"Angels" the opera was heavily condensed - one might say the opera is more like a highlights reel of favorite scenes. The Comedie Francaise version managed to wrangle the full two parts into a three hour show, though I haven't read how that was achieved in detail. And then Ivo's production was heavily cut down to about five hours in one evening. I didn't see it, but I know he ended the play with Louis and Prior in the hospital bed, so no Night Flight to San Francisco and no Epilogue, among other cuts.
I'd guess "Harry Potter" has 3 - 5 years max left in it. The advertising around available seats midweek suggests sales are softening. |
