SYNOPSIS
DOWNLOAD THE PROGRAM
Disney's NEWSIES
RUNNING TIME:
Approximately 2 hrs 20 min (includes intermission)
CONTENT ADVISORY:
Suitable for all audiences.

Bill Hanney is excited to present the Rhode Island professional premiere of Disney’s Newsies. 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). Featuring the now classic songs “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day,” and “Santa Fe,” Newsies is packed with non-stop thrills and a timeless message, perfect for the whole family!

Music by: ALAN MENKEN
Lyrics by: JACK FELDMAN
Book by: HARVEY FIERSTEIN
Based on the Disney film written by BOB TZUDIKER and NONI WHITE.
Director: RICHARD SABELLICO
Choreographer: CHARLIE SUTTON
Musical Director: JACOB PRIDDY

Disney's NEWSIES is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.MTIShows.com
