(Bloomberg News) This record breaking phenomenon combines explosive music, high-energy dance and an inspiring New York success story to create a TOP CRITICS' PICK (New York Magazine, Time Out New York, Entertainment Weekly) you don't want to miss. NEWSIES, on Broadway 8 times a week at the Nederlander Theatre.

Critics’ Reviews for Newsies

"Stop the presses! Disney has produced a winning, high-energy musical for family audiences that doesn't include a single flying witch, talking animal, or dancing teacup. The standouts remain ensemble numbers from the film, such as ‘Carrying the Banner’ and '’King of New York' — and they pop thanks to Christopher Gattelli's aggressively acrobatic choreography and a high-flying male chorus."

Thom Geier, Entertainment Weekly

"Jeff Calhoun's excellent production benefits from a three-story set design of scaffolds, complimented by cinematic projections, and Christopher Gattelli's spectacular choreography. The absolutely incredible young males in the cast do back-flips and audacious balletic spins, tap-dance on bar tables and shuffle with sheets of newspaper under their feet."

Matt Windman, AM NY

"Rousing songs by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman, high-energy dance numbers, an appealing cast and an uplifting story make this reconceived version one of Disney Theatrical's most entertaining new properties in years...Newsies adheres to a time-honored Disney tradition of inspirational storytelling in the best possible sense."

David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
