I was disappointed with the curse elimination. Sucks? how can you take that out of the song, the rhyme? Can any of you guys tell me why that happened?

PBS has their own standards to adhere to.
But yes ..sucks seemed like a ridiculous one; the f bombs are less surprising.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

There is apparently an unedited version floating around according to people on the other thread, but I’m not sure where people are finding it.

It’s PBS that we’re talking about. That being the case, I a was not surprised by the editing out any swearing. To me, not only was I happy that I was able to see it. And, it was very very enjoyable to me and as such, the minor censoring of some of the language was not bothersome one bit.

There are 2 versions made of this filming: one is edited for broadcast (edited dialogue and camera cut aways for censoring purposes) and the other is an uncensored full version with no camera cut aways. The uncensored version will be available on streamers like BroadwayHD. The uncensored version was leaked and has a running time code watermarked. No info on how to access this uncensored version (that’s work for y’all to do) and no info yet on when it’ll be available on BroadwayHD.

Yeah, that's lame. They nearly ruined Falsettos for me with the lyric changes. Ugh.

It's PBS, people. It was a great presentation of a great production.
Get over it, already.
