Re: Newsies
The live filmed performance of Newsies will be released in the US on Feb. 16, 18 and 22. This appears to be limited screening through Fandango, similar to the way BETM Live was screened.

Re: Newsies
Here is the promo trailer for the live film of Newsies. It's interesting they say "direct from the Broadway stage", when it was filmed while on tour (but with most of the Broadway leads returning to the cast). There's a great shot of Ben with his cigar at the 19 second mark, and one of his fantastic leaps at 6 seconds.

Re: Newsies
This video shows the cast as they began rehearsals for the special live filming, combining casts from Broadway and the tour. They have added extra Newsies to some of the big numbers.

Re: Newsies
Great to hear there was a BETM connection!
Schumacher says he initially resisted the idea of filming Newsies onstage, until he saw the 2014 filmed West End production of Billy Elliot The Musical, which convinced him there was a way to blend live theatre and film.

Re: Newsies
I thought the movie was awesome! For those who missed it, or want to see it again, they have added another screening on March 4th.
