2 hr 30 min

Embark on a journey with Jack, an affable newsboy who leads his group of hardy young 'newsies' in their pursuit to make better lives for themselves and escape the streets. With Newsies tickets, you can now witness the heartwarming story that has captured the hearts of audiences around the world.

Newspaper hawkers, or "newsies," belong to a long-gone era, however, the issues addressed in this US musical - set during their strike of 1899 - are still current affairs.

In this musical, which is finally making its way to the UK after ten years of a successful Broadway run, we meet Joseph Pulitzer (publisher of the New York World) maliciously revelling in his "brilliant" scheme to maximize profits by raising newsies’ paper prices. This plan slightly misrepresents history as it was actually due to an unexpected rise in circulation from the Spanish-American War that enabled sellers and publishers alike. The impact of these price increases on newsie earnings is poignantly addressed. Book your Newsie tickets now to grab the best seats in the house.

Bety dynamic show. The dynamics of the show and the structuring of the generous epic thread in just two and a half hours were impressive

This production of Newsies is one of the top 3 shows I've ever seen. The theater/staging was completely immersive and original. The talent was A+++++ and delivered every second. We loved this show already but this one raised the bar!

I really like the musical! The music and the story were really good, but what was especially amazing was the choreography! It was really something different from other musicals I have seen and it was really good. Also the people at the bar and the merchandise stand were very friendly :)

I would put Newsies up there as one of the best shows that I have seen! Lovely theatre with the audience sitting on three sides, very clever stage use and phenominal dancing.
