The Tony-winning musical treat for the whole family
Salt Lake City's own Pioneer Theatre Company present their debut production of Disney's Broadway smash Newsies, as part of their exciting 2017/18 series. Inspired by true events, and based on the Disney movie from 1992, Newsies is the story of a motley crew of newspaper delivery boys who made history! Set on the cobbled streets of 1899 New York, this high-kicking musical follows a group of rebellious newsboys who decide to strike after publishing baron Joseph Pulitzer raises newspaper prices, threatening their meager earnings....
First debuting on Broadway in 2012, Newsies won two Tony Awards for its spirited score and stunning high-octane choreography. Bursting with old-fashioned musical theatre flair, classic numbers ('Seize the Day,' 'King of New York') and a cast full of plucky, local kids, Newsies is a headline-grabbing show for all the family to enjoy.
