PHENOMINALLY MEXICANA


More from Heraldo at the improv festival. The show was almost non-stop movement, which helped overcome the language issue. I've been to a half dozen Spanish speaking countries and know a bit about the considerable differences in diction. To my ear, Mexicans speak very quickly, making it harder for me to follow. Costa Rica, the Hispanic country where I've spent the most time, has a more leisurely pace. The cast threw in a few clues in English - one bit was based on the Dancing With Stars TV show. The show proved that for us humans, funny transcends language.
