As it has from the start, the evolution ofNewsies continues to surprise.   Following a critically-hailed pilot production at Paper Mill Playhouse last fall, the show unexpectedly came to Broadway for a 12 week run.  Opening with ticket sales from all 50 states, the limited run proved so successful that it was extended another 10 weeks, through August 19th. Another round of critical praise following its Broadway opening and 23 major theatrical nominations – including eight Tony Award nods – followed.

“Ever since the Paper Mill Playhouse run ended six months ago, the audience has re-written the playbook for Newsies,” said Thomas Schumacher, Producer, Disney Theatrical Productions.  “We continue to be astonished by a passion for this show that is as heartfelt as it is widespread and find ourselves, once again, in the wonderful position of altering our plans to respond to palpable demand.”

The current cast is scheduled to stay with the production.
