The same production at the Fulton Theatre in Lancaster, PA is now playing at the Maine State Music Theatre in Brunswick, ME. I had the pleasure of seeing it Friday and was blown away. It's on a slightly smaller scale than Broadway or the tour, but has the same quality and high level of energy. If you are in the New England area in the next two weeks, it is worth seeing. This video has some highlights.

In a season that continues to top itself, one show after the other, Maine State Music Theatre's fourth and final main stage production of Disney's Newsies is an epic accomplishment for the company and one that firmly establishes it as one of the finest regional theatres in the country.
