My first reaction when I heard this news was NO!! And that has not changed. I do think that the lyrics can be translated. Specially as Lin Manuel Miranda made a whole book full of notes what the meaning behind the lyrics are. But I am convinced they will not put the right person(s) on translating and it will be a mess. Things will get lost that make the songs interesting to listen to. So I keep hoping they will decide not to do it and have the American tour in Carré for 3 months. I can't wait until they finally announce the new Broadway aan de Amstel show. They said they'd try to announce it before the summer of this year... Hell yea. I mean, when Pippin opened, they made so much noise about this becoming an annual thing and it's gone really quiet since. Perhaps they couldn't get the shows they were hoping for? "Untranslateable" shows like Book of Mormon spring to mind or indeed Hamilton at some stage. |

Maybe Though I guess we can only speculate right now... I would really welcome Something Rotten as I purposely did not see it in New York as I had read somewhere it would come to London. Instead I saw the dull American in Paris which DOES come to London now while Something Rotten is in limbo. |
