We are excited to announce that we will be bringing another favorite musical to the WHS Theater for our Winter production! Newsies, The Musical is adapted from the 1992 Disney live-action musical film, which was itself inspired by the true-to-life 1899 Newsboys Strike in New York City. Set at the turn of the 20th century, the story follows Jack Kelly, a charismatic leader of a ragged group of teenage newspaper sellers ("newsies"). When publishing titans like Joseph Pulitzer raise the wholesale price of newspapers at the newsboys' expense, Jack and his peers organize a citywide union and strike against corporate greed.

Tickets go on sale January 4, 2027 online or at the WHS Cashier's office.
