Extra! Extra! Over 30 Newsies Stop the Presses at 54 Below
Stop the Presses, a concert event prior to Newsies' final performance at Broadway's Nederlander Theatre — featuring over 30 cast members from the Disney hit — was held Aug. 14 at 54 Below. Read the Playbill.com story.
Here's how 54 Below billed the evening: "Everyone's favorite newsboys (and girls) from the cast of that hit Broadway show on 41st Street gather at 54 Below to show a side of themselves you may not have seen yet. Get ready for songs, stories, dances, comedy gold and possibly even some audience participation." Proceeds from the concerts go towards supporting the efforts of Team Newsies in the Covenant House Sleep Out: Broadway Edition. For more information, click here.
Shoshana Feinstein produces.
Newsies, which took home 2012 Tony Awards for Best Choreography (Christopher Gattelli) and Best Original Score (Alan Menken and Jack Feldman), will close after over a thousand performances prior to the launch of the national tour this October.
The production will include Bernstein’s incidental music for Lillian Hellman’s adaptation of The Lark, and Menotti’s The Unicorn, The Gorgon, and The Manticore.
Based on the novel and film by Frank Cottrell Boyce, the new musical will reunite Guettel with Tony-winning Light in the Piazza director Bartlett Sher.
