'Newsies' opens March 13 Pike Central High School will per- form Newsies as the Spring Musical this year. They delivered the papers, until they made the headlines. Newsies, the smash-hit, crowd-pleasing musi- cal from Disney, is set for the week- end of March 13-15. A two-time Tony Award®-winning show, Newsies has audiences and critics alike calling it "a musical worth singing about! " (The New York Times). "Filled with one heart-pounding number after anoth- er, it's a high-energy explosion of song and dance you won't want to miss," said director Melissa Traylor. It is based on true events, Newsies tells the captivating story of a band of underdogs who become unlikely he- roes when they stand up to the most powerful men in New York. It's a rous- ing tale about fighting for what's right, and staying true to who you are. Newsies was brought to the stage by an award-winning creative team. It fea- tures a score by Alan Menken (Beau- ty and the Beast) and Jack Feldman (The Lion King II: Simba's Pride) and a book by Harvey Fierstein (La Cage aux Folles). It will be performed at 7 p.m. on March 13, 14 and 15 in the Vance Hays Auditorium at Pike Central High School.
