Newsies

The National Theatre
1321 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington

Direct from Broadway with a brand new number and a cast that's making headlines, Newsies leaps onto the stage of The National Theatre in our nation's capital. Featuring a score by Alan Menken (The Little Mermaid, Sister Act: The Musical) and a book by Tony Award-winning playwright Harvey Fierstein (La Cage Aux Folles, Torch Song Trilogy), Newsies is based on the popular 1992 Disney movie starring Christian Bale about a group of newsboys who take on a ruthless newspaper tycoon. Based on true events, the musical tells the captivating story of a band of underdogs who become unlikely heroes when they stand up to the most powerful men in New York. Full of high-energy physicality, it's a rousing tale about fighting for what's right -- and staying true to who you are.
