Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Newsies Jr. is a high-energy, family-friendly adaptation of the hit Broadway musical, perfect for young performers and audiences alike. Set in New York City at the turn of the 20th century, this inspiring story follows a group of young newsboys who take a stand against powerful newspaper publishers when prices are raised at their expense. Led by charismatic leader Jack Kelly, the newsies rally together to fight for justice and fair wages. Filled with rousing dance numbers, unforgettable songs like “Seize the Day” and “Santa Fe,” and a heartwarming message about courage, friendship, and standing up for what’s right, Newsies Jr. will have audiences cheering for these underdogs as they take on the big city and make their voices heard!
