Summary
It’s a cult classic now, but when Disney’s musical “Newsies” debuted in 1992, it was a big old flop!
Jenna and Kevin are taking a look back at Newsies but are in total shock to learn the film was one of the biggest financial failures in Disney history, even though it was a big hit in their households! They share their thoughts on Christian Bale’s dancing and singing, the magic of Kenny Ortega, their favorite scenes, and their Glee reimagining of Newsies that is extra fun!
