Newsadoozies: A man-eating musical! • Blood On Your Hands: Newsadoozies at UCB Theatre

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.

Blood On Your Hands: Newsadoozies at UCB Theatre

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.
