Welcome to New York, circa eighteen something! Uptown, the aristocrats and robber barons think they own the city. Downtown it’s the thieves, pimps, and she-males. But the real kings of the city, the only truly free ones, are the news boys! Or for short, the newsies! Or for even shorter, the newsadoozies! And for some reason, they’re all British!
Newsadoozies is a new musical parodying cult movie/Broadway show Newsies. Newsadoozies chronicles the news boys of New York City in their adventures of selling newspapers, finding love, and getting eaten by the members of an ancient evil cannibalistic sex cult.
Newsadoozies is currently running at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre NY.
Attention LA residents: Newsadoozies is coming west! We’ll be performing May 31st at the UCB LA for one night only! We’re paired with another great musical, Bombs Away!
But don’t worry, New Yorkers. You can still get your Newsadoozies fix Wednesday May 16th at the UCB NY where admission will also get you Brandon Gulya Will Be Famous Soon.
We have a trailer! Come check us out April 6th and 25th!
We were packed last month, so make your reservations now!
Great write-up on the show on Emerging Musical Theatre:
Best of all, the music is catchy. It plays on all the big-hearted musical conventions, from the passionate love duet to the big rallying number complete with every type of revolutionary you can think of. My friend and I agreed that something we appreciated most about the show was that the songs themselves were incredibly funny with lyrics that were perfectly timed for some hilarious moments.
April dates announced! Paired with THE BACHELOR: Romance, Roses, and Romance on the 6th and Dog Fleet on the 25th. Tickets on sale soon!
Thanks to all who came out to Newsadoozies on Monday!
We’re doing it again on Monday, March 19th at UCB in case you missed it.
