Thought I'd post this here:
I have it on very good authority that sometime during this week, or possibly the next, they're going to change the song "Sunrise". The portion that opens that song, in which Nina is teaching Benny to speak Spanish, is a Puerto Rican lullaby, written by a schoolteacher in Vega Alta:
pollito, chicken
gallina, hen,
lápiz, pencil
y pluma, pen
etc.
Apparently, there have been some copyright related issues that were not resolved, so they're going to have to drop that from the show.It was still in the show on Tuesday.
This breaks my heart, because when I heard this song, which I used to sing as a little girl, I literally squealed with delight.
Last I heard, negotiations had fallen through, but I'm still hoping they find a way to keep it in the show. If anyone sees the show before Saturday, please let us know if that portion's still in, or if it was cut. I was hoping my parents would get to hear it.
