Stop the presses! 5-Star is proud to present the regional premiere of this rousing musical about standing your ground and fighting for what’s right. Based on the 1992 Walt Disney film and inspired by the true story of the 1899 New York City newsboy strike, the show follows a scrappy band of ink-stained street kids as they push back against the corporate greed of Big Apple media barons Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst. 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”). Songs like “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day,” and “Santa Fe” deliver a powerful, timeless message: “Wrongs will be righted, if we’re united.”
