| I'm okay with it also, partially because the play is acclaimed for the production design and "magic," not because of the text. A large portion of the text is being removed, but it's a pretty safe bet that the big "wow factor" parts of the production design and magic that brought the awards are still going to be intact. What I find a bit shady is when a show trumpets elements that are no longer present. Like when a production calls a show Tony-winning when the only Tonys it won are for cast members who have departed or are not part of that particular production. Many regional productions do this. It's technically true, but I find that more misleading than Cursed Child is being. |

Yup. A regional theatre using pull quotes from other former reviews to advertise their own production has always seemed to me to be more than a little Merrick-ish in design. I feel that they're secretly banking on the idea that many people won't really think about what they're reading. |

| Or a revival that quotes the original production's reviews, but you obviously know it happens all the time. On the continuum from transparent to "Merrick-ish," though, I'd scale this one somewhere in the middle. At least they can concoct a defense if they need to. | |
