We are proud to present our energetic school production of Disney’s Newsies – The Broadway Musical.
More than 100 students and staff will bring the entertaining musical to life on our Performing Arts Centre stage, with many months of hard work going in to perfecting lines, dance routines and musical scores.
Based on the real-life Newsboy Strike of 1899, this Disney musical tells the story of Jack Kelly, a rebellious newsboy who dreams of a life as an artist away from the big city.
After publishing giant Joseph Pulitzer raises newspaper prices at the newsboys' expense, Kelly and his newsies take action.
With help from the beautiful female reporter Katherine Plumber, all of New York City soon recognises the power of "the little man".
Musical Director Amelia Hinschen said a highlight from rehearsals for the musical was the broad range of talent showcased by the students.
“They are a talented and creative group of singers, dancers, musicians and actors who put their own flair on their characters and are willing to try what will work best as a cast,” she said.
Students’ skills are also shining out of the spotlight, with many assisting with making props, sewing costumes, painting sets, preparing the technical side of the show and assisting in roles backstage.
Don’t miss the opportunity to support our students and enjoy an unforgettable theatrical experience for the whole family.
