Huh. I saw the tryout in Chicago and I found the show messy and mostly forgettable, but I'm curious to see what subsequent changes were made.

Yeah def seems odd considering the tour is bound to be "less than" compared to this.

Based on what I’ve seen, it seems to live somewhere between the Broadway and Tour set. It’s missing the broadway platform units that created the second level and the foley artist is in the tour location. However the ramps appear to be restored that were not present at my tour stop. Things that were practical on Broadway that were reduced to projection for tour appear to be back (ex: Squidward Sign). It also appears we have the broadway version of the volcano back with the tangled web of ladders from the flys as opposed to the roll on unit that is on the tour.
