Will I miss anything if I went to London instead of NYC for Cursed Child

Why is this a question? Are you expecting a different plot?

From what I've seen/heard, no. There are some differences, but none that take away from the story.

(Spoiler request)

 

I didn't know there were differences between the London and NYC versions.  Are the differences in the plot/dialogue, or in the special effects?

No but Cursed Child in NYC has the Original Cast. I wonder how much issues I would have seen not the Original one in either Melbourne NYC, San Francisco or London ?

Huh?

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

In London, the wand dance is shorter in part 1, and the graveyard scene in part 2, there's no hand that jumps out before Voldy comes out from behind. The whole Godric's Hollow part from part 2 in London is also staged differently than in NYC (for the better IMO). Dialogue is all the same throughout, and all the special effects are the same too.

I saw both the London and New York productions. London was better. The actress who plays The Train Witch  and Professor Mcgonagall is terrible in New York; embarrassingly bad.

No substantive difference at all.  The theatre is arguably nicer in London and you will likely save a lot of money.   I've seen in in both.
