Disney's Newsies musical to close on Broadway
Written by . Published: June 23 2014
The musical adaptation of Disney's cult 1990s film Newsies is set to close after two years on Broadway.
The production will shut its doors on 24 August (14) after 1,0005 performances at the Nederlander Theater.
Inspired by the real-life Newsboys Strike of 1899 in New York City,
Newsies was originally slated to run for 101 shows, but was
extended and went on to win two Tony Awards for Best Original Score
and Best Choreography.
Newsies has grossed more than $100 million in Broadway ticket
sales, compared to the $3 million the 1992 film earned at the box
office.
The show will go on the road for a North American tour beginning in
October (14).
