Gold! 🥇 Thank you to all of the amazing teams that we shared the stage with over the course of this tournament, to the front of house, techs, judges, to host Dill and for this amazing programming that celebrates an art form that pushes us to take risks, learn from (and embrace!) failure, and highlight the beauty of connection, collaboration, and PLAY. 💖🔥

We need people to engage with it as much as possible (like, comment, repost and share!!!) to win (the prize is one teacher’s conference fees this summer would be paid and the kids get a Zoom meeting with a Broadway star!) we are up against some heavy-hitters so this would be a big win for Thurber!!! Thank you- here’s the post:

….fewer than a handful of this cast walked into this space with any tap experience, and we are SO PROUD of everyone’s hard work and willingness to learn in order to make “King of New York” happen. We are still over two months out, and they are killing it! This is the most dance we’ve had in a show since West Side Story in 2018; you do NOT want to miss Newsies! 🗞️
