Content Advisory: Disney’s Newsies is a family-friendly musical featuring mild language and moments of staged fighting and conflict. An uplifting story of friendship, courage, and standing up for what’s right!

Royal City Musical Theatre is thrilled to present Disney’s Newsies The Broadway Musical, April 9–25, 2027, at the Massey Theatre in New Westminster!

Inspired by the hit Disney film and based on the true story of the 1899 Newsboys’ Strike in New York City, Newsies is an exhilarating musical about courage, community, and the power of standing together. When powerful newspaper publishers raise prices at the expense of the young newsboys who sell their papers, charismatic newsboy Jack Kelly rallies his fellow workers to fight back and demand a fair deal. What begins as a struggle for survival becomes a movement that proves even the smallest voices can make a big difference.

Featuring a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman, with a book by Harvey Fierstein, Newsies brings the stage to life with show-stopping choreography, larger-than-life characters, and unforgettable songs, including “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day,” and “Santa Fe.” Packed with heart, humour, and high-energy musical theatre, this inspiring story is a celebration of resilience, friendship, and the courage to stand up for what’s right.

In the spirit of 1899, tickets start at just $18.99 for the first two rows! Royal City Musical Theatre uses demand-based pricing, so ticket prices may increase as performances fill up. Get your tickets early for the best selection and prices, and join us at the Massey Theatre for an unforgettable theatrical experience.

Make your Newsies experience even more memorable with special add-ons, including our pre-show Tea & Talk, backstage tours with a behind-the-scenes look at the production, and photo opportunities inspired by the world of the newsies. There’s more than one way to get in on the action!

It’s time to carry the banner!
