I haven't seen Oklahoma! but is there a part where the lead whips out their dong and waves it in front of the audience?
If not, who cares what's in their pants?

Also, prosthetic dongs are a thing, if you prefer to keep the original vision of Oklahoma! intact.

TIL that there’s a version of the Oklahoma! movie without exposed genitalia.

Frozengyro @lemmy.world Also, did they verify the new lead is cis? I know a lot of people who have been in theater, there is a surprisingly large percent who aren't cis.

Right? If you’re gonna try to get all the queer kids out of theater you’re gonna have a really hard time.

They could have wrote that in. My junior high plays when I was in theatre were always just slightly different from the originals. 🤷🏻♂️
