Last year when this Tony Award-winning musical rolled through town, I was stuck in bed with the flu. Nothing is worse for an arts journalist than missing a musical about newspaper delivery boys who buck the system and go on strike over low wages. It’s all inspired by a real-life strike by newspaper delivery boys that went down in 1899 in New York City. Sounds like headline heaven.
