Newsies

Aroview: Disney musical based loosely on the 1899 New York City Newsboys' strike, in which the young newspaper hawkers of the city rose up to demand fair compensation for their work.

A youthful Christian Bale stars as the spirited hero Jack "Cowboy" Kelly, who confronts publisher Joseph Pulitzer and ambushes the distribution centre of his paper "New York World". Directed and choreographed by Kenny Ortega, who worked on everything from PRETTY IN PINK to HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL.
