Newsies is my second favorite live-action Disney movie (Mary Poppins is number one). I am so thrilled they made it into a Broadway show!
Well Newsies just received 8 Tony nominations. Hopefully this will make disney give it an open run.
From what I've read, it's pretty much a done deal. I think it was just a matter of working out everyone's contracts and waiting for the Tony nominations.
Plus, advertising a closing date creates a great rush for tickets going into tourist season.
Listening to the audience reaction last night, my sister and I both said "Nope, they're not closing this in August!"
They're also releasing the movie on blu-ray in June. I heard a bunch of people saying they wanted to get it during intermission last night. I also heard a lot of people saying they wanted to check out "Joyful Noise", which starred Jeremy Jordan (who plays Jack in Newsies and just got a Tony nomination)...guess that movie is getting a nice boost too!
