This morning on “Good Morning America,” the cast of Newsies, the Tony® Award-winning hit Broadway musical, celebrated one year on Broadway with a special performance of “Carrying The Banner” that took the newsies from the streets of the Nederlander Theatre (208 West 41st St., New York City) to a takeover of GMA’s Times Square Studios.

In its first smash year, Newsies has been seen by nearly a half-million people, broken seven Nederlander Theatre house records, and has regularly been among Broadway’s top 10 shows. In December, Newsies became the Disney production to turn a profit fastest, doing so in just 41 weeks and confirming its status as one of the biggest hits of the 2011-12 Broadway season. The show received 23 major theatrical nominations – including eight Tony Award nods – and won Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Score and Choreography.
