Disney’s Newsies

Jack Kelly and his fellow “newsies,” many of whom are orphaned or homeless, make a meager living on the 1899 New York City streets selling newspapers. When the prices of newspapers are hiked and the newsies are hung out to dry, Jack and young newspaper reporter Katherine Plummer set out to form a union and organize a strike against the greedy New York World Publisher, Joseph Pulitzer. With songs including “Seize the Day” and “Santa Fe,” Newsies is a classic with the power to inspire.
