Broadway Votes has brought together cast members from both the film and Broadway production of 'Newsies' to promote voter participation ahead of the upcoming election.

The initiative released a short film featuring a reimagined medley of 'Carrying the Banner' and 'Seize the Day,' aiming to inspire Americans to vote.

This music video includes remixed performances of the aforementioned songs, specifically re-recorded for the 2024 election.

Directed by Kenny Ortega, the video showcases choreography by Sergio Trujillo and music by Alan Menken, with lyrics by Jack Feldman.

Ortega emphasized the importance of voting, encouraging individuals to recognize the significance of their voice in the electoral process.

The cast features a diverse array of Broadway talents, including Adam Ali-Perez, Jelani Alladin, and Nikki M. James, reflecting a commitment to inclusivity.

The video not only highlights the importance of voting but also serves as a tribute to the legacy of 'Newsies' and its empowering messages.

Filmed at New York's Connelly Theater, the project faced emotional challenges as it was dedicated to Gavin Creel, who passed away shortly before the shoot.

Broadway Votes, the theater industry's largest voter engagement initiative, aims to continue its efforts beyond the presidential election, focusing on local elections and ongoing voter education.

The campaign has partnered with over 18 Broadway shows to mobilize theater lovers for National Voter Registration Day and beyond.

Contributions from notable figures like Harvey Fierstein and the original creators of 'Newsies' underscore the project's commitment to civic engagement.
