If you even mention the word "Newsies" at my house all three of my kids will simultaneously break into singing "Open the gates and seize the day! Don't be afraid and don't delay!" It's no joke. Since the movie's release in 1992, I have been a HUGE fan of the Disney motion picture and have raised my kids on the soundtrack and the film. When my nine-year-old heard that Disney's Newsies is also a hit stage musical and that it is coming to La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts in June 2018, she freaked out!
Set in New York at the turn of the century, Disney's Newsies tells the story of charismatic newsboy Jack Kelly, his rag tag band of teenage "newsies", and their battle with publishing titans Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst over the price increase for their livelihood - "papes". Jack rallies the newsies not only from his borough, but the newsies from across the entire city. Disney Newsies will have you singing along and wishing you could join Jack and his newsies in their cause!
Disney's Newsies will debut at La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts Friday, June 1, 2018 and run through Sunday, June 24, 2018 - closing out the 2017-2018 season for the iconic La Mirada Theatre.
