Critic Reviews

Its intentions seem fairly modest, and so are its achievements. It's a modestly enjoyable diversion.Full Review

Hal Hinson

Newsies' drag is its predictable script.... It's not a bad hook, but the treatment is uninspired, despite a fairly engaging turn by Bale. [08 Apr 1992]Full Review

Mike Clark
USA Today

It's mostly entertaining, and has some strong moments, but it lacks the special magic that a musical needs, that sense of its inhabiting a parallel universe where any wonderful thing can happen at any moment, including music suddenly arising from nowhere. [10 Apr 1992]Full Review

Mick LaSalle
San Francisco Chronicle

It has been put together with just enough efficiency to qualify as an oddball labor of love.Full Review

Owen Gleiberman
Entertainment Weekly

Newsies becomes a string of set-pieces, some of which work, some of which don't, all barreling full-speed ahead toward its Teddy Roosevelt deus ex machina. [10 Apr 1992]Full Review
