Synopsis
Newsies follows a group of newsboys in 1899 New York City, who strike against powerful newspaper owners, Pulitzer and Hearst, after prices for newspapers are unfairly raised. The leader, Jack Kelly, inspires his fellow “newsies” to stand up for their rights and fight back. Through unity, determination, and song, they prove that even the smallest voices can make a big difference.
