Get Your Papes Here!

E fell in love with the Disney movie, "Newsies" the first time he saw it. He LOVED that movie and watched it like a hundred times. Just like with every other kid movie, I've seen parts but never watched the whole thing through. I did recall the one scene, in the street, with the whole Seize The Day thing.

We knew it came out on Broadway and always thought it would be cool to see. Realistically, we knew we weren't getting to Broadway though. It's too expensive and we really don't have time to get into the city for a play. We could've made it work if we were given free tickets or something, but since we don't have a fairy godmother, we were just never seeing Newsies on Broadway.

Just recently we saw on Facebook that Jake Aboyoun, our friends' Eddie & Sherri's son, is IN a local production of Newsies. Well, that was a game changer. Broadway is out, but the Rhino Theater in nearby Pompton Plains, NJ was totally doable.

We bought tickets and went this past Friday night. It didn't disappoint! Rhino Theater is small and intimate. So it's kind of an interactive experience which really makes it cool. Every seat is a good seat. The acting was terrific and we really enjoyed the show.

Newsies is running until July 8th. So if you have a free night - Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, with or without the kids, it's a fun time. We go to all the Glen Rock High School plays and we missed seeing Jake do his thing. He's home from college for the summer, so it was nice to see him act again. The whole cast was fantastic. It was just a really good show.

Rhino Theater - get your tickets here and see the rest of the schedule. Freckleface Strawberry is up next once Newsies closes. We'll probably go see that too!

E never met a step & repeat he didn't like
