The show is an extravaganza of song and dance with a stellar cast of over 50 talented individuals from northwest Ohio. It is being presented by Fountain City Festival in collaboration with Art of Movement Dance Studio.
“Newsies” is an exciting show inspired by the real-life Newsboys Strike of 1899 in New York City, it’s a tale of how a rag-tag group of newsboys—called “Newsies”—take on the rich and powerful newspaper publishers who have changed to rules to make it harder for the boys to make a buck.
With the help of a young female reporter, the Newsies’s strike becomes big news for all of New York City. Rousing songs and high-energy choreography make this a show for all ages.
