Bob and I went to see it this afternoon. It was so fun and full of energy. In particular the dance choreographer deserves a gold medal. The whole group of kids performed together perfectly in time and with crisp body motions and uncommon energy. It was just a pleasure to see. I highly recommend going.

OMG- don’t miss this amazing local theatrical performance! Once again, the Lincoln Middle School hits it out of the park. The acting, singing, set design and new theater (comfy seats!) are fantastic!! You are in for a treat!!! Newsies is SO much fun!
See the Lincoln School perform Newsies, Jr., this Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday!
Inspired by the true story of newsboys in turn-of-the-century New York City, Newsies Jr. is the tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of teenage “newsies,” the young people who sold afternoon editions of newspapers directly to readers on city streets. When publishing executives raise distribution prices at the newsies’ expense, Jack rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for what's right.
Newsies Jr. is loosely based on the real-life Newsboy Strike of 1899, when newsboy Kid Blink led a band of orphan and runaway newsies on a two-week-long action against Joseph Pulitzer, William Randolph Hearst, and other powerful New York newspaper publishers.
Auditions for the show started in November and since then more than one-third of all middle school students have been involved in either the cast or crew to ensure a show that dazzles.
Travel back in time and "watch what happens" when our dedicated and talented middle schoolers perform a timeless story full of spirit and heart in the Lincoln School's production of Disney's Newsies Jr.
