3 roles
Tenor (C2-A4) – playable age 15. A dedicated newsie with a bum leg that’s painful, but helps sell more papes. Though he walks with the assistance of a crutch, Crutchie doesn’t let it define him; when in a jam, Jack Kelly’s best friend relies on a goofy, sweet sense of humor and optimistic resilience. Crutchie is the heart of the resistance.
Tenor (D2-A4). Les’s straight-laced, bright big brother starts newspapers to help his family earn a living, but becomes swept up in the fervor of the strike. A leader in his own right who is learning to use his voice to uplift others, Davey is the brains of the resistance.
ALBERT, BUTTONS, ELMER, FINCH, HENRY, IKE, JO JO, MIKE, MUSH, RACE, ROMEO, SPECS, SPLASHER, and TOMMY BOY are some of the hard-working kids of New York City who go on strike for a livable wage. Must attend both the general dance and tap auditions to be named a Newsie. All have solos and lines. Show us your personality and tricks (turns, jumps, cartwheels, etc.)! Select female Newsies will double as Bowery Beauties.
