In Australia for work and looking for shows to see this week (ask me about the Saturday Night Fever production I saw last weekend while trying to fight jet lag, oh god!) and saw this article:

Big plans for Tootsie in the 2020-21.
I’m curious if they’ll adjust jokes for each theatre community it plays. Surely broadway jokes won’t get as big of a laugh in London or Australia
I can't help but feel this is simply a marketing ploy to try and build hype + Tony voters. "Oh look we're a massive success - we're so popular we need to open productions in London, Australia and a US tour right now to help satisfy the demand". I'll believe all of this when I see it. Especially the Australian production.
