King & I question

Took the grandkids to the stunning production at Lincoln Center. Now I had done this show in summer stock and had seen several of the Yul. Brynner revivals as well as the overblown version at Jones Beach.I'm sure I've seen hs and community theaters tackle the show as well. I'm pretty familiar with the text



I Don't ever recall the line about the King building a wall around Siam. Of course it comes off as a reference to the Trump. Has this been added to the show or is it something that stands out now because of our political circus?

Thanks

The restored dialogue has been there since previews. It was discussed in early articles about the revival and some reviews.

Kim is marvelous in the role.

I saw the show this weekend (first time Mazzie and Kim) and I thought his singing was quite respectable for someone not known as a singer.
