Disney's Newsies - The Musical

Seize the day under the stars as Disney's Newsies — The Musical comes alive at Kansas City's iconic Starlight Theatre. Based on the inspiring true story of the 1899 newsboys' strike and the beloved Disney film, this electrifying stage production brings together explosive choreography, soaring anthems, and an irresistible underdog story that captivates audiences of every age. Set against the warm September sky, there's no better venue than Starlight's magnificent open-air amphitheater to experience every triumphant moment in full grandeur. Running September 9 through 13, 2026, this limited five-night engagement gives Kansas City audiences a rare chance to witness one of Broadway's most celebrated musicals featuring showstopping numbers like 'Carrying the Banner,' 'King of New York,' and 'Santa Fe.' The breathtaking acrobatic dance sequences and powerhouse vocal performances transform Starlight's stage into the cobblestone streets of turn-of-the-century New York City, where a ragtag band of newspaper boys dares to stand up to a media mogul and fight for justice. Starlight Theatre — a Kansas City treasure since 1950 — seats over 7,000 guests in a stunning outdoor setting, making each performance a truly communal and magical experience. Whether you're bringing the whole family, planning a date night, or treating yourself to world-class entertainment, Disney's Newsies promises an unforgettable evening of heart, humor, and high-flying theatrical spectacle. Secure your seats early — this run is destined to sell out fast.
