conulyWhich yay! but it turned out it was the Broadway Newsies not the movie Newsies.
After watching it, I don't think I like it as much, though admittedly it has been quite a while since I've seen the original full-out. I should do that so I can compare properly.
(Also, historical note, while fictional characters who happen to be involved in based-on-a-true stories is one thing, I'm really uncomfortable with fictional characters who have real world parents/families. I didn't know until last night that I felt this way, but now I do! If we can prove a certain person didn't exist, they shouldn't be there.)

- She has a reasonably well-informed opinion on the subject, I just don’t recall what it is.

Too cold currently for input. Surviving Siberian Midsummer weather.
Everything frozen, car not working. I HATE NYC with a passion, but without
the tax revenue from them, Upstate would die a faster slow death than it's
already dying. This is not due to taxation, but mismanagement of funds,
stupid people doing stupid things, and nepotism in small towns with small
minds. Wait until King Andy legalizes recreational ganja. Then things will
pick up Upstate, because we have good soil to grow the sh*t.
