I just finished directing a version of Millie in a mainly caucasion community as well. We approached the whole show from a cartoon perspective and made everyone bigger than life...that way the tall blonde boys I had playing Ching Ho and Bun Foo fit right in!
I didn't try to hide the fact that they were cacausion, it would have just been silly and probably offensive. We just had fun, and they ended up stealing the show.
