Yes, the set is basically the same and the show was dreadful but, you are all overlooking the most important thing. Barrett is shirtless.
For some on this board, the level of nudity or partial nudity, is what determines whether or not a show worth seeing.
If you notice, the lighting is completely different, as well. It's darker ... more dramatic. On Broadway the lights were happy and very bright and did not compliment the sets at all. Here we have a much more balanced realistic design. Also notice the lighting for "The Latest Rag" is set at sun down with the dark red atmosphere behind the happy passengers. Almost as a foreshadow of what is to come. (As if we didn't know). and yes, add me to the list. I saw the tour twice (despite everything) I was still crying... (and no, not that I wasted money...)
But CATS, those are production still from it. The lighting will be different for photographs, anyways.
