Disney's NEWSIES to 'Get Up and Go' at Marcus Center This Week

Cast members from Disney's NEWSIES and students from Milwaukee Public Schools' Elm Creative Arts School will join together for a "Get Up and Go" workshop on Thursday, January 7, from 10 to 11 a.m., in which the stars will lead students in conversations about making healthy food choices and then teach actual dance sequences inspired by the show's thrilling production number "Seize the Day."

NEWSIES "Get Up and Go" promotes fun ways that kids can lead healthier lifestyles through dance, inspired by the show's Tony Award-winning choreography and music. NEWSIES embraces the theme that what we do together can make a change for the better. In that spirit -- and through this campaign -- the cast of NEWSIES will share the gift of dance to encourage kids to embrace physical fitness, good nutrition, and to "Seize the Day" the NEWSIES way. "Get Up and Go" is in support of Disney Magic of Healthy Living. Disney Magic of Healthy Living partners with parents and inspires kids and families to lead healthier lifestyles.

NEWSIES will play The Marcus Center for the Performing Arts as part of the Associated Bank Broadway at the Marcus Center series from Tuesday, January 5 through Sunday, January 10, 2016. Events, dates, times, prices and performers are subject to change without notice. The "Get Up and Go" workshop takes place at MPS' Elm Creative Arts School 900 W. Walnut Street Milwaukee, WI 53205.
