Jack Kelly (16-25, Male, any ethnicity) The charismatic leader of the Manhattan newsies. He is an orphaned dreamer and artist who yearns to get out of the crowded streets of New York and make a better life for himself out West. Fiercely protective of his best friend, Crutchie, and strongly loyal, Jack isn’t afraid to use his voice to attain better conditions for the working kids of New York City. Though living on the streets has given him a tough-guy exterior, Jack has a big heart and can demonstrate a sweet vulnerability. Has a great pop tenor voice and sense of physicality. Range: Bb2-A4
Crutchie (16-25, Male, any ethnicity) A dedicated newsie with a bum leg that’s painful but helps sell more papers. Though he walks with the assistance of a crutch, Crutchie doesn’t let it define him; he relies on a goofy-sweet sense of humor and optimistic resilience. Crutchie is the heart of the resistance. Range: C3-A4
Davey (16-25, Male, any ethnicity) Les’s strait-laced, bright big brother who starts selling newspapers to help his family earn a living but becomes swept up in the fervor of the strike.

Les (10-15, Male, any ethnicity) Davey’s cheeky younger brother is inspired by the freedom of the newsies and loves their independent lifestyle.

Excellent dancers and singers. Tap dancing and tumbling skills are a plus.
Katherine Plumber (16-25, Female, any ethnicity) An ambitious young reporter who works hard to make a name for herself as a legitimate journalist in a time when women aren’t taken seriously. Quick, funny, and resourceful, she boldly captures the voice of a new generation rising in her coverage of the newsies’ strike. While she generally has no time for cocky, streetwise young men, she makes an exception for Jack Kelly. Tap dancing skills are a plus. Range: A3-F5
Joseph Pulitzer (35-50, Male, any ethnicity) A pompous businessman through and through, he owns the World and is concerned solely with the bottom line. Katherine’s no-nonsense father, Pulitzer doesn’t sympathize with the strikers, but he does eventually – and grudgingly – respect Jack. Range: F4-C3
Medda Larkin (25-45, Female, Black) Inspired by vaudeville performer Aida Overton Walker, this big-voiced saloon singer and star of the Bowery offers her theater as a safe haven for the newsies. An astute entertainer with great comic delivery, she’s a good friend to Jack and stands firmly behind the newsies in their fight for justice. Range: F3-E5
