"I'll never take you sailing! I'm never going to leave Egypt again!!!" -Aida
I wonder if it was Tim Rice, Adam Pascal or my imagination that supplied the exclamation points.
Yours?

I don't get it. Peggy Wood was American so why was she pronouncing "can't" as "cahnt"?
Come to think of it, even the kids said things like "dahncer" and such and they're American, too.
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia

Posted: 6/21/10 at 2:24pmIt's a trope known as "Jesus Was British." If a character in an English-speaking film isn't explicitly an American, but comes from any other country, and if the film is set in that country only, the characters tend to speak with English accents, since that is considered the "default" non-American accent. This even applies to American films like Sound of Music.
