They'd probably also tone down the oedipal undertones. Probably no Ophelia suicide. I doubt they'd have their Hamlet callously sets two of his college friends to be executed. Less poison, less religious commentary, less wordplay, less philosophy. The play scene would probably be a musical number. Fortinbras would either be cut, or would be evil and working alongside Claudius. Hamlet would be a plucky underdog with Big Dreams™ instead of a paranoid, sociopathic lunatic. So, in short, I don't know why anon would ever want this.
