Newsies The Musical at Cerritos Center

Why see Newsies The Musical?

Extra! Extra! Read All About It!

With music by multi-award-winning musical theatre legend Alan Menken, a book by Tony Award-winning performing icon Harvey Fierstein and lyrics by Tony-winning lyricist Jack Feldman, Disney musical Newsies was never going to be anything other than a bonafide smash hit. Winner of the 2012 Tony Award for Best Score, the critically acclaimed Broadway tuner now enjoys a hotly anticipated local revival at LA's Cerritos Center!

Set in New York at the turn of the century, the song and dance spectacular chronicles the true story of the 1899 Newsboys' Strike. Lead by the charismatic teenager Jack Kelly, a gang of young paper boys take on the man when publishing industry fat cats Joseph Pulitzer and William Hearts raise distribution prices at the cost of their already measly wages. Rallying the local youths to stand up for themselves, Kelly finds romance and a cause worth fighting for amidst classic songs like Brooklyn's Here and Something To Believe In

The King of Broadway!!

I've seen the performance of the play on Netflix and I was blown away! I'm one of the rare people who saw the movie when it was released and fell in love with it on the spot. I saw it most of the 14 nights it was in our local theatre, and waited impatiently for the VHS release. This Broadway version is not exactly the same as the movie, but it is EVERY BIT as good as the movie! The songs from the movie are still there, with slightly different lyrics, and there are several new songs. Jack's character is more in-depth than in the movie, and it adds so much interest to the already awesome story. I was excited when I saw it available on Netflix and was riveted from the moment the first note played right through to the very end. In the two days since I found it on Netflix, I've watched it at least 7 times! I live 5 hours away from Raleigh, but am already planning to travel there to see this (it's early March 2018) play as it's one of my favorite stories of all time! I can't wait! ... Read more
