(Nederlander Theatre, 208 West 41st St, New York, NY, 10036)
Based upon the real-life Newsboy Strike of 1899, this high-energy, crowd-pleasing new musical from Disney tells the story of a band of teenaged newspaper boys who become unlikely heroes when they courageously take on the biggest names in publishing. With a score by Disney legend and eight-time Academy Award winner Alan Menken (Beauty and The Beast, Sister Act) and Jack Feldman and a book by four-time Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein (La Cage Aux Folles, Torch Song Trilogy), this dynamic smash hit is choreographed by Tony Award nominee Christopher Gattelli (South Pacific) and directed by Tony Award nominee Jeff Calhoun (Big River).($93+)
