Long Island’s largest year-round professional theatrical venue – The Argyle Theatre – is proudly holding a production of Disney’s Newsies, directed by Tommy Ranieri, choreographed by Trent Soyster, with musical direction by Jonathan Brenner. Performances began Thursday, January 29, 2026 and will run through March 22, 2026.
Set in turn-of-the-century New York City, Newsies is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of teenage “newsies.” When powerful publishing titans raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for what’s right.
Based on the 1992 Disney film and inspired by a true story, Newsies features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken (Little Shop of Horrors, Sister Act), lyrics by Jack Feldman, and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein (Kinky Boots). Featuring beloved songs such as “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day,” and “Santa Fe,” Newsies is packed with non-stop thrills, incredible choreography, and a powerful, uplifting message—making it the perfect show for audiences of all ages.
“This cast is stacked with powerhouse performers and fearless storytellers,” said Evan Pappas, Artistic Director of The Argyle Theatre. “Together, they embody the passion, grit, and sense of community that makes Newsies such an enduring and exhilarating theatrical experience.”
