Newsies the Musical Tickets

In 1899, the most hapless section of New York City's society, the kids that distributed newspapers, often called "newsies" or "newsboys" revolted for better working conditions, and especially against rising newspaper prices. Newsies the musical captures this unlikely movement of the city, which erupted out of nowhere, in its plot. Based on a true story, it is also one of the latest musicals in the town. Given that it has had its Broadway premier only a few weeks ago, it is noteworthy to mention that it has already been nominated for various prestigious awards like Outer Critics Circle Award and Drama Desk Award. In short, Newsies the musical is the best staged show in town!

Based on Harvey Fierstein's book, its lyrics are written by Jack Feldman and the melodious music is of none other than Alan Menken's. Newsies the musical is based on the 1992 movie of the same name. The movie, as well as the musical, is both produced by Walt Disney Productions, an entertainment house dedicated to entertaining the kids and the adults alike. The musical had its off-Broadway premier in 2011 at the Paper Mill Playhouse, situated in Millburn, New Jersey. It was an instant success because of the fact that it was based on a real life event, and also because it had songs from the movie as well as some new songs, especially composed for the musical. Masterfully choreographed by Christopher Gattelli and directed by Jeff Calhoun, the musical had its Broadway premier only a year later.

Buy Newsies the musical tickets now and you will get to watch your favorite actors like Andrew Keenan-Bolger, Ben Fankhauser, Capathia Jenkins, John Dossett (Joseph Pulitzer) and Jeremy Jordan (Jack Kelly), playing leading roles in the musical's Broadway production. Jack Kelly is one of the many newsies in the big city, who have to endure harsh working conditions to make a living. Most of them are homeless, and are essentially eking out a living by selling newspapers. They are however not employs of any newspaper publishing company, but instead act as independent agents. When Joseph Pulitzer, owner of the New York Sun, suddenly increases the price of his newspaper, the sales drop, making the lives of newsies even harsher. Under these circumstances, Kelly organizes a protest, which ends up in a confrontation between the boys, Pulitzer, strikebreakers and the police. Ultimately the governor of New York, Theodore Roosevelt breaks the impasse.

Reviewing Newsies the musical and its off-Broadway production, the New York Times was all-praise: "'Newsies' will open in time to qualify for the Tony Award in a season when the Tony for best musical is seen as up for grabs; 'Newsies' is already considered a likely contender for a nomination even before the show opens."
