Where in the World is everybody from?

Not to upstage the other thread, given that most posters here are from North America, where are the other members of the Broadwayworld family from? What other countries/cities are represented?

Melbourne, Australia here!

Hey, alterego, I'm a U.S. boy, but I have a question:

I've heard that Melbourne is pronounced "Melbin". Is this true?

Wanna Be a Foster - sort of, the 'bourne' part isn't emphasized as much as you would expect, most (here) would pronounce it as Melburn. Same with Brisbane, it isn't pronounced as Bris- bane but Brisbun.

There are definitely more Aussies, but they're all snug in their beds right now.

Or they should be.

The damn Elisabeth musical.

But let's not get into German musicals, that's far too depressing. And please keep it English, it would be unpolite otherwise.

Yes, we should definitely make a thread like this!

But maybe we shouldn't call it "Germans Only"... I can already hear people scream "NAZIS!" *g*

I have never seen a German musical, but I was sent the song "Gold von den Sternen", and it must have some of the dumbest lyrics I have ever heard...

Nazis!!!



I'm from boring old dull America. My father's parents were from Russia. That's the best I can do.

I feel like singing "It's a Small World" now!
