During my many trips to the west end boards. I have noticed how people were saying that Poppins was closing because they wanted to tour with it. And, people over there have now suspected that the same will go for Wicked. I know that in the US tours coincide with thier broadway counterparts. But, I was wondering, In the UK do they only use the sets from the West End production. Thus, having to wait for the west end production of a show to close before they can go on tour with it?
They don't always have to wait. There have been UK national tours of Phantom and Les Miz while both shows were still playing in London.
