Inspired by the real-life โ€˜Newsboy Strike of 1899,โ€™ NEWSIES is set in New York City at the turn of the century and tells the tale of newsboy Jack Kelly, a charismatic and rebellious leader of a group of โ€œnewsiesโ€ who dreams of a life far from the hardship of the streets. When publishing titans Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst raise distribution prices at the newsboysโ€™ expense, Jack rallies his army of newsies to strike.

Jeremy Jordan (Supergirl, The Last 5 Years) will be reprising his Tony Award-nominated performance as โ€œJack Kellyโ€. NEWSIES played on Broadway from March 2012 โ€“ August 2014 and toured the US from October 2014 โ€“ October 2016.
