SUMMARY:Disney's Newsies JR. | Auditions
DESCRIPTION:When:\n\n\n\nAuditions January 2027 dates to be announced \n\n\n\n\n\nAudition slots will open on TBD \n\n\n\nDisney’s Newsies JR. will be performed at the Clay Center for the Arts & Sciences. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDirected by:\n\n\n\nTBD \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAge Range:\n\n\n\nAges 8 -Adult \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore Detail:\n\n\n\nAs always\, we welcome walk ins during our audition times. We will also offer limited video auditions prior to audition dates for those out of town during auditions. For more information on video auditions please email ctocwv@gmail.com. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCharacter Breakdown\n\n\n\nJack Kelly \n\n\n\nThe charismatic leader of the Manhattan newsies\, is an orphaned dreamer and artist who yearns to get out of the crowded streets of New York and make a better life for himself out West. Fiercely protective of his best friend\, Crutchie\, and very loyal\, Jack isn’t afraid to use his voice to attain better conditions for the working kids of New York City. Look for an actor who can command the stage with ease\, possesses strong vocal abilities\, and can exude Jack’s tough-guy exterior and his big heart. \n\n\n\nLes \n\n\n\nDavey’s cheeky younger sibling\, is excited by the newsies’ freedom and loves their independent lifestyle. This pint-sized charmer should present as younger than the other newsies \n\n\n\nCrutchie \n\n\n\nJack’s best friend and a dedicated newsie with a “bum leg” from polio that causes pain\, but helps sell more papes. Walking with the assistance of a crutch doesn’t define the ever-positive newsie\, so look for an actor who can portray Casey’s goofy-sweet sense of humor and optimistic resilience. Crutchie is accustomed to modifying daily activities for their disability\, so consider both the character and actor’s abilities when blocking and choreographing. \n\n\n\nDavey \n\n\n\nLes’s straight-laced\, bright big brother\, starts selling newspapers to help his family earn a living but becomes swept up in the fervor of the strike. A leader in his own right\, who is learning to use his voice to uplift others\, cast a strong actor and singer who can lead “Seize the Day” while smartly portraying the brains of the resistance. \n\n\n\nKatherine Plumber \n\n\n\nAn ambitious young reporter\, works hard to make a name for herself as a legitimate journalist in a time when women aren’t taken seriously. Quick\, funny\, and resourceful\, Katherine should be a strong singer with excellent diction for her showstopping number\, “Watch What Happens.” Because Katherine and Jack possess a strong bond\, consider auditioning these roles together to get a sense of the performers’ repartee. \n\n\n\nMedda Larkin \n\n\n\nInspired by the African- American vaudeville performer\, Aida Overton-Walker\, A big-voiced singer and star of the Bowery (see the “Dramaturgy” document in Downloadable Resources). A proud supporter of the newsies\, she offers her theater as a safe haven for their revolution. Look for a performer who can portray this astute entertainer with great comic delivery\, while standing firmly behind the newsies in their fight for justice. \n\n\n\nWiesel \n\n\n\nAka “Weasel”. A disgruntled paper-pusher who uses the Delancey brothers as his muscle\, runs distribution for the World and has little patience or sympathy for the newsies. Feel free to incorporate this actor into the newsies ensemble when possible. \n\n\n\nJoseph Pulitzer \n\n\n\nA pompous businessman through and through\, owns the World and is concerned solely with the bottom line. Katherine’s no-nonsense father\, Pulitzer doesn’t sympathize with the strikers\, but he does eventually – and grudgingly – respect Jack. For this non-singing role\, cast a strong actor with a sharp and imposing presence. \n\n\n\nBunsen \n\n\n\nPulitzer’s bookkeeper who helps Pulitzer come up with the idea to raise the newsies’ price per paper. \n\n\n\nHannah \n\n\n\nPulitzer’s secretary who is a clever advocate for the newsies. \n\n\n\nPat \n\n\n\nAn efficient stage manager who introduces Medda’s act. \n\n\n\nGovernor Teddy Roosevelt \n\n\n\nA well-respected lifelong public servant who inspires Jack to stand up to Pulitzer. Cast an actor with the ability to portray the maturity and stature of this well- respected leader. \n\n\n\nSnyder \n\n\n\nThe crooked warden of The Refuge. A filthy and horrible juvenile reformatory\, is concerned only with catching enough kids to keep their government checks coming.
