On August 24, 2014, NEWISES closed on Broadway. Exactly one year later, cast members from the hit Broadway musical came together on the stage of 54 Below to reminisce. In the lineup were songs of various music styles, stories and memories of their time with the show. Below, watch as Andrew Keenan-Bolger, the original Crutchie, performs 'Letter from the Refuge'- a song that wasn't added to the show until the launch of the national tour.

Audiences in Orange County were treated to live performances of shows featured in the 2015-2016 season at the Segerstrom Center. The shows featured were THE LION KING, CABARET, NEWSIES, CINDERELLA, THE SOUND OF MUSIC, and THE ILLUSIONISTS. Scroll for performance photos below!
