NEWSIES-Cast List

Thank you to everyone who auditioned for Disney’s NEWSIES. Between in-person auditions and virtual submissions, we saw over 450 people! While that makes us feel so proud to work for a theatre that has that many people wanting to work with us, it makes casting incredibly difficult. We narrowed it down from 450 to 38. While this news may be disappointing to some, please know that it was not a reflection of your talent or potential as an actor. The decision was based solely on the specific needs of the production.

Please don’t let this discourage you. Your talent and passion for acting are undeniable, and we encourage you to continue pursuing your dreams.
