HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD Reopening Night Thread

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.

HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD Reopening Night Thread

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?
