Newsical The Musical Tickets

Newsical (often spelled “NEWSical the Musical,” with a frequently updated subtitle) has entered its second decade as an off-Broadway hit.  This cheeky, fast-paced satirical musical takes its inspiration from today’s headlines, skewering celebrities and other public figures in a revue powered by actor-composer Rick Crom’s sprightly music and lyrics.  Because of the show’s topical nature, new musical numbers are added and dropped regularly, and there’s no telling what you’re in for when you purchase Newsical tickets. 

The musical originated in 2002 as a revue titled What in the World?! that ran in Greenwich Village; this incarnation of the show was well regarded and would receive a Nightlife Award.  From there, the revue (now titled Newsical) moved to the John Houseman Studio in January 2004 and then to Studio 54 later in the same year.  Accolades continued to mount, and the production would earn two Drama Desk Award nominations.  Among the celebrities that the show mercilessly roasted were Arnold Schwarzenegger, Martha Stewart, and Anna Nicole Smith.  Newsical went on to launch a U.S. tour, and it has been revived, with entirely new material, in 2009 and 2011. 

This charming show continues to provide lightweight amusement for theatergoers.  If you’re searching for Newsical tickets, you’re in the right place—just select the show you wish to attend.
