Disney’s Newsies
Presented at the Hale Centre Theatre, UT. This unique production was set in-the-round, incorporating innovative stage, lighting, and lift technology. Contemporary choreography, tricking, and site-specific movement direction done by Adam Ray Dyer.
Set in turn-of-the century New York City, Newsies is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of teenaged "newsies." When titans of publishing raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for what's right!
Based on the 1992 motion picture and inspired by a true story, Newsies features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken (Little Shop of Horrors, Sister Act) and Jack Feldman and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein (Kinky Boots).
