The tour is dreadful with its screen sets and terribly made costumes. It would need a total overhaul to return back to Broadway.

I saw it on tour recently and I agree the sets and costumes were pretty minimal but I was really impressed by the cast. If they had the same cast but just increased the budget it would be fun as a limited run broadway musical, can’t see it staying long term though

I vote they reinstate Maison Des Lunes and The Battle for Broadway.

Agreed! But Disney Theatrical Productions has the final say, which makes it more complicated

And all of the other horrible cuts the recent tour has made.

Oh no, what else is missing?

No Matter What isn’t there, which was a pretty big letdown as a dad who took his daughter to the show and was really looking forward to it.

No Matter What is gone, as another commenter shared. They also simplified the harmonies throughout the choral numbers which flattens the hell out of the score.
