I heard a rumor from someone who might actually know what he's talking about that the rights to produce Newsies will come out sometime in 2005 or 2006. Does anyone know anything about this, or anything about a musical version at all? I hope this is true, I love Newsies!

Yes, it is me and 30 of my BEST gay boyfriends!
We all got Newsboy caps @ H&M this afternoon, and I will be playing Metta the Swedish Meadowlark, the performance begins @ 8pm and we ask that you make a small donation to each of our college funds!

Sorry to be a nickpick, but it's Medda... *ducks under newsie hat*

OH MY GAH I MUST SEE. I'VE BEEN A PRODUCTION OF NEWSIES, BUT IT'S SO NOT THE SAME.


I get lost, unless, of course, I'm getting found.

Oh gawd..another "well placed" source for information? Just like our friend who had the RENT movie all cast? (yeah...and what happened to him??)

I think if it were happening, we would know. There is a kids theater version.

I heard 3 years ago that a 2005 production was starting to come together, but I lost touch with that person so I don't know what's new. I love it, but I really don't think it'd last. Oh well. Guys, start workin' on da accents.

i would SOOOO love that to be true. I have a little (or rather, huge) obsession on Newsies.
...but most likely, seeing as you don't really have a source, it ain't true.

You could always print the script offline and get the Disney song book; put two and two togther (or really one and one) and you have a complete show! Atleast, thats what a company did here in my hometown. Come to think of it, isn't that illegal?

Well I said I think it's true... the person to whom I was talking is trying to see if he can buy the rights to produce the show next fall. He definitely was sure they're coming out. I don't know how. But he's a director and has been performing/directing/choreographing for 20+ years, so is kind of up on this stuff.

First, what they need to do is come out with a SPECIAL EDITION dvd with the making of it and bloopers, deleted scenes, etc. Then we will talk about the show. Oh yeah, I better get the part of the "Cowboy" re: Newsies, Finally?

Yeah, I was in an illegal production, with the online script and everything. I was Sarah re: Newsies, Finally? Anywho, Disney keeps a pretty tight hold on their rights. So good luck.

I've always thought that this would be a great Broadway musical.

Let's examine this...

your "source" is waiting to get "rights" to do a musical that Disney created?

ahhh..yeah...why would they want to do it themselves?
