Saturday, March 10, 2018 Matinee at Chanhassen Dinner Theatre COST: $135.00 We’re thrilled to be going to the exciting musical that took Broadway by storm, Disney’s ‘Newsies’ ! With astounding choreography, un - forgettable songs and inspirational storytelling, ‘Newsies’ is a not-to-be-missed, high-energy show for all ages. Inspired by the real-life News - boys Strike of 1899 in New York City, Jack Kelly hawks the headlines day-in and day-out with countless other newsboys trying to save enough to make his dreams a reality. New York World publisher, Joseph Pulitzer, realizes he can max - imize profits by raising the price of the “papes” and does so without a word to the “Newsies.” Upon seeing Pulitzer’s greed, the newsboys protest and declare a strike against all the pub - lishing giants. Realizing it will take more than his friends to make a difference, Jack rallies all the “Newsies” in New York City. Through courage, determination, and friendship, the “Newsies” are ready to seize the day and take a stand. Don’t miss this ultimate crowd-pleaser, a Minnesota Regional Premiere, nominated for Deadline to sign up is January 19th! 8 Tony Awards - including Best Musical!
