Episode 53- Newsies Seize the SCERA

It's been a long wait: Fans of Disney's Newsies, The Musical, or 'Fansies' as they are often called, have grown-up with the show in one form or another for nearly three decades. But it wasn't until this year that Utah Valley fansies could see the show, licensed and legal, in their own hometown stages. This week, Newsies will welcome thousands to the SCERA Shell as the first musical of the season.

On today's episode, we are on-site, at the Shell, and talking to several members of the cast and crew, and we'll see how much they know about Disney, musicals, their own show, and the real-life story behind it.

Guests: Michael Carrasco (director), Megan Johnson (stage manager), Cole Souza (Davey), Claire Johnson (ensemble), Skyler Mann (Race), Keely Conrad (Sniper), Tynan Hamilton (Ike), Everett Fairbourne (Scab).

Hosts: Rachael Gibson (also in the Newsies ensemble), and Quin Swallow (former real-life paperboy)
