Disney’s 1992 live action musical, “Newsies” was a bomb at the box office, but a 2012 stage adaptation proved to be a hit. The show, based on actual events, follows a gang of New York boys selling newspapers on the street in 1899 to get by. When newspaper publisher Joseph Pulitzer raises the price of papers for the Newsies to sell, they try to unionize.
Stage West produces the show at 7:30 p.m. Monday through June 26 and June 29 through July 2. at The Lights in West Fargo. Tickets range from $15 to $28.
