Presented by Treasure Valley Children's Theater

EVENT DETAILS

Featuring a cast of 30 Treasure Valley youth ages 10-18 and brought to you by Arts & History Grant Recipient Treasure Valley Children's Theater, this 60-minute version of the 2012 Broadway musical is based on the 1992 film and is inspired by the rousing true story of newsboys in turn-of-the-century New York City. Newsies Jr. 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, the charismatic Jack Kelly rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions. Together, the newsies learn that they are stronger united and create a movement to fight for what’s right.
