Recently, we 'ave 'ad mention of "sans Lupone " and "La Clark" in discussions about Les Comedies Musicales (Le Boulevard de Sunset in particular) ... Mais pourquoi, when the French (sauf Boublil and son ami Schonberg) don't really 'ave any pedigree in... Musicals. So why do we adopt French Camperie when discussing them? A mystere, non?

Shouldn't that be le Boulevard du coucher du soleil if you want to be all French?
Anyway, I think "La (insert name of actress)" has nothing to do with musicals, but has been around for ages to mark a great star. Would be interested to know how that even started or with who?

The use of 'sans Lupone' didn't make sense to me. Maybe they meant 'sauf'.

I could be wrong but 'La *insert actress here*' was in use already centuries ago. And I thought it was an Italian thing.
Almost all of the terms in music came from Italian language so I've always assumed it was something that came from there?
