... 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.

I say it's spinach and I say the hell with it! (Apologies to Mr. Thurber.)
