Disney's Newsies Musical Heading to Broadway in 2012

Open the gates and seize the day! Following a successful run at New Jersey’s Paper Mill Playhouse, the Harvey Fierstein-adapted stage musical Newsies — based on the best period musical of all time about turn of the century paperboys fighting Big Business (that also starred Christian Bale) — will open on honest-to-goodness Broadway in March. This gives you bandwagon-jumpers plenty of time to catch up to the rest of us Newsies diehards who’ve known all along that one day, the family-friendly stylings of legions of dancing street urchins just trying to sell some ‘papes would catch on like gangbusters. The world will know …that we’re not crazy! (Right?) [Wall Street Journal]
