NEWSADOOZIES Enters Sixth Month at UCB Theatre

 NEWSADOOZIES: A Man-Eating Musical, a new musical parody of the cult movie/Broadway musical Newsies, enters its sixth month at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, 307 West 26th Street (west of 8th Ave).  Showtimes are: Monday, August 20^th @ 9:30PM and Monday, August 27^th @ 9:30PM (both dates paired with Dogfleet). Tickets are $5 and can be reserved at http://newyork.ucbtheatre.com/shows/view/3015.

Newsadoozies is being made into a feature film this fall for submission to festivals!  There will be more blood, more people, more cannibalism!  Look for more details soon.  

Newsadoozies stars Brian Glidewell (College Humor, UCB team Ragnarock), Megan Maes (Baby Wants Candy, Improv Everywhere), Amy Jo Jackson (Nymph Errant), Michael Martin (UCB team Thunder Gulch), Aaron Jackson (UCB teams Sandino and Everything Rabbits), Dan Hodapp (The Scene, UCB’s Beige), and Stephanie Streisand (Late Night With Jimmy Fallon). Brian Glidewell and Marcy Jarreau (Girl Camp, The To-Do List) wrote the book and lyrics with music and additional lyrics by Kevin Carter (Summer Schlock, That’s Andy). Christopher Gladysz directs.

Billy Headlines and his fellow newsboys (or for short, the newsies. Or for even shorter, the newsadoozies!) are getting along as best they can amongst the kidney thieves, pissing bums and heroin dens of New York, circa eighteen something!  But they’re about to meet a problem bigger than any they’ve encountered before.  Will friendship and principles win out over what lies behind Helga Von Schmidt’s doors?  Newsadoozies is a new musical comedy chronicling the newsboys of New York City (the ‘ninety-nine percent’ of their era) in their adventures of selling newspapers, finding love, and getting eaten by the members of an ancient evil cannibalistic sex cult.
