Newsies is a musical where none of the main characters can carry a tune with a plot line full of holes. There is, however, lots of well-choreographed ensemble dancing if that is what you are looking for. That earns it two stars. I was surprised at the poor performances from a few of the veteran actors. I didn't think it was possible for Robert Duvall to do a poor job acting (I'm a big fan), but he certainly did so in Newsies. In my opinion, the only reasons to watch Newsies are to learn a little history and to see a few young actors (e.g. Christian Bale) before they became more famous.
