For those of you who have seen the tour, what sort of merchandise do they sell? (Preferably if they have a window card with the tour artwork.) Also, what were your general thoughts on the tour itself and the new designs/direction?

I really liked the new designs. The way they do the scenes where they are going down to the phantom's lair are really cool. There are a few moments/designs I missed from the original, but overall I felt it was an improvement. (Sorry, I don't remember what merchandise they have.)

If you're a huge fan of the original version, I have a feeling you won't like this one too much. There were a few changes I liked (as mentioned above, the journey to the lair is pretty cool, and I do like the new design of the managers' office). The only problem is that they've made so many /unnecessary/ changes to the show (having Music of the Night in the bedroom with Christine wearing a blindfold, making Christine suicidal, going for the cheap movie version of the Red Death costume, etc.). The final product for me just came across as really...cheap, and I think they should have just opened up another replica tour of the original. Don't get me wrong, I love new productions of shows, but this one just doesn't work out very well.
