Wow, thanks for that very entertaining report :-)

I saw the Broadway production, and I don't remember many specifics about it, but I do recall that at least some of the lyrics of the song "Wonderful, Wonderful Day" were rewritten, presumably because the original lyrics ("Ding-dong, ding-a-ling-dong, were the steeple bells ever quite as gay?") were considered a little too hokey and simplistic. I also remember there was some rewriting to try to give the show a more positive view in terms of women's equality with men.

P.S. Two of the brothers in that production went on to better things: Jeff Calhoun and Lara Teeter.

I didn't see the show but I remember a bunch of actors, sporting bad orange dye jobs, picketing The New York Times, demanding the ouster of Frank Rich!
