October 24, 2014
Newsies was a fun, and enjoyable experience for family's and kids of all ages. Kids that had come out to see the production ranged from ages 2 to adults. With the tail of city kids that deliver papers (papes) to make money for them or their family's made a stand when they decided to go on strike. Based on true events that had taken place in New York City known as “Newsboy Strike of 1899,” when Newspaper publishers increased the payment that the Newsies had to pay to get their papers to sell. By making a stand for their rights and to show they wanted to be treated as equals they are able to come to an agreement on terms between the Newsies and the Publishers. Along the story being told you get to know the characters and new friends that help along the way. With the conclusion of opening night and a standing ovation you could tell that everyone in the audience loved the show.

Newsies is a historical show with great meaning to teach your kids. Not to mention the great numbers of songs and dancing. This is a show you and your family will not want to miss. Newsies is not yet set to appear anywheres else in Connecticut but this weekend at the Palace Theater in Waterbury. There is still time to get your tickets.
