I followed the link, but I’m not seeing a reason. Could it be about a tour conflicting with this production?
If that’s the case, it happens all the time.

He clearly states the reason at the beginning of the speech. And it's not because of a tour.

He said they're shutting it down because it would "offend" too many members of their community!!
Shameful!!!

Not cancelled. Yet.
Not cancelled - just under review
But once the Disrict review is complete, we will see what happens.

Shocking news -- racism should upset audiences, slavery, racism, prejudice against immigrants, and the wealthy people looking the other way is upsetting and should be.

Mitch McConnell made the call and canceled it.....from hell.

Interesting (yet totally understandable, given the times we live in) that everyone assumed they were cancelling because they thought the themes would be offensive to white people, when it sounds like the concern was that the use of the N word may be offensive to black people.

Whatever the reason, I'm glad that censorship lost this battle.
