Without that crutch, non-Spanish-speaking audience members may better appreciate the identity and integrity of the Sharks and comprehend the Jets' insecurity, he said.
Or they just won't know what's going on. Either way.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

So half the play is basically unintelligible to a portion of the audience? Where's the logic in that?
Have you seen History Boys ?

Our wings are not tired.
Now it's just part English, part Spanish, no translations.
How real life like. It wouldn't matter for those already well familiar with the story. It will be interesting to see how it works out for them.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I only saw the movie.

I'm pretty familiar with the story (again, mostly from the movie) but not to the point where I remember individual conversations.

Oy. In the comments, someone is complaining that they changed "America," because "in the original," it was the boys and girls arguing with each other, and now, it's just girls arguing with other girls. Um, nope. Original was all girls, movie was boys and girls.

Does it have subtitles? The best parts of that play are in untranslated French. While I saw it in London (where presumably there are more French speakers in the audience), I think people still got a lot of what was going on.

So I have 7 cups of cauliflower-leek soup. Went a little heavy on the pepper, and I forgot to get any parmesan (will rememdy that later) but it is pretty darn good.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
So is LJ going kablooey?
Eh, I seriously don't think so. Never hurts to make a backup, of course.

I don't remember a lot of French, to be honest. From what I understand, they changed a lot from the stage version when they adapted it.
