text: Performances There were more than 30 entertainment events at the fair. Moses disdained carnival-style attractions, saying that there would be "no whiskered women, tattooed giants, nudes on ice. [...] The appeal of a world's fair should not be entirely below the Adam's apple." As the WFC's president, Moses also reserved the right to ban any project from the fair. Shows that appealed to prurient interests, like seminude dancing, were thus ruled out. An exception was an adult-only musical puppet show, Les Poupées de Paris. The lack of adult shows may have contributed to the amusement area's unpopularity in 1964. The ban on adult shows was relaxed in 1965, and nine discotheques opened at the fair during that season. A striptease show in the Louisiana pavilion lasted two performances in May 1965 before it was canceled.
  Musical and theatrical performances took place at several pavilions, and there were fireworks and water shows at the Pool of Industry. Among the theatrical shows were the revues To Broadway With Love, Wonder World (which lasted two months), and Summer Time Revue. DuPont presented a musical revue in its own pavilion, The Wonderful World of Chemistry. A controversial minstrel show in the Louisiana pavilion was canceled after two days. International pavilions, such as the African, Indonesia, and Spain pavilions, also hosted dance and other live shows.
