Soundtrack to the 1992 Disney film, an homage to the classic movie musicals of the ''40s and ''50s. This film marked the directorial debut of choreographer Kenny Ortega who also directed Dirty Dancing and High School Musical and featured the music of composer Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Enchanted). 16 tracks. EMI Gold. Product NotesArguably one of the oddest films to emerge from the modern Disney Entertainment empire, this scrappy 1992 live-action musical tells the tale of a turn-of-the-last-century labor uprising among New York City''s newsboys (or "Newsies")--an especially ironic topic given the Mouse House''s own historical labor relations problems. It was also a valiant attempt to revive the glory days of the Hollywood musical, and Alan Menken (fresh from his triumphs Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid) serves up a rousing retro slate of songs (with lyrics by Jack Feldman) that both evoke the Ragtime-era story and bring a musical revivalist''s fervor to the task of reanimating one of filmdom''s most endangered genres; a throwback to be sure, but an energetic and infectious one. --Jerry McCulley If You Enjoy "Newsies (CD)", May We Also Recommend:Customer Reviews for "Newsies (CD)" by Jack FeldmanThere are no customer reviews yet.
