Great musical! All Jack Kelley wants to do is go to Santa Fe. But newsies never get anywhere in life, and his minimum-wage job isn't helping. He's got no place to stay, and the last thing he needs is for the papes' prices to be raised, so he begins a strike to get the prices back down. With betrayals, broken promises, and a bit of romance, this movie is great for a bucket of buttery popcorn!
i liked this movie but i was kinda confused with the characters and what was happening for certain parts.
Go on the opportunity of a lifetime as stunning Jack Kelly leads the News' boys strike to raise awareness for the poor working boys of New York. As world-famous Pulitzer raised the charge price for the papers, the newsies complained because they had no rights over these changes. Their leader, Jack, organizes them to create a Newsies strike and gets all the local areas such as Harlem, Queens, and Brooklyn together to fight against the rights of the innocent children.- Matthewover 8 yearsThis movie is like, the best! It's like a musical. It has singing, dancing, and some crazy boys known as the newsies. They go on strike because they got less money in there job. One guy go es to jail and Jack, there leader, gets in bunch of trouble. Now, that's all I am going to tell you!
