Not touching the topic of the war (though having it show up in THIS particular thread is a rather fascinating juxtaposition)...
HOWEVER, I want to just throw out there- what if removing "Temper, Temper" has absolutely nothing to do with changes for American audiences? How about the right that ALL shows have to alter things when opening another production? "Poppins" certainly wouldn't be the first show to have dropped something before opening in New York. When I saw the show in London I was of the opinion that "Temper, Temper" wasn't really working- and I'd like to think that had more to do with my eye for theater than my 'American-ness'.
