I'm just saying, all the facts are there . . .
In actuality I couldn't understand why there was so much confusion about the phrase so I tried to think of where I'd first heard it. It is British according to online dictionaries so I guess that's reasonable. I lived in the UK for several years and some terms just don't cross over, which causes much of the same reaction when you try to use them unwittingly. I once was telling three people about how I got lost once because my sat nav was awful, and after giving noncommittal responses, all three confessed that none of them understood but kept silent thinking that they were the only one.

Yes, I'm aware. I just don't understand who would say that in a normal conversation.

It's probably the most common way people refer to it in the UK.

It's often referred to as sat nav here in Australia too. It's odd to me seeing people baffled by it.

I don't know if you're being deliberately obtuse, but THE BRITISH. Being baffled about that makes as little sense as a British person saying, "Cell phone? What the hell is that? I just don't understand who would say that in a normal conversation."

It was for me too; I learned it in England and just assumed it was universal (they weren't very widespread yet). I went back in my first year of med school on an exchange and everyone in that program along with me is prone to saying "sku-LEE-tal" muscle, or "um-bill-LY-cal" cord (which is actually pronounced the American way in the first song of Matilda, a British musical with lyrics by an Australian) unless we can catch ourselves. Sorry for getting us way off topic. I tried to rotate it back to musicals.

There are giants in the sky.
But at only 6'6", I probably don't qualify as one of them. Though in some international cities I do have a greater height advantage than here in the cornfed Midwest :)
And unlike Richie in A Chorus Line, I was never running around shouting "Gimme the ball". My limited atheticism wasn't intended for basketball.

do they still call cell phones "mobilles" with the long I vowel?

Well, most of us are American here, so it makes sense that we're "baffled" by a phrase that we don't use.

Does anybody yet have any info on Javi's anticipated weekly schedule? I have tickets to a Saturday matinee later this summer, and even though I'm dying to see Javi, I'm kind of prepping to see Luwoye.

Oh I understand that, I didn't mean any offence. I was just making a point that it's funny seeing the language differences. When I was in the states for instance I had to remember to say trunk instead of boot, or flashlight instead of torch. The most confusing was when I asked several people were the toilets were and I got "huhs?" until I phrased it restroom (or bathroom maybe? I can't remember), I was a little confused by that as I'm sure Americans know what a toilet is lol.

BroadwayConcierge, Javier is pretty active on social media. Maybe try and ask him there, since it doesn't appear we're getting an official statement any time soon.

the "toilet" is the actual apparatus used in the restroom (which is the phrase used in public. in homes i believe most use "bathroom," but the difference may be that there's sometimes a bath in your restroom at home).

It's the last paragraph of the following article. The remaining OBC has renewed for unspecified amounts of time.

I don't believe that's entirely correct to the extent it suggests that they have all signed new (renewed?) term contracts.
