Newsies is an inspiring musical based on the real-life Newsboy Strike of 1899. It follows Jack Kelly, a charismatic and determined newsboy who dreams of escaping the harsh streets of New York for a better life in Santa Fe. When publishing giants Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst raise newspaper prices at the expense of the struggling newsboys, Jack and his fellow "newsies" take a stand, organizing a strike to demand fair treatment. With the help of Katherine Plumber, an ambitious young journalist eager to make a name for herself, the newsies rally together to fight for justice.
As tensions rise, Jack is torn between his loyalty to his friends and his fear of putting them in danger. With perseverance, teamwork, and unwavering courage, the newsies prove that even the youngest and poorest can make a difference. Featuring high-energy dance numbers and beloved songs like Seize the Day and King of New York, Newsies is a thrilling tale of empowerment, resilience, and the power of standing up for what’s right.
