Disney’s Newsies
They delivered the papers, until they made the headlines. The SFArtsED Players launch their 22nd season with Disney’s Newsies, the Tony Award-winning musical based on the beloved 1992 movie. Audiences and critics alike are calling it “a musical worth singing about!” (The New York Times). Filled with one heart-pounding number after another, it’s a high-energy explosion of song and dance. Now is the time to seize the day with Newsies, the captivating story, based on true events, of a band of child laborers who become unlikely heroes when they stand up to the most powerful men in New York. It’s a rousing tale about fighting for what’s right and staying true to who you are.
