Newsies (2025)

Newsies

Book by Harvey Fierstein; Music by Alan Menken; Lyrics by Jack Feldman

Musical Comedy

It’s time to carry the banner on The Barn’s stage with 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 and every audience.

Based on the Disney film written by Bob Tzudiker and Noni White.
Newsies is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
