This is a unique opportunity for young performers to collaborate, develop their performance skills in a fast-paced rehearsal environment, and spend the school holidays fully immersed in creativity alongside like-minded peers.

About Newsies JR
Set in New York City in 1899, Newsies JR. follows a spirited group of young newspaper sellers who unite against publisher Joseph Pulitzer and fight for a better future. Inspired by the real-life Newsboys Strike, the show brings its story of courage, solidarity and determination to life through favourite numbers including 'Seize the Day', 'King of New York' and 'Santa Fe'.
After making its Broadway debut in 2012, the musical became a hit, playing more than 1,000 performances and winning two Tony Awards.
Featuring music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Jack Feldman and a book by Harvey Fierstein, the production gives young performers the opportunity to develop their dance, singing and acting skills while working as part of a full-scale theatrical production.
