Robert "Bob" Tzudiker (born August 28, 1953) is an American screenwriter and actor. Tzudiker is best known for co-creating and writing the screenplay for Newsies along with his wife Noni White, which was based on the real-life[1]Newsboys' strike of 1899. Newsies began as a "classic underdog story ripped from the history books", with writers White and Tzudiker approaching producer Michael Finnell with an idea for a nonmusical drama; however, Disney studio head Jeffrey Katzenberg redirected the project to become a musical.[2]
The stage version of Newsies opened March 29, 2012,[4] and closed on August 24, 2014, grossing over $100 million.[5] The 2017 three-day cinema showing of Disney's Newsies: The Broadway Musical! broke ticketing records to become the highest-grossing Broadway event to date from Fathom Events.[6]
He is currently an Adjunct professor of screenwriting at the John Wells Division of Writing for Screen & Television at USC Cinematic Arts.[8]
Prior to writing, Tzudiker worked as an actor, appearing in Total Recall, Ruthless People and Hill Street Blues, among many others. He is a graduate of St. John's College in Annapolis, MD.
