“One of the best shows TUTS has produced”

“But the best part of Newsies is the dancing. Tomaino’s choreography is fabulously dynamic and these performers really do it justice: high, high energy. Great moves. Really, really giving ‘er. And when they come on with tap shoes, you know you’re in for a treat. Malkin Bowl seldom sees so many on stage at one time all working it together. And there are tumblers, too. So much energy compressed into one space. And to show how much they are appreciated, every one of them gets a signature curtain call dash across the stage – high-flying, somersaulting, cartwheeling. A very nice touch to celebrate such excellence.

Newsies is definitely one of the best shows TUTS has produced. I hope the show has legs and a way can be found to remount it somewhere, sometime. It’s too good to have it all come to an end  on August 17.”
