The Student Edition contains small cuts from the original show, mostly of a few bars and repeats, although some are more substantial. It is some 25 minutes shorter than the "official" version, although no critical scenes or songs have been removed. One or two changes may have been made for reasons of unsuitable language or sentiment (although the editors have not been squeamish about retaining the darker aspects of the drama such as the prostitution scenes or Bamatabois' abuse of Fantine) but most cuts have been made merely to shorten the show to a length manageable for young performers. A few subtle changes of vocal pitch have also been made for the same reason. "Stars" by Javert, "A Little Fall of Rain" by Éponine and Marius, and "Castle on a Cloud" lose a verse each. "Dog Eats Dog" by Thénardier is heavily truncated as well. In June 2007, the King's School (Australia) produced another "official edition" of Les Miserables with past students of the school (this was allowed as the show was produced by Braeside Music and Drama). The show opened on June 6th in conjunction with the 175th anniversary of the school, coinciding with the 175th anniversary of the Lamarque riots.

I've seen both versions several times and can tell you unless you know the show very well it's hard to distinguish one version from the other. The main difference in my opinion is the logo. When my daughter played young Cosette we used the full version of Castle on a Cloud, not sure if they got an official ok to do so but shhhhh!
