AARP Theatre presents the 2017 live broadcast of Disney’s Newsies. Seize the spirit of rebellion in this rousing filmed performance captured live at Hollywood’s iconic Pantages Theatre. Set against the grit and energy of 1899 New York City, the story centers on a real-life strike by local paperboys who rise up after powerful publisher Joseph Pulitzer hikes newspaper prices. This stage adaptation brings the cult-favorite film to life with heart and unstoppable momentum, inviting audiences to cheer for the underdogs. This is a free online event, and AARP membership is not required. To watch the performance, please register online with a free AARP.org account.
