Guitarist Xinqian Li to perform in Disney’s “Newsies” musical

USC Thornton Studio Guitar program doctoral candidate Xinqian Li (MM ’24) will perform in Disney’s Newsies musical, presented by the Conundrum Theatre Company. Performances will take place on January 23, 24 and 26 at the El Portal Theatre in North Hollywood.

Inspired by the 1899 Newsboys’ Strike in New York City, Newsies follows a charismatic newsboy who rallies his fellow “newsies” to fight against publishing giants like Joseph Pulitzer. The story is set to music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Jack Feldman.
