Disney's Newsies
by SummerStock Austin

Jul. 31 - Aug. 09

Based on the true story of the 1899 Newsboys Strike, Disney’s Newsies is a bold, exhilarating musical about young people discovering the power they hold when they stand together. In a world that expects them to stay quiet, these newsies choose to rise, speak out, and fight for something better. Filled with soaring music, explosive choreography, and unstoppable energy, Newsies is a celebration of resilience, community, and the belief that tomorrow can be changed by those brave enough to seize the day.Music by Alan Menken
