After newspaper magnate Joseph Pulitzer hikes up the prices for his papers charged to the newsies, Jack Kelly rallies his fellow newsies in an attempt to protest the change, falling in love with young reporter Katherine along the way.

These young newsies from across the city come together and rise up against the exploitation of wealthy publishing tycoons and fight for justice using the only power they have – solidarity.

The musical is an adaptation of the 1992 film and has a book by Harvey Fierstein with music by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman, who penned songs for the original film.
