Like Hamilton, Newsies narrates the somewhat-true story of a bunch of rebels in New York with a charismatic but flawed leader. This time, though, that story is of a child labour strike in 1899, where a group of newsboys led a citywide strike for better working conditions. Disney's Tony-winning stage adaptation stars Jeremy Jordan as Jack Kelly, the prickly but good-hearted leader of a bunch of makeshift rebels. Come for the top-notch dance numbers, stay for the labour politics!
