Okay, my younger son's Middle School did a ripping good "Cell Block Tango" in a review a few years ago. In a public school. So, yeah...WTF? With a WEEK to go? Sounds more like someone was looking for a reason to cancel the musical and used censoring the show as an excuse. But then, I've developed a suspicious nature in my old age...
Back in my parochial school days in the 60s the nuns wrote new lyrics to "Officer Krupke" because they didn't like the ones we were singing. But at least WE opted to dump it rather than sing "my brother's in distress."
