I don't know why anyone would doubt that ALW would put on a good show. I've even seen the non-replica productions of POTO and they were awesome. 

They have released a FAQ:

The tour is quite different:

1. The courthouse is fully realized on stage and in the tour it's a digital backdrop.

2. The McFly home is fully realized on stage and only a backdrop on tour.

3. The car only moves around the stage after lifting off and in London it flies over the audience and flips upside down.

Still impressive but if you can see it in London.

Wow everyone on here is so negative. As a long time Phantom fan I am on the edge of my seat waiting to buy these tickets. Love the marketing they have done as it's been so creative. Why come on here to complain? You haven't seen it or experienced it but have a whole lot of judgements. Just stay home and let us fans enjoy it.

So they bring alternatives with them for the McFly home, the diner, etc? I mean it was missing a ton of stuff that I’d just seen days earlier. 

I have no problem with understudies. But don’t bait and switch paying customers with paired down major set pieces when your loading out the same day. 

The show literally had replacement sets and props.  Examples:

Doc Browns huge chair in the opening of act 2 become a small stand.

The Pinheads sign was reduced to a crappy looking banner.

And more. 

I saw the show twice in Seattle and the last performance was missing set pieces. The show was clearly loading out outside and they must’ve loaded out the McFly home and other elements early cause all we got were backdrops. The sets were there days before. Totally ridiculous. We paid the same price and got less show. I want my money back from the shady producers.

Are they going to offer refunds each night Hilty is out sick?

My nephew, brother, and I absolutely loved the show from start to finish. You gotta go see it. Forget the critics!

Justin Cooley was the true star of this show. 

Saw it last night and really enjoyed. No standout songs but I laughed so hard. Totally enjoyable evening of theater. 

For me I think the story would be better served as a play. The music just wasn’t memorable. 

Seen 8 shows this week and this was our fave. So funny. 

Can't wait to see it next week!!!

NY Post says Phantom will be returning.
