i wish people treated medda as if she was more than jacks mother figure. yes she is that and yes its beautiful that shes willing to be that for him & the fact that he has that support system & safety net is wonderful HOWEVER, shes also a black woman in 1899 who is successful enough to run her own theatre. shes also a woman who was willing to risk losing her theatre or getting blacklisted because she helped those kids and allowed them to hold a rally in her theatre. (in the book she literally mentions the papers have power over her too. if reviews don’t get published her career is at risk). shes an Incredible and mesmerizing performer who can fill seats nightly. shes probably saved a few of the boweries from ending up on the streets. she lets jack come in and get paid for doing art which he just Enjoys. clearly shes just willing to Help people who heed it. shes an incredibleeee character with an enormous heart and while she does love jack she is so so much more than “jacks mom” :’)))

"My child is fine"
No, they aren't. They are singing and dancing around in the living room, pretending to be a newsboy striking.

some proposals for places i would put an f-bomb in newsies if i could only have one:
"What, you mean like a strike?"/"Well, you heard Davey, we're on strike!"/"Fuck"
"I'll learn to make do with the mansion, the oil well, the diamonds, the yacht... with Andy, Eduardo the pontiff and Scott... and Frank... oh, and my fucking bank."
"Oh, c'mon, Katherine! Those boys are counting on you!... Oh, you poor fucking boys."
"And we found our voice!"/"And I lost my fucking shoe!"
"Write it in ink or in blood it's the same either way/They're gonna fucking pay"
literally any of jack's lines in watch what happens (reprise)
"...or cross the Brooklyn Bridge... hell, you can't even get out of your own fucking office."
"He's a fucking sellout!"
"I trust you know my daughter, Katherine."/"What the fuck?"
"My father has eyes on every corner of this fucking city! He doesn't need me spying for him."
"If you weren't going to Santa Fe..."/"Yeah, and if you weren't a fucking heiress."
"NEWSIES! WE FUCKING WON!"

So everyone is always talking about Medda being like a mother to Jack or the newsies but what about Denton?
Dad Denton needs more recognition

MONOPOLY ~Newsies Broadway Edition!
Game pieces >
Hat - Les
Art palette - Jack kelly
Newsies sash - Davey jacobs
Type writter - Katherine
Cigar - Racetrack
Crutch - Crutchie
Feather fan - Bowurey beauty's
Glass of seltzer - Albert
Instead of Monopoly money they have to use coins
Instead of community chest it would be Headline board
If you land on go to jail it would be called Get sent to the refuge by snyder
If you have the crutch you have to stay in jail intell there are only 2 people left in the game 3 if you count the person who just got back in the game, but you have to pay 60 cents since your safe.
Free parking space would be changed to Get away from the bulls
Just visiting will be changed to Helping escape the refuge and if you choose to help someone escape you would have to either role doubles or pay 60 cents to get them out of the refuge.
Also one of the fun cards would be called "Startin a strike" you would have to throw the coins in the air from the bank and try to get more money
The middle of the board is newsies square
Some of the properties would be,
Santa fe
(Basically all of the places in New York that had newsies)
And medda's theater
And more places from the show
If you get passed go you get 200 and it'll be known as "Carryin' the banner"
There will be a couple spots on the board where you get into trouble with the dalanceys. You have to pick one other person to roll one dice and if you roll higher then them your safe but if they roll higher then you you loose 50 cents. But if you get a tie you both pay 25.
If you loose it's not bankruptcy... It's loosin' the strike
Also whoever wins the game is "The King of new york"
Thank you for listening to my Ted talk.
(The broadway Edition!!)

My friend just told me Medda doesn't have any essential purpose for the plot like I WILL SHAVE YOUR TEETH IF YOU EVER SAY THAT AGAIN YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
