Based on the film of the same title, Newsies opened March 29, 2012, and ran 1,004 performances. It has a book by Harvey Fierstein, music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Jack Feldman.
Filmed in 2023, the one-night-only event featured Brian Stokes Mitchell, Audra McDonald, Peter Friedman, and more from the Ahrens and Flaherty musical's original cast.
Surrounded by period-accurate, 19th-century holiday decorations lit via candlelight, the 70-minute production is based on Dickens' own script of the classic.
