Newsies  JR
Music b Alan Menken  | Lyrics by Jack Feldman | Book by Harvey Fierstein
Thursday 21st - Friday 22nd August 2025, 7pm│ The ACT Theatre, Kingston

Seize the Day with Disney’s rousing musical that has thrilled and inspired audiences for generations this Summer as we return to the ACT Theatre for our Summer Musical Intensive production! 

​

Inspired by the rousing true story of newsboys in turn-of-the-century New York City, Newsies JR. features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken. When powerful newspaper publishers raise prices at the newsboys' expense, the charismatic Jack Kelly rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions. Together, the newsies learn that they are stronger united and create a movement to fight for what's right. Including the now-classic songs "Carrying the Banner," "Seize the Day," and "Santa Fe," Newsies JR. is a timeless story full of spirit and heart.

​

'Newsies JR' is being performed as part of our Summer Holiday Academy 2025, open to all aged 9-16 years, with rehearsals running from the 11th-22nd August 2025 (weekdays only). You can find out how to join the cast by clicking here.
