Just read this on the Wikipedia page for Urinetown
"Originally planned to open on September 13, the show contained several references that, after the September 11 attacks, would no longer be politically correct. Ultimately, only one line was removed from the script, and the show opened September 20, 2001.[5]"
anyone know what the cut line was?

Well, Bobby is thrown off the top of UGC building, which is described as a tall tower, so perhaps there were more lines about plunging to your death from a tower if you break the law.

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

Udderly.
And can you imagine Harris' reaction? He'd still be beefing about it.
