BRAVO Presents Newsies Jr.

BRAVO is thrilled to present NEWSIES, JR. Inspired by the Newsboys Strike of 1899 in New York City, Newsies revolves around Jack Kelly (Kirin Pauline), a newspaper delivery boy ? a.k.a. ?newsie? ? who is living among a group of other young newsies, most of them homeless or orphaned. Jack dreams of being an artist and escaping to Santa Fe. Among his clan are disabled friend Crutchie (double cast Oliver Schnizlein and Jazz Olympio) and Davey (double cast Milla Liss and Hogan Porter) and Davey?s young brother Les (double cast Ella Stanis and Max Newsome), who have joined the group after their father becomes unable to work. When publisher Joseph Pulitzer (double cast Katherine Kiker and Mia Kamps) decides to raise the cost of the newspapers to the boys by a dime, it causes the gang to protest and eventually strike.
