Just put a sign up at the entrance to the auditorium saying:

I think PC has gone too far these days. I was about 14 when I first went to see Chicago in 1980 with Mum & Dad. We all loved it.

I don't think CP disagrees, I think she's just questioning - what exactly can be cut out of Chicago to somehow make it a "student" version that avoids all non-pcness? It's hard to imagine any amount of editing that would satisfy objectors, there isn't a moment in the play that's not about some sort of immorality.
