Extra! Extra! Read All About It: "NEWSIES" to be GPS | McCallie Spring Musical

The Coordinate GPS | McCallie Theater Department is excited to announce NEWSIES as the 2025 spring musical. 

Based on the 1992 Disney movie of the same name, the NEWSIES musical brings to life the true story of the 1899 New York City newsboys' strike. The show, with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Jack Feldman, follows a group of young newsboys who, led by the charismatic Jack Kelly, fight for fair treatment and better working conditions, sparking a larger movement for justice. The musical is known for its energetic dance numbers, catchy songs, and its inspiring message about standing up for one's rights. 

 

“I’m thrilled to announce our spring musical will be NEWSIES," shared director Chelsea Padro. "This high energy production will showcase the incredible talent of upper school students from GPS and McCallie. It’s going to be a dynamic performance full of excitement. I can’t wait to see the energy and passion the students will bring to the stage!”

 

With roles for all levels of experience both on and off the stage, interested upper school students from McCallie and GPS are encouraged to attend auditions January 13-16, 2025.

The show will run April 11–13, 2025—two evening performances and a final matinee.

 

Ticket information will be available this spring.
