NOTE: We encourage performers of all cultural backgrounds to attend.
[JACK] Male, 17 - 22 years old, Caucasian. Handsome, passionate and charismatic leader of the Newsies. A street-smart kid with a dark artistic soul right beneath the bluster. Not a blowhard. This kid's the real thing. Must have a great pop tenor voice. LEAD
[DAVEY] Male, 16 - 21 years old, Caucasian. A thinker. Raised in a home as opposed to the other Newsies, Davie is the book-smart counterpoint to the other boys. The voice of reason. A nice Jewish boy. Must have a great contemporary tenor voice. PRINCIPAL
[JOSEPH PULITZER] Male, 40s, Caucasian. The boisterous forefather of Wm. F. Buckley Jr, Glen Beck and Rupert Murdoch. An on point, know it all, politician. Impolite and impatient with the world. Must sing well. PRINCIPAL
[KATHERINE PLUMBER] Female, 17 - 22 years old, Caucasian. The strong willed daughter of Pulitzer. This young lady drips smarts, opinions and confidence. A young Katherine Hepburn or Ellen Page. This damsel needs no prince to save her. Must have a great pop/contemporary musical theater voice with a high belt. PRINCIPAL
[CRUTCHIE] Male, 17-22 years old, any ethnicity. A slight, sickly boy with a huge heart. He walks with the aid of a crutch due to a bad leg, but that doesn't hold him back from being right in the middle of any mischief. A real charmer. PRINCIPAL
[MEDDA] Female, 40s – 60s, any ethnicity. A vaudeville star of the Bowery variety. Risque, tough, with a big voice and GREAT comic delivery. PRINCIPAL
[LES] Male, 10 -12 years old, Caucasian. The fearless kid brother of Davey. Excited by everything the world has to offer and eager to join in the adventure. Fun is this kid's middle name. Must sing really well. PRINCIPAL
[LES ALTERNATE] Male, 10 -12 years old, Caucasian. The fearless kid brother of Davie. Excited by everything the world has to offer and eager to join in the adventure. Fun is this kid's middle name. Must sing really well. PRINCIPAL
