Set in turn-of-the-century New York City, “Newsies” – The Broadway Musical follows a ragtag band of teenage newspaper sellers, the “newsies” led by charismatic orphan Jack Kelly.

When powerful newspaper publisher Joseph Pulitzer raises the price they must pay for their papers, Jack rallies the kids to strike with the hlep of plucky young reporter Katherine Plumber, demanding fair treatment and respect.

As they organize a citywide strike, they fight not only for better wages but also for dignity, solidarity, and hope in a harsh world.

Along the way there’s friendship, courage, music, and the belief that united, even scrappy kids can stand up to power and “seize the day”.

Songs include: “Carrying the Banner”, “Seize the Day”, “The World Will Know”, “Santa Fe”, “The King of New York” and more!

Hi! We’re Arbour Season.

We are an indie folk band who travel across North America performing house concerts, music venues and festivals.

We took an old retired school bus and we turned it into our tour bus.

When we’re not touring, we perform at Silver Dollar City in Missouri and live in our A-frame cabin in the woods of Arkansas.

Thanks for being here.

We would be honored to have you follow us here and listen to our music on Spotify!
