Jack Kelly and his ragtag team of newsboys make a meager living selling newspapers on the city streets of New York City. But when the prices of “papes” are hiked and the newsies are hung out to dry, there is nothing left to do but “open the gates and seize the day!” Led by charismatic Jack and independent, young newspaper reporter Katherine Plumber, the newsies form a union and organize a strike against the greedy publisher of the New York World. Can a group of idealistic newsboys win against a foe as powerful as acclaimed publisher Joseph Pulitzer? Amazing!!! I love musicals and musical theater!
Newsies is amazing, but that's just my opinion. If you love musicals then you will undoubtedly love it, but if that's not your thing you might not like it as much. The acting is phenomenal and the choreography is just *chef's kiss* amazing. The lyrics are carefully and cleverly written, so I would recommend watching it with subtitles. Overall I would recommend it to ages 7 and up (there is some mild swearing and a few fight scenes, but it's all necessary to the story), but my 6 year old sister watched it and loved it as much as I did.
Newsies was amazing! I liked the part where Race said, " I'm famous! " Race did look kinda handsome. The movie was spectacular! I can't wait to see if they have a second Newsies movie.
athenaposeidon8over 4 yearsThis musical is great! I am doing this musical at my school, and now I love, like, all of the songs!!!!
I love this movie so much!It has incredible talent and great music and an amazing cast.I recommend watching the music with full volume because it is so great and the choreography is so good. The only thing I don't like about it is the annoying little boy that sells papers with the older guys. Lol.- Also I love Crutchy and Jack Kelly

- AmberPuppy🍁 almost 7 yearsThis is such a good musical!!!!! it is about poor boys who carry the newspapers to people. Once there is a raise with the price on the "papes", they demanded a STRIKE! This is basically the French Revolution, New York style!! Totally recommend it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "The world is your erster. you know the fancy clam with the pearl inside?!"
