*The only official way to buy your tickets to CCPA’s production of Disney’s ‘Newsies’ is through the McPherson box office, in-person or online at rmts.bc.ca. Beware of third-party ticket sellers!
A Tony-award winning score to sweep you up in the dramatic fight for what’s fair – based on the strike of 1899 by the child labourers of New York, led by those selling the papers for the rich and powerful.
Scrappy, snappy, and full of rousing calls to action – this musical sensation will have you wanting to “stare down the odds and seize the day”.
“Boisterous and balletic”
– Alex Wood, WhatsOnStage
