“I chose this costume because @Newsies was my first show. What I like about @BwayCon is that all theatre-lovers are able to come to learn more about their careers.” 8-year-old Xander carried the banner proudly at #BwayCon2018. #NewsiesForever #BwayConSpotlight

A new song was added to the 2017 film for Crutchie called “Letters from the Refuge,” which gave the character “such an arch and a real stake for Jack to continue with the strike knowing there’s human suffering on the other side of the wall,” @KeenanBlogger #NewsiesAtBwaycon18

[AndTheWorldWillKnow @WorldWillKnow27]

The film was scheduled for a three-day run in February 2017, with a fourth day added in March and a release of the digital download in May. #NewsiesAtBwaycon18

YOU DID THIS! You, the fans of Newsies: those of you who practice your “Newsie jump” in your kitchen, who wear your newsboy caps with pride, took a movie that failed and turned it into a successful Broadway production! #NewsiesAtBwaycon18

“There was a movie that showed young guys being masculine and being cool, but also doing the things that I loved to do!” – Jeremy Jordan #NewsiesAtBwaycon18

[AndTheWorldWillKnow @WorldWillKnow27]

Needless to say, the need and desire for the Newsies to branch out into the entertainment world was clear. . . Young people clamored for the opportunity to be a part of this world that meant so much to them! #NewsiesAtBwaycon18
