"Stop the presses!" Summer Lyric Theatre at Tulane will conclude its 51st season with the regional theatre premiere of Disney’s smash hit NEWSIES. Based on the real-life Newsboy Strike of 1899, NEWSIES tells the story of Jack Kelly, a rebellious newsboy who dreams of a life away from the big city. After publishing giant Joseph Pulitzer raises newspaper prices at the newsboys’ expense, Kelly and his fellow newsies take action. With help from a beautiful female reporter, all of New York City soon recognizes the power of “the little man.” This high-energy, dance-infused show features a Tony Award-winning score by the prolific Alan Menken (Beauty & the Beast, Aladin, The Little Mermaid) and Jack Feldman, book by Harvey Fierstein (La Cage aux Folles, Kinky Boots) and is directed and choreographed by Diane Lala.
