Does anybody know what was the difference between the original spamalot set and the revival set?

The set design for Something Rotten! (Scott Pask) is GORGEOUS!
More pictures Here!:
Eh, sorry. I thought Something Rotten was quite a boring set. Fun Home, while not a beautiful "set" really flowed beautifully so I think it was designed quite beautifully and thoughtfully.
Love the Fun Home set too!!! Could go wither way with Something Rotten, also love Hedwig!
Agree! I thought Hedwig was a really cool design.
Favorite set?! That's so hard. I love all things design. I think, in this season, Fun Home takes the cake. The moment when she returns to her childhood home, and the whole set floats into place is just pretty spectacular. I think The Visit is pretty pretty in its eeriness and simplicity. Curious Incident was cool for it's innovation and concept. But I hated how it looked in the space. You could tell it wasn't designed for that space.
BUMP! My favorites from the 2014-2015 season were An American In Paris and The King and I.

I know this is going to sound strange but the set design for the original Jeckle & Hyde before it's Broadway debut. It actually toured the country before it went to Broadway and it was quite impressive. They changed it quite extensively for the Broadway stage.
Say what you will about the production itself, I thought the stage design , especially the water/river was ingenious in this year's "Therese Raquin".
Favorite Sets:
-Cabaret
-Spring Awakening Revival
-Sleep No More (although its technically off broadway)
I'll second the recent votes for AN AMERICAN IN PARIS (which was rewarded with last year's Tony), and absolutely for THERESE RAQUIN, which should be remembered come Tony time in 2016.
I found almost everything about Therese Raquin to be incredible dull. But the set was exceptional.

Spring awakening revival . I love the use of dark toned wood and brickwork and the exquisite lighting that gives the feel of oil lamps. Very different from the original bright neon SA lighting
Look up Walt Spanger's Pajama Game. It's gorgeous and and super inventive.
I saw "A Prayer for Owen Meaney" in Denver and the set design was stellar.
Last season was pretty great for musical set design. An American in Paris (a worthy winner), Fun Home, The King and I, and The Visit (absolutely should have been nominated) all had brilliant and varied designs that perfectly fit their respective shows.
Fun Home - I love this video: (Can I put this up here)

Massive bump
Nattasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812

Bumping this!
Having just seen Sunset Blvd. with Glenn, I have to wonder if we'll ever see a set of this scale and detail on Broadway again? I felt very torn about the new set currently at the Palace. I thought it was extremely functional but was extremely unatractive.
