Can Anyone detail what's been cut from the chicago version to get the show under 3 hours?

The Albus and Scorpius conversations appear unchanged from the 3.5 hour version. The magic tricks are still there though Chicago's adjusted them to remain within the proscenium. The adult scenes are cut quite short. Whenever the adults have to be caught up on what the teens are doing, or vice versa, we fast forward to the sound of a ticking clock.

I saw the under 3 hour version today at the Lyric Theatre. I was at the first two preview performances there in 2018 and haven't seen the show since, so I have no frame of reference on the 3.5 hour version.
The thing that struck me most is absolutely every moment I remember from the two performance show is still there. I know from reading online dream sequences and a Lily Potter Jr plot were cut, but I don't really remember those parts. So from a plot perspective, there was probably a lot of fat to trim.
On the other hand, I enjoyed the watching the 5.5 hour version considerably more, so something was missing from a character development standpoint. The clearest example I can point to is in the long version Albus and Scorpius's interest in each other felt romantic in nature but is not directly addressed. In the shorter version, the relationship came across as more platonic until the two lines at the end, where the script implies they are a couple.

I recently received a playbill from the LA run of the shows tour and I noticed that Warner Bros Theatre Ventures was an above the title producer. They were not credited during the Chicago engagement and browsing through the programs of engagements of the show since LA they have not retained a producers credit. Anyone have info on what this relationship between the original producers and Warner Bros entailed and why they received a producers credit for LA, but not for any other engagements?

Rupert Grint will not only be returning to Broadway for the first time since It’s Only a Play over a decade ago, but also to his iconic role of Ron Weasley! He’ll be doing a limited 17-week run in the show from February 2nd-May 30th, 2027.

This is quite a casting coup for them, even more than Felton; looks like the production will continue to be raking it in for another year.

It's partially needing to keep the show afloat and Grint likely needing a job.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Ah, so that's why Rupert went on record recently saying that he makes so much money that he can pick and choose his projects.
