Disney\u2019s Newsies JR. is a 60-minute version of the 2012 Broadway musical, based on the 1992 film. Inspired by the rousing true story of newsboys in turn-of-the-century New York City, Newsies JR. features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein. When powerful newspaper publishers raise prices at the newsboys\u2019 expense, the charismatic Jack Kelly rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions. Together, the newsies learn that they are stronger united and create a movement to fight for what\u2019s right. Including the now-classic songs \u201cCarrying the Banner,\u201d \u201cSeize the Day,\u201d and \u201cSanta Fe,\u201d Newsies JR. is a timeless story full of spirit and heart.<\/p>\n
