| "So she hangs out in heat and cold and rain and whatever outside the gates of the 5 Star Hotel where light sklnned boy is staying (living? why is he still there?) - he comes out with his bride to be and tosses coins at the peasants. Ti Moun (pronounces Tee Moon) promptly dies." You seem to ridicule nearly everything about the show, even how "Ti Moun" [SIC] is pronounced. You even flippantly referred to it as a "5 Star Hotel." You seemed to be wondering why Daniel was "staying (living?)" there still, so I was just trying to let you know that your understanding of the term "hotel" is incorrect. I'm telling you, there is no Ritz Carlton in this story. Even the wedding is at the estate. And, yes, there would be tourists around the Beauxhommes' estate just as there would be tourists around any other large, gated estate of wealthy people akin to a royal family, especially if Daniel and Andrea are to make their first public appearance as a married couple. As for the authors explaining the meaning of a word...I had no issue with the use of the word "hotel." I just sort of figured it out because the characters use lots of French phrases and pronunciations. Plus, I trust that the authors probably know the material better than I do. Of course, it would not make sense for any of this to take place in a "5 Star Hotel," so for you to criticize points of the show based on misinformation seemed ridiculous to me. Could I have worded it in a nicer way? Yes. Sorry for that. Sorry, also that you had so many problems with the show. I adore ONCE ON THIS ISLAND and think it's a beautifully crafted piece of musical theater. |
