That way, the show doesn't need to depend on drag jokes or anti-homophile inferences--in fact, they can be eliminated entirely. Instead, in show in which royal banquets where "the liquor flows like wine" are interrupted by would-be regicides with wooden spoons ("to stir the people to rebellion"), the chorus-line becomes one more irrelevant frill, part of an endless series whose insouciance about ordinary standards of sense as well as sensibility lets you just sit back and listen...

Frightened winos and derelicts crowded the dilapidated missions or dozed uneasily on hardwood chairs in the shelter of neighborhood chapels. Liquor sales were off, and the drab streets, lined with pawnshops, surplus-clothing stores and aging apartment hotels, were uncommonly empty.
