Newsies Musical Gets Start Date
Newsies, perhaps the greatest Bad Movie We Love, will hit Broadway as a new musical from Sept. 15-Oct. 16 at Millburn, New Jersey's Paper Mill Playhouse. Original composer Alan Menken is signed on, and he says the show "latche[s] onto exciting elements of what we had in the movie," while "minimizing the things that were not so great about the movie." This is a man who understands lovable badness. [NYT]

The Paper MIll Playhouse isn't on Broadway or even in New York City. It's in Milburn, NJ.
The flaw in your statement, Alan Menken, is this: NOTHING was not so great about Newsies! [Starts booking monthlong trip to NYC]

Wow, you are sure right. Amended. Thank you.
