Newsies The Musical
NEW YORK CITY, 1899 - City wide strikes bring attention to workers rights. Newsies rally on the stage of the Palace Theater in Chubbuck, Idaho, as Jack Kelly (played by Elijah Spreier and Jack Johnson) and Davey Jacobs (played by Andre Tolman and Jordan Radford) struggle to organize strikes against the unfair terms being forced onto the newsboys by publisher of The New York World, Joseph Pulitzer (played by Logan Lindholm), in order to protect his bottom line. Despite Pulitzer’s best efforts to keep them quiet and out of sight from the public attention, the voice of the newsies is found and heard with the help of journalist Katherine Plumber (played by Emma Manska and Abby McAllister). At the turn of the century, so too turns the page of the human story, and that story will no longer be told only one way. The world will know, once and for all, that when the big man tells you to stand down, you don’t shut up, you square up. Directed by Tiffani Briscoe and Abby Newell, choreographed by Mic Thompson and Jenna Davies, Newsies will deliver the story of the century to communities in the region on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from March 30th through April 29th. To purchase tickets, call the Palace Theatre box office at 208-238-8001, visit in person at 158 E Chubbuck Road on Monday through Friday from 12pm to 6pm, or buy tickets online at palacetheatrearts.com/newsies.
