Disney's Newsies JR. is a 60-minute version of the 2012 Broadway musical, based on the 1992 film. Inspired by the rousing true story of newsboys in turn-of-the-century New York City, it features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein.

When powerful newspaper publishers raise prices at the newsboys' expense, charismatic Jack Kelly rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions. Together, the newsies learn they are stronger united and create a movement to fight for what's right.

Featuring the songs “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day,” and “Santa Fe,” Newsies JR. is a timeless story full of spirit and heart. This production is performed entirely by youth as part of the Hale Arts and Education Program, sponsored by Mountain America Credit Union. Adapted for the stage as a 70-minute musical, it is appropriate for all ages and performed by youth for youth.

Estimated run time: approximately 60 minutes.
