By: Nicole Rosky Mar. 29, 2013
In the video, Youtube personalities Patty & Emily launch their own search for Patrick's Mother- the much-loved role from the NEWSIES movie that was cut from the stage version of the show. Kate Baldwin, Laura Benanti, Jessica Phillips, Ann Harada and more all give it their best shot in hilarous auditions for the role.
Newsies features a Tony Award-winning score with music by eight-time Academy Award winner Alan Menken and lyrics by Jack Feldman, with a book by four-time Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein. Produced by Disney Theatrical Productions, Newsies is directed by Tony nominee Jeff Calhoun and choreographed by Christopher Gattelli, who won a 2012 Tony Award for his work.
Set in New York City at the turn of the century, Newsies is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a ragged band of teenaged 'newsies,' who dreams only of a better life far from the hardship of the streets. But when publishing titans Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst raise distribution prices at the newsboys' expense, Jack finds a cause to fight for and rallies Newsies from across the city to strike for what's right.
