I think this is the approach they took in the play version: the restaurant staff sang with American accents and made some joke about what people were expecting, which seems fair.
Is it though? A modified version of the scene seems like a dishonest solution to a problem that has good, straightforward solutions:
- Don't show them (if its a conversation you don't want to have yet)
- Show them and then discuss the scene
Norms change time... different people think different things are ok... these are lessons children need to learn just like any other.
