About This Performance
Newsies Jr. brings the beloved Disney musical to young performers in an adaptation specifically designed for junior and student theater groups. Based on the 1992 Disney film and the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, this inspiring story follows Jack Kelly and the newsboys of 1899 New York as they band together to fight against unfair working conditions. With its themes of friendship, courage, and standing up for what's right, the musical has become a favorite among youth theater programs nationwide.
Expect an energetic, family-friendly production filled with rousing songs like "Carrying the Banner" and "Seize the Day," along with dynamic choreography that showcases young talent. The show's uplifting message about finding your voice and fighting for justice resonates with audiences of all ages, while the period costumes and urban setting transport viewers to turn-of-the-century Manhattan. This Jr. version maintains all the heart of the original while being perfectly suited for younger performers and shorter attention spans.
The Walnut Street Theatre, America's oldest theater, provides an intimate and historic setting for this production. Located in Philadelphia's Washington Square West neighborhood, this beautiful venue has been nurturing theatrical talent since 1809. The theater's commitment to quality productions and community engagement makes it an ideal home for showcasing the next generation of performers in this beloved musical.
