Recently, I went to see another musical- Newsies! This musical was originally a Disney movie, which was then adapted into the musical that it is today.
I absolutely loved the songs in this musical, especially the solos. All the actor’s voices were so beautiful and were perfect in conveying the story. I also really liked the set and how they were able to move only a few pieces/add in a few pieces around to convey completely different areas.
Newsies is about a group of newsboys who’s goal is to leave New York and find a new, more peaceful life for themselves. However, when the cost of buying newspapers to sell is raised, the Newsies decide to go on strike. As they gain support from other Newsies around town, Pulitzer, who runs the press, becomes enraged, banning the newspapers in town from publishing any news about the strike.
One of the things Newsies (the musical) is most well known for is its choreography and this didn’t disappoint! All the characters had such fun choreography that was a treat to watch and I really enjoyed it!
I loved this story as well as all of the characters! They all had so much spirit and such amazing personalities. I hope to watch the movie sometime as well and see how they compare!
