Saw it on Broadway and was blown away by the tour. The production is the exact Broadway set, music, costumes, lighting but the bonus is the cast. The leads Dan Deluca and Stephanie Styles have the most chemistry of any previous actors. Styles' Katherine is brilliant. Her comedic take and amazing vocals make her solo Watch What Happens a real stand out. The newsboys are younger than the Broadway cast making the story feel more real and they are the stars of the show with Ben Cook stealing the show. Jacob Kemp as Davey has outstanding voice. The added song for Crutchie sung beautifully by Zachary Sayle is wonderful. Newsies is great for families, date night and all ages. don't miss it!

I really wanted to love it but ...

... they made WAY TOO MANY major changes. I feel that the production could have been a million times better with better writing, way less changes, and smoother transitions. If I could give 5 stars to the ensemble singing and dancing I would. My problem is they made way too many story line and character changes that weren't necessary. It starts off with a ballad which cut down the initial energy that I was used to feeling once the movie starts. I am choosing not to identify the most drastic changes because I don't want to spoil it but I was annoyed the first minute of the production. The new songs that were added lacked the craft of the originals. They also change the lyrics of some of the old songs (and it wasn't for the better). The icing on the cake was the guy who played Davy ... was over-the-top whiny (a mixture between Ross in the later years of Friends and Mort from Family Guy). He did have a beautiful voice, though.
