Limelight Performing Arts presents "Disney's Newsies: The Broadway Musical," opening Jan. 7 at the Mesa Arts Center. The show features a cast of nearly 50 performers ages 10-22 hailing from across the Valley. Based on the 1992 motion picture and the real-life Newsboy Strike of 1899, the musical tells the story of Jack Kelly, a rebellious newsboy who dreams of a life as an artist away from New York City. When titans of publishing raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack rallies a ragtag gang of teenage newsies to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for what’s right.
Newsies runs Jan. 7-16
The show is being performed at the Piper Repertory Theater at the Mesa Arts Center.
