BUS TRIPS
Chanhassen Dinner Theatre - Newsies!
Chanhassen Dinner Theatres is thrilled to bring its audiences the exciting musical that took Broadway by storm -- Disney’s Newsies! With astounding choreography, unforgettable songs, and inspirational storytelling, Newsies is a not-to-be-missed, high-energy show for all ages.
Inspired by the real-life Newsboys Strike of 1899 in New York City, Jack Kelly hawks the headlines day-in and day-out with countless other newsboys trying to save enough to make his dreams a reality. New York World publisher, Joseph Pulitzer, realizes he can maximize profits by raising the price of the “papes” and does so without a word to the “Newsies.” Upon seeing Pulitzer’s greed, the newsboys protest and declare a strike against all the publishing giants. Realizing it will take more than his friends to make a difference, Jack rallies all the “Newsies” in New York City. Through courage, determination, and friendship the “Newsies” are ready to seize the day and take a stand.
