NEWSIES

Inspired the real life Newsboy Strike of 1889, this Disney musical tells the story of a rebellious newsboy who dreams of a life as an artist far away from New York City.

With show-stopping numbers, this musical has inspired thousands of "Fansies" who can't get enough of the uplifting songs and message.

Music by Alan Menken I Lyrics by Jack Feldman I Book by Harvey Fierstein
