Like, yes, congrats to all those Broadway debuts, but my desire went from "my must see" to "no reason to catch this" if I could see it on tour in my hometown. I want to see someone like SJB and McKenzie Kurtz or someone to eat this score and book down. I just feel as though my interest has drained on this one."

Same.  I bought tickets expecting an all star cast.  Now I wish I had skipped this all together.  I didn't go when the tour came to my hometown because I didn't recognize anyone in the cast.  I feel kind of cheated if the plan was always to have the touring cast play Broadway.  Why didn't they just include that detail when they first announced it was coming back?

My review on page one of this thread is still my thoughts months later, but now with the cast announcement I am a bit worried about the physical production. 
 

The cast is fantastic and Christine is literally one of my favorite Donna’s I’ve ever seen; but this is the entire tour cast which would lead me to believe the entire tour set will be loaded into the Winter Garden for this sit-down; which would be heartbreaking. I know nobody comes to Mamma Mia! for the set or spectacle, but the tour set doesn’t hold a candle to the original Winter Garden set. Hopefully Mark Thompson has some ideas (and a budget) to spruce up this run, because $400 ticket prices for a 2nd National Touring set that’s 20+ years old really bums me out.
