Disney’s NEWSIES JR.

by

Disney’s Newsies JR. is a 60-minute version of the 2012 Broadway musical, based on the 1992 film. 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 and Jack Feldman and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein.

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.

Family Day

Join us for our 3rd annual Family Day at the Legacy of the Lakes Museum! This year, musical guests Louis & Dan and the Invisible Band will have even the adults tapping their toes along with the tunes.

From Louis & Dan and the Invisible Band:
“Like the great songwriting duos of yesteryear, Louis & Dan bring comedy and smarts to music for today’s families. Best friends, neighbors, and college professors, they go together like Tacos and Tuesdays. Louis & Dan blend unique musical talents and clever word play to create deeply authentic and entertaining music. Their whimsical perspectives carry a dash of nostalgia, resulting in music that speaks to curious kids and discerning grown-ups alike.”
