description
The 1899 New York newsboys' strike is the subject of this full-scale musical set against a stylized backdrop depicting turn-of-the-century New York City. In a series of rousing song and dance routines, choreographer/director Kenny Ortega chronicles the "newsies'" struggle with publishing mogul Joseph Pulitzer, their battering at the hands of strikebreakers, and their eventual triumph over the powerful newspaper establishment.

    "The Newsies is a great movie about street kids who decide to go on STRIKE because the money is raised for the papers that they have to sell. Jack Kelly (Christian Bale) tells his adventurous tales and the newsies gladly follow him."
