Disney’s “Newsies, Jr.” 2025

Disney’s “Newsies Jr.” is a high-energy, youth-friendly adaptation of Disney's hit musical Newsies. Set in 1899 New York City, it follows charismatic newsboy Jack Kelly and his band of teenage "newsies" as they take a stand against powerful newspaper publishers. When the greedy Joseph Pulitzer raises newspaper prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack rallies the newsies to strike for fair treatment. Alongside newcomer Katherine Plumber, an ambitious young reporter, the newsies band together to fight for justice, friendship, and the power of young voices. Packed with spirited songs like "Carrying the Banner," "Seize the Day," and "King of New York," Newsies Jr. celebrates courage, unity, and standing up for what’s right.
