NEWSIES JR.
Music by Alan Menken Lyrics by Jack Feldman Book by Harvey Fierstein
Based on the Disney Film written by Bob Tzudiker and Noni White
The San Gabriel Valley Music Theatre's Production of Disney Newsies JR., is playing at the historic HOPE Christian Fellowship building in San Gabriel, made famous for its appearance as the wedding location in the film, Father of the Bride. Performances Thursday, February 27 through Sunday, March 2, 2025. Shows at 2pm and 7pm. The inspiring 60-minute musical, designed for middle school-aged performers, is based on the 1992 Disney film Newsies and the 2012 Broadway production of the same name. Our middle school & high school cast includes 44 students led by Anita Fischer and Julie Welch and our Broadway Locker division.
It’s time to carry the banner with Disney’s Newsies JR.! 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. Adapted especially for young performers, this musical features a Tony Award®-winning score by Alan Menken 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.” Newsies JR. is packed with nonstop thrills and a timeless message perfect for the whole family and every audience.
Our continued success depends on the sponsorship of charitable patrons to enable us to expand our high quality programming and keep music theatre alive in the San Gabriel Valley. SGVMT’s Broadway Locker program is funded, in part, by the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Foundation, Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts, and the Los Angeles County Arts Commission.
