The musical is a shortened version of the 2012 Broadway musical based on the 1992 film. It is inspired by the true story of newsboys in turn-of-the-century New York City. When newspaper publishers raise prices at the newsboys’ expense, the newsies rally together to strike against the unfair conditions.
The cast is led by Alex Evans as Jack Kelly, who rallies the newsies across the city with the help of his sidekicks, especially Erin Kridler as Crutchie and Emma Johnson as Davey. The newsies are helped by an up-and-coming reporter Katherine, played by Morgan Boersma.
The musical is directed by TK music teacher Laura Oprea.
