Description
Newsies Jr. Grades 4th - 8th
Disney's Newsies JR. is a 60-minute version of the 2012 Broadway musical, based on the 1992 film. Inspired by the rousing true story of newsboys in turn-of-the-century New York City, Newsies JR. features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein.
When powerful newspaper publishers raise prices at the newsboys' expense, the charismatic Jack Kelly rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions. Together, the newsies learn that they are stronger united and create a movement to fight for what's right.

*Please mark all dates down in your calendar. It is imperative that all students attend all classes if at all possible. Staff and students will be putting together a 60 minute musical and it is very important to have all students in class as everyone counts on each other. Putting together a show is truly a team effort! Students that miss more than two classes may possibly be removed from musical numbers they were not in class to learn. Re-teaching numbers that were not learned in class can take time away from learning the show for other students.
We look forward to taking this journey with our students!!
PLEASE NOTE: REFUNDS WILL NOT BE GIVEN. ALL SALES FINAL!
