Newsies Reviews
Broadway World- Highly Recommended
"...The resulting stage adaptation of NEWSIES - The Musical---which transferred to Broadway in 2012---was a huge, instant hit, even earning a couple of Tony Awards for their efforts. Not only did my love of the property get elevated, I became an even bigger Fansie all over again."
Stage Scene LA- Highly Recommended
"...Few musicals offer the excitement, romance, suspense, and heart of Disney's Newsies, and equally few are the theaters that can stage it as it should be staged, with star-quality leads and triple-threat newsboys to match Broadway's best. La Mirada Theatre For The Performing Arts and McCoy Rigby Entertainment prove themselves more than up to Newsies multiple challenges, bringing their 2017-2018 season to one rip-roaring, crowd-pleasing, standing ovation-earning finish."
Haines His Way- Recommended
"...Hinds' choreography is lively, energetic and well executed by the large chorus of male dancers. But their jumping, spinning, cartwheels etc. more often resemble a gym workout rather than a dance break. The well-buffed bodies, with "guns" a blazing, are well displayed in the tight fitting and spic and span costumes by Maine State Music Theatre Costume Rentals. I am sure Annie, Oliver and even little Cosette would be extremely jealous because these are the cleanest and best fed Broadway orphans ever."
Bucking Trends- Highly Recommended
"...STOP THE PRESSES! "Newsies" is making News in La Mirada California! As the final musical of their 2017-2018 Season "The La Mirada Theatre For The Performing Arts" in association with McCoy-Rigby Entertainment invite audiences to "Seize The Day" as they present this fine show about life "Carrying The Banner" (-the last word in newspapers circa the turn of the last century!)"
