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 teenage “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.

The production is the winner of 2 Tony Awards.

Tickets for students (through college) are $11. For seniors (62+)/teachers/active duty military are $13.

The general admission prices for adults are $15.
