PLAYBILL BACKSTAGE: Let's Hear It for the Newsboys of "Newsies," Part One

www.playbill.com/video As the world-premiere engagement of the stage version of Disney's "Newsies" plays its final week at Paper Mill Playhouse in New Jersey, to Oct. 16, cast member Ryan Breslin plays Playbill correspondent, introducing us to the "newsboys" and backstage players who created the new musical in the quiet solitude of Millburn, NJ. Before the show, troupers explore the "cast" koi pond, warm up with some ballet moves and share the complexity of prep work that comes with being a swing.
