| It would only be capitalized if used as a proper noun--just like the word "school." Example: He attends Oak Street School. (Capitalized--proper noun) He attends the school on Oak Street. (Not capitalized, but it's the same building!) But if you maintain that the Beauxhommes live at a hotel a la Eloise and the late great Ms. Stritch, that's your prerogative. |

| ... I know I get a lot of push back on ATC, especially when I shyly suggest that the answers to most questions are in the text. On page 5 of my online libretto of ONCE ON THIS ISLAND, Andrea sings as follows: On the other side of this island, safe behind high walls and iron gates, the grands hommes dance to a different tune. ALL (BUT ANDREA AND DANIEL) LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA DANIEL They drink champagne. Entertain tourists at their fine hotels. And tell their servants, “Polish up the Mercedes!” Hotels. Plural. Not mansions, Hotels. Tourists. |

| Mon Dieu. This like arguing with a Trump supporter. It's a cultural difference, NewtonUK. But if you're determined to believe that the Beauxhommes were staying at the Hilton, be my guest. Again, sorry you didn't enjoy this wonderful show more. |
