So maybe this is a weird question, but I know Bet Platt is playing Cunningham in Chicago, and I know he is less heavy-set than the other actors who have played the role. So I am wondering, did they change the "listen to the fat white guy" lyric for when Ben Platt is playing Cunningham? If so, what did they change it to?

From a video I saw on Youtube, they changed it to, "We must listen to the weird white guy!"

Ben Platt had me in stitches with his nerd-to-the-max portrayal of Man Up!

They first used it for Benjamin Schrader on Broadway, and is the default alternate lyric for the non-chubby Cunninghams. (Platt, Michael Buchanan, and, I assume, AJ Holmes).

Yeah, inexplicably, the Chicago company has two standbys and an understudy!
