I’m not sure what the current licensed version is. The free read from MTI has the Shrek and Fiona prologue, the trans slur, Ballad of Farquaad and the short jokes. I assume it hasn’t been updated yet.
They said they cut Farquuad’s back story so I’m guessing so. Sounds like they were really trying to offend no one and in doing so basically gave him nothing to do.

I’m in Shrek right now and all those things are still in it.

It seems the tour took a layoff to fix it problems and it looks MUCH better!!! Wonder if any music/lines will have been changed?

The costumes look better, but the set is still the exact same and I'm sure the Music/Book are all the same as well...

Anyone else hear about the copyright takedown notices people have been getting on social media RE: the costume photos? That's INSANE. Is it even legal?

They needn't worry about anybody copying these designs.
I don't think they're worried about anyone stealing them and more so people seeing how crappy this production is and not buying tickets.

Is this about that post on Reddit from earlier today?
Not a lawyer, but I have some knowledge about copyright law. I didn't see the original post that was taken down, so it's hard to say. Most likely, it is completely legal. Whenever companies file for copyright protections, they are usually really broad to cover all sorts of things.
If the image they posted was taken during the actual show, they can definitely have it taken down. If it was them re-sharing the officially produced photos, then it's a bit more of a grey area. There are certain exceptions to the law, such as fair use, but I'm not certain that would apply.
Edited to add: Do I think they have ulterior motives for taking it down? Oh, absolutely.

Cecily Davis (Fiona) has left the tour and her understudy is taking over. She also deactivated her Instagram. I hope she’s okay! From what I’ve heard, they’ve had a LOT of schedule changes and already shortened the tour to conclude at the end of this calendar year.
The producers of this tour has a lot to be ashamed of with the clear mistreatment of the cast being up there.
