BYTESized Productions is excited to bring to the stage one of the top three most produced musicals for young people globally – especially produced for young and old audiences alike.

Disney’s Newsies JR. is packed with non-stop thrills and a timeless message perfect for the whole family and every audience. The inspiring 60-minute musical features performers aged between 9 and 18 and is based on real world events brought to  life in the 1992 Disney film Newsies and the 2012 Broadway production of the same name.

You’ll be doing flips for the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of young newsies in Manhattan. When titans of publishing raise distribution prices at the newsies’ expense, Jack rallies young workers from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for what’s right! Adapted especially for young performers, this musical features a Tony Award®-winning score by Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid) and Jack Feldman and a book by Tony Award®-winner Harvey Fierstein, and includes rousing songs like “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day,” and “King of New York.”
