Together, the newsies learn they are stronger and united, creating a movement to fight for what’s right. Disney’s Newsies Jr. is a 60-minute version of the 2012 Broadway musical.

Newsies Jr. features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein.
