Many if not all productions of Annie Get Your Gun don’t have the I’m an Indian Too number these days...not PC

It is here, though, in a hilarious video spoofing
Warren’s claims...

...and I think that has scenes from the Peter Pan film...

Anyway, Wiki on Peter Pan:
>>Several productions of Peter Pan were staged early in the 20th century, starting on Broadway in 1905 with a production starring Maude Adams. In a nod to the original play, and the pantomime tradition it derives from, the title role of Peter Pan in the musical is usually played by a woman, including Mary Martin, Sandy Duncan and Cathy Rigby, among others


WHY IS PETER PAN USUALLY PLAYED BY A WOMAN?

>>Frohman reasoned that a man would be wrong for the part, and if they cast a boy, the other children “would have to be scaled down in proportion.” English law prohibited the use of minors under 14 on stage after 9 p.m. So a woman it was.
