The new song, "Letter From the Refuge," features music and lyrics by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman.
In Newsies, Crutchie, a paperboy who walks with a crutch, is thought to be lucky by the other paperboys because he sells more papers due to his affliction. He befriends Jack Kelly, the leader of the newsboy strike. During a protest, he is beaten, apprehended and taken to the refuge, a juvenile detention center, where he performs this song.
Andrew Keenan-Bolger has appeared on Broadway in Beauty and the Beast, Seussical, Mary Poppins and Newsies. He recently appeared in Paper Mill Playhouse's Ever After and is co-creator of the web series "Submissions Only."
