is a new musical (!)
staged in Philadelphia.
I wonder if the eponymous hero
tackles the strange, defective*
American auxiliary verbs to wanna and to gonna
(maybe modelled on Scots dinna[e] )
which have already crossed the Atlantic.
*in the grammatical sense
Dinna[e] is Scots for do not or don't
Example: I gonna wanna goanna for Joanna.
