Disney’s Newsies – CMT Rising Stars

Set in turn-of-the century New York City, Newsies is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of teenaged “newsies”. When titans of publishing raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for what’s right! Based on the 1992 motion picture and inspired by a true story, Newsies features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken (Little Shop of Horrors, Sister Act) and Jack Feldman and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein (Kinky Boots). Featuring the now-classic songs “Carrying the Banner”, “Seize the Day” and “Santa Fe”, Newsies is packed with non-stop thrills and a timeless message, perfect for every audience.   This CMT Rising Stars production features a cast of talented performers, ages 10-14.   Performances: Fri., July 10, 2026 @ 7pm Sat., July 11, 2026 @ 2pm, 7pm Sun., July 12, 2026 @ 1pm, 6pm Weds., July 15, 2026 @ 7pm Thurs., July 16, 2026 @ 7pm Fri., July 17, 2026 @ 7pm Sat., July 18, 2026 @ 2pm, 7pm Sun., July 19, 2026 @ 1pm     > Montgomery Theater Events Calendar > Visitor FAQs     Tickets: https://www.cmtsj.org/newsies/.
