Newsies Addendum: Plot Summary
di Tracy and Reagan Middlebrook
For those who are unfamiliar, here's a quick recap to give you context before diving into episode 1
A birthday gift to see the touring company of the Newsies Broadway show inspired our whole podcast. We have a lot to say, about what they got right, what they got wrong, and why. Includes detailed discussions of plot points of Newsies the 1992 musical and of the touring production as it existed in 2016.
