EXTRA! EXTRA! Before the Broadway show was created, NEWSIES was the number 1 title request by the fans for a staged production. The constant growing pressure worked and Disney finally responded. Due to its overwhelming success, 2 months after it opened at the Paper Mill Playhouse, Disney announced it was moving to Broadway. Newsies cost 5 million to produce and became the fastest Disney musical on Broadway to turn a profit. After 1,004 performances, it went to national tour and finally was filmed and preserved for generations to enjoy.
Having only been made available through digital streaming, Newsie's fans world wide have been begging for a physical release of NEWSIES: The Broadway Show on DVD/Blu-ray. It might take another push from the fans to make it happen. We made our voices heard once, it's time to do it again. We must SEIZE THE DAY and REQUEST that NEWSIES BE RELEASED ON DVD/Blu-ray. LET'S MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!!!!! PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION AND SHARE IT ON YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA FOR EVERY NEWSBOY & NEWSGIRL TO RAISE THE BANNER!

I have been monitoring our progress as we continue to advocate for a physical release of this production. The enthusiasm in the comments section remains a testament to the enduring legacy of the show. We are currently evaluating the next steps to ensure our request reaches the appropriate departments at Disney.

The momentum behind this request for a physical release is truly encouraging. It is apparent that the dedication of this community remains as strong as the day the show first premiered on stage.

I have been patiently waiting for this since seeing it in theaters. Come on, Disney - even if it's a special feature on a re-release of the original movie. The thirty-year anniversary is coming up!
I love watching Newsies from movie to show. It's better than watching Hamilton. Please bring the show to blu-ray.
I have been a Fansie since the movie was released, which I saw 7 times in the theater! I hope you appreciate my loyal support over these many years!
Streaming is one thing......but having this on DVD & Blu ray is a WHOLE new level to enjoy. PLEASE DISNEY....RELEASE THE HOME VIDEO!!!!!!
I love Newsies! So do a great number of people, and I think we’d all be willing to pay a good amount to have this performance on DVD.
Do it!!
There should be interviews and backstage tour, too!
