Newsies had a long path to success. The idea of moving it from film to stage took a lot of effort, but to the acclaim of fans everywhere, eventually it got done. From a workshop at the Papermill theatre, to a limited 8-week engagement on Broadway that grew into two years. It’s been Disney Theatrical’s surprise hit of the Great White Way.

But alas, all good things must come to an end. And now the Newsies are leaving the Nederlander theater for a nationwide tour. But before they left to seize the day again, they took one last curtain call.

Everyone at the production will tell you could not have done it without the support of their fans. So it’s great to see them turn around the lens and recognize that support with a video that includes fans from around the world (including the cast of The Lion King shown above). I love how they worked the lyrics of King of New York into this tribute too:
