It probably is about the status of a new UK tour or the recent Sheffield production transferring to the West End.

Interesting!

I am not sure about that new logo, what is it supposed to be? A bird?

It's suppose to be phoenix. The original logo was far superior! The producers must be bored?

Not clear how reimagined this tour is going to be, but it is unlikely to have a helicopter - just the projections used in prior tours.  Also, not a very extensive tour schedule for the moment - only six locations between October 4, 2025 and January 3, 2026

I believe this will be re-examining the piece through a more culturally appropriate lens and the logo reflects this beautifully. While I am not certain, I believe the new logo is the sacred bird (referenced in the show's current finale - is it a Phoenix?), which is a much more Asian-centered image than the helicopter/face previously used. I wonder if Dewynters was behind this. It's a pretty solid rebrand for such well-known and iconic show art looking to reimagine what the show can be.
