The Dumas Junior High Dramatic Demons are preparing to perform their very first community production on May 14th at 6pm in the DHS Auditorium. The group will be performing Newsies. Admission will be by donation and open to the entire community.
Newsies The Musical is a musical based on the 1992 musical film Newsies, which in turn was inspired by the real-life Newsboys Strike of 1899 in New York City. The show has music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Jack Feldman, and a book by Harvey Fierstein based on the film’s screenplay by Bob Tzudiker and Noni White. The musical premiered at the Paper Mill Playhouse in 2011 and made its Broadway debut in 2012, where it played for more than 1,000 performances before touring.
