La Boheme was never translated and Spring Awakening was originally in german.

Well, I don't know if you count Les Mis, because the English production is really different from the original French revue, but that's the first one that came to mind for me.

Also, there's Big River, which is bilingual-- English and ASL.

Methinks the Broadwaynerd doth protest too much... :)

What did Kathy do?

And maybe I should stop the insults towards Bwayfan9 just a bit.

Bwayfan9, you just pissed me off too much at the begenning.

Dance of the Vampires wasn't really translated, though. It was first written in English and then translated to German.

Les Miz!

Duh.

And this is a good question. I don't care if a "sock" started it or not. We need good threads on BWW. I'm tired of "who did you get stuff from at the stage door?" crap.

Also, anything Ibsen or Chekhov. A Doll's House. Three Sisters.

The musical version of "Cyrano" from the mid-90s was originally in Dutch.
