Disney’s Newsies JR. is a 60-minute version of the 2012 Broadway musical, based on the 1992 film inspired by the rousing true story of newsboys at the turn-of-the-century. When powerful newspaper publishers raise prices at the newsboys’ expense, the charismatic Jack Kelly rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions. Together, the newsies learn that they are stronger united and create a movement to fight for what’s right. Newsies JR. features a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein and a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman, including the now-classic songs “Seize the Day,” and “Santa Fe.” Newsies JR. is a timeless story full of spirit and heart.
