Inspired by the true story of the 1899 Newsboys' Strike, Newsies is a high-energy, crowd-thrilling musical about resilience, solidarity, and the power of young people to change the world. When newspaper publisher giants raise prices at the expense of the city's poorest newsies, charismatic Jack Kelly rallies his fellow “paper kids” to fight back.
