BWW Previews: NEWSIES at Saint Paul's School
Based on the true story of the newboys strike of 1899 and the Disney film of the same name, NEWSIES tells the story of the bloodline of New York, the newsies. Jack Kelly is the boldly charismatic leader of the group, but he is left dreaming about traveling out of the big city. Joseph Pulitzer owns The World, in an attempt to increase circulation, he raises the price of newspapers at the expense of the newsies. Jack, with the help of newcomer Davey and his little brother Les, rallies the boys to form their own union and strike against the most powerful man in the city, Pulitzer himself. With the help of the beautiful young journalist Kathrine Plumber and the boystorious personality of New York, Miss Meda Larkin, the newsboys shut down the city. Jack learns where his he belongs and the rest of New York learns the power of the 'little guys'.
