"...features stellar leads and a rousing ensemble who instill the show with an infectious amount of joy. Hale's intimate in-the-round space provides a strong connection to the heightened sense of urgency and plight of the characters in the show....The Hale cast is led by Kade Bailey as Jack and Kaitlyn Russell as Katherine Plumber, the feisty female reporter who latches onto the newsies' mission as a way to hopefully make a name for herself in the publishing world. Both are exceptional in their roles, with beautiful and clear singing voices, creating strong and engaging characters you root to succeed...Director and choreographer Cambrian James ensures his cast create realistic, natural characters while also keeping the show moving along at a fast and fun pace. His choreography features a perfect blend of athleticism and ballet, with plenty of leaps, jumps and twists, and the large cast do well in delivering the steps with ease...makes for a rousing, engaging and highly entertaining good time. " -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)

"..has all the crispness and vitality typical of a Cambrian James production ~ his well-conceived and executed direction and choreography,... Elizabeth Spencer's musical direction, and a proficient and dynamic cast to boot.....Kade Bailey delivers an energetic and convincing performance as Jack Kelly, ...Kaitlyn Russell shines as Katherine...backed up by a powerhouse ensemble." Herbert Paine, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
