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.
Students should prepare a 1 minute cut of a musical theatre song. We prefer if you can submit a YouTube link to us with the instrumental version of your song that you will sing to. Then the entire group will learn a dance combination. Please bring jazz dance shoes if you have them (tennis shoes if not, no barefoot dancing or dancing in open toed shoes allowed.)
