ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

 

They delivered the papers — and then they made the headlines.

This smash-hit, Tony Award-winning musical tells an extraordinary story inspired by actual events. When a band of underdogs became unlikely heroes who stood up to the most powerful men in New York, they shook the world. It is an energetic tale about fighting for what is right — and staying true to who you are.

The music will energize you, the dancing will astound you, and their story will inspire you.
