Tickets are now available for CHP's spring musical, Newsies, to be performed April 18-19 and April 25-27 at Mathews High School's Harry M. Ward Auditorium.

Adult tickets are $21 in advance or $22 at the door. Student tickets are $10. Season tickets are still available, as well.

Inspired by the real-life Newsboy Strike of 1899, this high-energy musical by Harvey Fierstein and Alan Menken tells the story of a band of runaway "newsies" who go up against Pulitzer, Hearst, and other powerful newspaper publishers to fight against social injustice, exploitative labor practices, and a corrupt establishment.

Songs include "Carrying the Banner," "Watch What Happens," "King of New York," "Something to Believe In," and others.

With performances over two weekends, audiences have six opportunities to see the show.

The first weekend will have two shows, at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 18, and 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 19.

During the second weekend, there will be four shows: at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 25, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 26, and at 3 p.m. on Sunday, April 27.

Tickets may be purchased at CHP box office locations, online, or at the door.  For advance purchase information, click here.
