“Gender balance through casting… impressive choreography”

“…director Julie Tomaino has given the show more gender balance through the casting of females (e.g. Haley Allen as Henry) in what would usually be male character roles.

And if the central message of the musical doesn’t get you, the dancing and its impressive choreography will win you over. The newsies tap dance, engage in acrobatics, and generally dance their feet off in dance sequence after dance sequence. The chorus is fantastic; throughout the entire performance, they never flag, winningly showcasing their nimble feet.”
