Get ready to see the News at the Saenger Theatre (1111 Canal Street)! They delivered the papers, until they made the headlines…Direct from Broadway comes Newsies, the smash-hit, crowd-pleasing new musical from Disney. Winner of the 2012 Tony® Awards for Best Score and Best Choreography. Filled with one heart-pounding number after another, it’s a high-energy explosion of song and dance you just don’t want to miss.
