Newsboys Stories

Ruby Willis never meant to become the heart of Manhattan's most chaotic brotherhood. At sixteen, she flees Santa Fe to escape an arranged marriage, landing in New York with nothing but a dusty dress and a stubborn hope for freedom. Then she meets Jack Kelly, the boy with dreams as big as the desert skies she left behind. What starts as a rescue becomes a partnership. Ruby becomes the "Duchess" of the lodging house, loved fiercely by the boys she mothers and the boy she falls for. Together, she and Jack face rival newsies, the roaring strike, danger in the streets, and the fragile tenderness of young love. But when the world threatens to tear them apart, they discover something powerful: home isn't a place. It's a person. From rooftop confessions to street-corner serenades, from found family to real family, this is the story of a girl who crossed a country to find herself, and found an entire world that refused to let her go. Romance. Chaos. Newsies. And a love worth fighting for.

Leave it to Alan Menken and Jack Feldman to outdo themselves as they adapt the 1992 classic Newsies into a Broadway musical. During their brainstorming of changes to be made to the show, they decided that both Jack Kelly and Davey Jacobs needed a love interest and what better twist than to make them the daughters of printing powerhouse Joseph Pulitzer. Broadway newcomer Neva Kelly is over the moon when she is cast as Elizabeth Pulitzer. Coming from a military environment, there was never the best opportunities for theater but Neva never faltered; her dream had always Broadway. And off Broadway ain't too shabby! Watch as Neva learns the ways of the bright stage alongside costars Kara Lindsay, Andrew Keenan-Bolger, Jeremy Jordan, and Ben Fankhauser. *** In the world of the conservative late 19th century New York City, it was unacceptable for a woman to pursue a career, much less two in one family. Enter Elizabeth Pulitzer, the younger sister of Katherine "Plumber" or so her byline says. Elizabeth is put to the test when her morals go against everything she was raised to believe by her overbearing father Joseph Pulitzer, the entrepreneur behind the popular New York newspaper The World. When a chance encounter makes her entire belief system come crashing down upon the young redhead, Elizabeth must decide to either stay with her normal standards or follow her heart. *** This story will go back and forth between the play and the behind the scenes with the actors. It will center around the actors but there will be an occasional chapter with the play so you can understand how Elizabeth plays into the plot. When the chapter is about the play, there will be asterisks around the chapter title. Just, FYI! Hope you enjoy! Caseyquigley

Profiles of the Newsies in Wait For It

"I never forgot you." "Neither did I." Friend. Many people spend their entire lives searching for that. A friend. Someone to share their life to, to tell every secret, every lie, every blessing, every curse. To have a friend, is one of the greatest gifts of the world. One that once upon a time, Racetrack Higgins had that. Once upon a time, Anastasia Redwood had that too. Until, one day changed it all. The word, once so understood, so familiar became foreign, and forgotten until... The Newsboy Strike of 1899... Welcome, to LOQ, take two. Filled to the brim with angst, adventure, and love.
