I would also have to agree with the Washington Post. I saw the show a few days ago and I thought the Spanish was great in the first act and in "I Feel Pretty." It really worked and I thought the experiment was a success. And then came "A boy like that/I have a love," and half the audience didn't know what was going on. Also, the translation was different from the original song (to preserve the rhymes) and that kind of annoyed me at that point. So...if they changed that song to English, I thin...
