Crapgame13 - close but not because of citizenship. It was the Equity membership (that Lea didn't have back then) and that Cameron refused to open the production if Lea was not allowed to perform when advance ticket sales of over 1 million dollars has already been made. You don't have to be a citizen to perform on Broadway (i.e. Jonathan Pryce, Ruthie Henshall, etc.). And you were right about the race issue. A lot of people complained on how the production portrayed Asians.
