Re: Newsies
Actually, it is at The Palace in Waterbury, about a one hour drive west of The Bushnell in Hartford, on I-84.ERinVA wrote:The show is headed to Hartford, and here's an article from CTNOW in advance of its arrival:

Re: Newsies
Disney has released new publicity photos from the Newsies tour, including these which Glenn Cook has posted on his Facebook.

Re: Newsies
On Sunday, December 14, ABC will air Backstage with Disney on Broadway: Celebrating 20 Years, a one-hour special about the making of their eight Broadway musicals. "Newsies" is one of the musicals featured, and look whose photo is included in the ad.

Re: Newsies
Oh thanks for that! I'll be sure to DVR it! I dare say I love Newsies about as much as I love Billy! It's definitely become one of my favourite shows, and the music is really very good.
Re: Newsies
I will be forced to record the broadcast myself...
Given I have a front row seat for "Newsies" at the Oriental Theater in Chicago.
It's a sell out...tickets were not cheap...but so much look forward to the show and watching Ben do his thing. What a treat!

Re: Newsies
Here's a story about the diehard fans, mostly teenage girls, who line up in freezing temperatures to meet cast members of "Newsies". Ben Cook appears in a couple of these photos. Those of us who saw BETM in Chicago back in 2010 will recognize this alley.

Re: Newsies
Saw "Newsies" in Chicago tonight (and no, I didn't camp out over-night in the alley behind the theater !) It was fun being back at the Oriental Theater again for the first time since I saw "Billy Elliot" there in late 2014 (has it really been 4 years since the show ended in Chicago ?!) As always, the show was very enjoyable. It was interesting comparing the tour cast to the one I had seen several times on Broadway. Needless to say, it was a real crowd-pleaser.
As mentioned in the article, there was a very big crowd gathered in the alley behind the theater after the show. Each newsie was treated like a rock star when they came out the stage door, as there were high-pitched shrieks for each of them. Pretty dedicated crowd to brave the cold (about 32 degrees) and stand back there in a long line awaiting autographs and pictures. To their credit, the cast greeted everyone who was in line to see them. I had a chance to offer a quick hello and congratuations to Ben, who seems to really be enjoying himself. It's fun to see his singing, dancing, and acting skills on display once again for a whole new audience.

Re: Newsies
Newsies has arrived in Orlando for a brief, one week run at the beautiful, new Dr Phillip's Center (2731 seats). According the the theater's website, every show is sold out - not surprising, with Orlando's tourist numbers and the Disney connections:
