Set in turn-of-the-century New York City, Newsies is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of teenaged "newsies". When titans of publishing raise distribution prices at the newsboys' expense, Jack rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for what's right!
Based on the 1992 motion picture and inspired by a true story, Newsies features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken (Little Shop of Horrors, Sister Act) and Jack Feldman and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein (Kinky Boots). Featuring the now classic songs "Carrying the Banner," "Sieze the Day," and "Santa Fe," Newsies is packed with non-stop thrills and a timeless message.

BENEFICIARY
Stages performances improve the community by encouraging young performers to use and share their talents to help others. The performances of Newsies benefit the Child Life Program at UR Medicine’s Golisano Children’s Hospital by collecting Grab and Go Activity Packs, New Board Books and New Children’s Books (English/Spanish - No holiday or religious content please).A major component of Child Life program is providing opportunities to play. Within the healthcare setting, play provides opportunities for choice, control, creative expression and socialization. It also helps children communicate and cope constructively with their feelings about illness and hospitalization. Activities for adolescents help foster peer relations and boost self-esteem.Golisano Children's Hospital sincerely appreciates the generosity of our community. We are happy to have you as part of our amazing healthcare community.
