Self-proclaimed “former picky eater” Erin Kiernan has been trying every new food that has been offered in Spain. Knowing she had a newfound adventurous streak, I thought I could coax her onto the stage of El Teatro Romano in Mérida to share a song. It did indeed take a wee bit of nudging, but she shared a song from Phantom of the Opera.
