‘Disney’s Newsies,’ Slow Burn Theatre Co.
“Disney’s Newsies,” a 1999 live action film documenting the Newsboy Strike of 1899, got the Broadway treatment just over a decade ago, with a book by Harvey Fierstein, score by Alan Menken and lyrics by Jack Feldman. Slow Burn Theatre Co. at the Broward Center, the regional company to earn the trust of Disney for regional premieres, presents a high-flying, high energy production with stunning choreography by Artistic Director Patrick Fitzwater. The young men in the cast (there’s really only one female role) quickly captivate the audience, playing American ragamuffins who scrape together a living selling competing newspapers on the streets of New York. Don’t miss this show! Tickets start at $49 at BrowardCenter.org.
