14Hippodrome at France-Merrick Performing Arts Center - Baltimore

    The show was terrific - as good as Broadway show. The stage was smaller than Nederlander and therefore some of staging was different. These kids are young, full of energy and just inspiring! An uplifting show for young and old!!!

    by Theaterbuff88 on 12/7/14Hippodrome at France-Merrick Performing Arts Center - Baltimore

    What a wonderful show! The dancing, singing and acting was superb. They put the audience right back in 1890's New York City with the sets and the costumes. I loved the authentic accents, things haven't changed much it seems.

    Newsies - A Win

    by Mydearestchuck on 12/6/14Hippodrome at France-Merrick Performing Arts Center - Baltimore

    A highly-charged, creative production that brought forth an effortless standing ovation. Many stand-out performances among young talent. Veteran Steve Blanchard has spare stage time as the villain, Pulitzer, but creates a dominant presence, nonetheless. Such a win.

    Worth Seeing

    by Rochachacha on 12/6/14Hippodrome at France-Merrick Performing Arts Center - Baltimore

    My daughters were Newsies junkies growing up, watching the video over and over. When it was coming here I knew I had to take them. We loved the show. The sets were amazing and you really weren't aware of them moving them around to take the play to another location. The dancing was great. The only criticism is that the rewritten love interest still doesn't work (it really didn't work in the movie either). Newsies is really an all boys show.
