Proserpine State High School are proud to present their energetic school production of Disney’s Newsies – The Broadway Musical.
More than 100 students and staff will bring the entertaining musical to life on their Performing Arts Centre stage form 8th-10th May, with many months of hard work going in to perfecting lines, dance routines and musical scores.
Based on the real-life Newsboy Strike of 1899, this Disney musical tells the story of Jack Kelly, a rebellious newsboy who dreams of a life as an artist away from the big city.
After publishing giant Joseph Pulitzer raises newspaper prices at the newsboys' expense, Kelly and his newsies take action.
With help from the beautiful female reporter Katherine Plumber, all of New York City soon recognises the power of "the little man".
Year 11 student Wiremu Tairaki plays character Joseph Pulitzer and described this year’s production as “grand”. He said he has loved everything about the show so far including the sets and dance routines.
“It feels good to be back performing in one of our school musicals,” he said.
“Everyone is appreciative of the effort from our teachers and the staff involved in making it successful.”
Musical Director Amelia Hinschen said a highlight from rehearsals for the musical was the broad range of talent showcased by the students.
She said that everyone is extremely talented and are working together to try and create something that will work best for the whole cast.
Don’t miss the opportunity to support Proserpine State High School’s students and enjoy an unforgettable theatrical experience for the whole family.
