When powerful people won't listen, young people find their voice. Based on the true story of the 1899 Newsboys Strike, Newsies Jr. is a high-energy musical about kids standing up, speaking out, and discovering their power to change the world.

DISNEY’S NEWSIES JR. is presented through a special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.MTIShows.com
