Hilton High School will stage a production of Disney’s Newsies April 19 through 21 at the Hilton High School Auditorium, 400 East Avenue, Hilton. Performances are Friday at 7 p.m., Saturday at 1 and 7 p.m., and Sunday at 1 p.m.
Set in turn-of-the-century New York City, Newsies is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of teenaged “newsies.” When titans of publishing raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack rallies newsies from across the city to strike for fair wages and better working conditions. Newsies is a heartwarming and inspirational tale of courage and solidarity that resonates with audiences of all ages.
Based on the 1992 motion picture and inspired by a true story, Newsies features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken (Little Shop of Horrors, Sister Act) and Jack Feldman and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein (Kinky Boots). Featuring the now classic songs “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day,” and “Santa Fe,” Newsies is packed with non-stop thrills and a timeless message, perfect for the whole family and every audience.
Disney’s Newsies is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). Tickets are $13 and may be purchased exclusively online at http://Showtix4u.com (search “Hilton” or scan the QR code). All ticket sales are final.
