I'm not trying to be contentious, but I don't understand what you mean by this. In the current London version, the chandelier (albeit a new, round one) rises from the stage during the overture and crashes to the stage at the end of Act 1, just like it did in the original production. The reports posted here indicate that the chandelier does neither of those things in the current North American Tour version.
To be even more clear: the chandelier does not start from the stage and does not hit the stage in this tour version. It rises and drops over the audience. In all other ways, the current North American tour is a facsimile of the West End production.
