Description

Set in New York City at the turn of the last century and based on a true story, Newsies is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, leader of a ragged band of teenage “newsies” who dream only of a better life far from the hardship of the streets. But when two publishing titans raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack finds a cause to fight for. Filmed live at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood, CA, this high-energy, not-to-be-missed version of the hit Broadway show fills the stage with more “newsies” and dancing than ever before!

    I love this movie so much! I have seen at least thirty Broadway shows live, and even if this one is not live it is still by far my favorite! I am playing Katherine in our local town and I am so glad to be cast as such an amazing influential woman! But this movie is the bom.com! Lol 😂 Remember to buy a smile on someone’s face! And also remember that God loves you so much!!!!!! Sorry this took so long, had a lot to say!!!!!!

    Okay so no I haven’t bought this. I watch it on Disney + instead. I’ve watched this movie so many times I’ve lost count! XD! I got to watch this on broadway but it was so long ago I don’t remember much. (I was only seven at the time). At one point I even forgot the name of it... I do however remember a few little bits here and there of it. The only reason I got to see it on broadway was because I got the chance to go with my high school band (which I am now a part of or at least the marching band portion of it). I am soooo glad they added the letter from the refuge or whatever it’s called because it adds so much to Crutchie’s character. Okay soo yes I know I’m jumping around different topics but I have sooo much to say and it’s hard to say it all. Anyway I’m so happy I get to watch this movie because it brings back the memory of watching it when it was on broadway and how I hurt my finger right before... or was that when we watched the phantom of the opera... ummmm... anyway. I even still have my ticket. This movie has helped me rekindle my love of Newsies. I know that when or if I ever have kids I’m going to share this with them. This is getting kinda just a little bit long but anyway... I’m going to seize the day to watch Newsies again... yes again
