Claims it was over "inappropriate language" but I think we can all see right through that

This is in a conservative area of NJ, so I'm not surprised they're attempting to cancel it. It sounds like the BOE thought with it being a HS edition that it wouldn't appear so "gay" and not have any of the language saying so. Kudos to all that spoke up about it. I hope they get sold-out audiences for this production.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Posted: 10/14/22 at 2:56pmI immediately thought of Angie’s response to Emma thinking she was the understudy in the original production of Chicago. I can’t remember if there were other expletives in the show which they could use as an excuse, but that’s a big moment. They should probably release a high school version.

Dee Dee also says "Well, what the ****?" after The Lady's Improving when the principal tells her that "not charging someone for an apology is not a selfless act." But, I believe they ARE doing the soon-to-be-released HS edition, per the article in the first post.
