Disney's NEWSIES, playing at Hale Centre Theatre's newly christened Young Living Essential Oils Centre Stage in Sandy, is realistic and unexpected in its depiction of a newsboy strike.

Inspired by the real-life Newsboy Strike of 1899, Disney's NEWSIES is set to kick off Aurora Theatre's 23rd season with rousing dance numbers and non-stop fun for the whole family! This high-energy musical is set to soar onto the mainstage July 19 -September 2, where audiences will follow charismatic Jack Kelly and his ragged band of teenaged "newsies" as they strike against an unfair system in New York City at the turn of the century.

Disney's Newsies is currently playing at Peach State Summer Theatre in Valdosta, and if you're looking to get out of the hustle and grind of Atlanta for a weekend road trip to a place where they're not paving I-285, this is definitely your best-bet theatre destination. Peach State Summer Theatre's energetic production, propelled by a solid book by Harvey Fierstein and memorable music and lyrics by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman, showcases how well this 2011 tuner has aged. It's a story about bucking the corrupt establishment and fighting for an America where everyone has a chance at a piece of the dream-pie (or at least a piece of bread) in exchange for hard work. And Peach State Summer Theatre's talented cast, led by a dazzling Andrew Poston in the role of Jack Kelly and supported by Jason Lee Courson's effective scenic design and Jason Celaya's urban choreography, knows exactly how to tell this story.

Next up at the White Theatre is a joint production with Crown Center's Coterie Theatre of “Disney's Newsies;” a live stage musical version of the 1992 musical film. “Newsies” recalls the real-life newsboys' strike of 1899.   

Disney's NEWSIES will dance onto the Lake City Playhouse Stage from August 3 to August 12 as part of the Christian Youth Theatre.

Extra! Extra!!  There are only six more chances to catch the high-energy professional production of "Disney's NEWSIES the Musical" at Axelrod Performing Arts Center. A bona-fide Broadway hit, "NEWSIES" was inspired by the real-life Newsboys' Strike of 1899. Performances continue Wednesday, June 13 through Sunday, June 17.

Admirably directed and choreographed by Richard J.

Filled with high-energy music and dancing and a lively, eager-to-please spirit embedded in its DNA, this brand-new Southern California regional theater production of NEWSIES---which continues performances at the La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts through June 24---is a wonderfully caffeinated jolt of a stage show, highlighted by a remarkably talented and athletically-blessed ensemble that leaps and belts one show stopping number after another. What a treat for every Fansie!
