The Grand Theatre announces Newsies as the 2025 High School Project.
JACK LEADS A GROUP OF YOUNG NEWSIES IN A STRIKE THAT MAKES THE HISTORY BOOKS - AND THE HEADLINES. BUILT AND PERFORMED BY THE GRAND THEATRE HIGH SCHOOL PROJECT STUDENTS!
Step into turn-of-the-century New York City, a time of skyscrapers and money makers, with Disney’s Newsies: the story of charismatic Jack Kelly and his gritty band of newsies who keep the stories moving, selling papers throughout the town.
But when greedy publishing giants decide to raise distribution prices at the newsies’ expense, it’s up to Jack and his pals to be stronger together and fight for what’s right!
Famed for its imaginative and iconic dance sequences, this vibrant musical spectacular is based in the 1992 Disney motion picture, inspired by a true story, and features a Tony-Award winning score that includes songs such as “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day,” and “King of New York.”
