Disney's Newsies at Orlando Repertory Theatre

Based on the 1992 film of the same name and inspired by the events of the real-life Newsboy Strike of 1899, this Disney musical tells the story of Jack Kelly, a feisty New York City newsboy who dreams of a simpler life away from the big city. When publishing giant Joseph Pulitzer raises the price of the paper at the newsboys’ expense, Jack rallies his fellow newsboys to fight back. With help from spunky female reporter Katherine Plumber and a few new friends, the whole world finds out what happens when “the little guys” stand up and seize the day.
