The Seabury Hall Performing Arts Department will perform Disney’s “Newsies Jr.,” a musical packed with energy, heart and an inspiring story of standing up for what’s right.

Based on the Disney film written by Bob Tzudiker and Noni White, the Seabury Hall creative team of Julia Golding, Marsha Kelly, André Morissette and Molly Schad lead the cast of 70 middle schoolers for three performances at the school’s ʻAʻaliʻikūhonua Creative Arts Center at 7 p.m. Jan. 17 and at 3 and 7 p.m. Jan. 18.

Tickets are $15 for adults, $ 12 for seniors, and $7 for students at SeaburyHall.org/arts.

The musical is set in turn-of-the-century New York City and tells the story of Jack Kelly and his band of young newsies who dream of a better life.

When publishing giants raise newspaper prices at the expense of the newsies, Jack rallies the group to strike for justice. With friendship, courage, and determination, the newsies prove that even the youngest voices can change the world.

Featuring unforgettable songs like “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day” and “King of New York,” this family-friendly show will leave you inspired and cheering for more.
