Newsies Jr

Newsies is inspired by the real-life Newsboy Strike of 1899. Set in New York City at the turn of the century, it tells the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a ragged band of teenaged newsies, who dreams only of a better life far from the hardship of the streets.
But when publishing titans Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst raise distribution prices at the newsboys expense, Jack finds a cause to fight for and rallies newsies from across the city to strike for whats right.
Timely and fresh, the fictionalised adaptation of Newsies addresses age-old themes of social injustice, exploitative labour practices, and struggles against a corrupt establishment; it is high energy with non-stop thrills.
