"There is a big difference...between 'political correctness' and acknowledging that some once-widely-held beliefs are now unforgivably wrong." Yes, exactly. Thank you. If beliefs that were once widely held are now considered so wrong and so offensive that they take an audience out of a show when they rear their ugly heads, I think that's a problem. The irony of this discussion is that we're all focusing on the way the "Indians" are portrayed in ANNIE GET YOUR GUN, but no one here has brought up the ending of the show (at least in the original version), where Annie basically wins Frank's love through placating his ego by throwing their final sharp-shooting contest -- because, you know, she's a woman and he's a man, and that's the way it's supposed to be!!! Can anyone tell us if the ending was tweaked for the current presentation? I know it was rewritten for the Broadway revival.
