Presented By: Rockit Productions

Synopsis: New York City, 1899. Jack Kelly and his ragtag team make a meager living selling newspapers on the city streets. But when the prices of “papes” are hiked and the newsies are hung out to dry, there is nothing left to do but “open the gates and seize the day!”

Led by charismatic Jack and independent young newspaper reporter Katherine Plummer, the Newsies form a union and organise a strike against the greedy publisher of the New York World. Can a group of idealistic newsboys win against a foe as powerful as acclaimed publisher Joseph Pulitzer?
