Extra Extra! It's Your City highlights production of 'Newsies' opening Friday in Carson City
In this edition of It's Your City, host Cortney Bloomer sits down with Carol Scott of Wild Horse Children's Theater as it prepares to launch production of the Tony Award winning Broadway hit "Newsies" in the Bob Boldrick Theater at the Carson City Community Center.
The show begins Friday, June 28 and run Saturday and Sunday, June 29-30 and July 5, 6, and 7. See the video interview here or below.
Based on the true 1899 story of a scrappy group of newsboys in New York City who become unlikely heroes when they rally forces to fight an unscrupulous newspaper tycoon, this inspirational defy-all-odds musical leaps onto the stage with soul stirring music, amazing heart, and stunning, energetic choreography.
Based on the Disney film, Newsies brings together an impressive cast of adults and youth who will win your hearts with their high-flying dance numbers and rousing vocal score. Newsies tells how a band of underdogs took on the most powerful names in New York in a fight for what's right.
The poor and orphaned teenagers, selling newspapers for a penny a paper, are pushed to the limit when newspaper moguls Hearst and Pulitzer try to take away more of their meager profits. Jack Kelly becomes the leader who rallies the newsies from across the city to take a stand and strike against the most powerful publishers in the country. Their cause becomes even bigger than any of the newsies imagined when they realize they’re fighting for all the children working in unfair and unsafe conditions across the nation.
