Changing the words would require permission from the rights holders (which is not impossible, just an extra step involving emailing your MTI rep). There is nothing in the official Thespy rules that restricts any kind of language. In fact, it's more important that the student follow copyright laws.

My student is thinking about doing Epiphany from Sweeny Todd. He is worried about the language in it. I am pretty sure it is not a problem but I wanted to check. thank you
