The first tour was an extention of the original production, just moving to mroe cities for shorter runs, so in essence 1985-90 was one production.

The second tour, sometimes referred to as a revial was it's own production, 93-96.

Tent tour was 99-01.

World tour was unconnected, though in the Australian style, new tent (in white), new cast, new costumes. It opened in South Africa with a South African cast. As the tour went through Europe and Asia they got Australian cast replacements. It ran 2001-04.

Asia pacific tour, 2007-10. This one was an Australian based production, auditioned and rehearsed in Australia, but back in theatres rather than a tent. It's first Australian stop was in 2009.

South Korea opened a Korean language production in 2008 very quickly after the tour went through, modeled to be identical to the Australian production.

A second Korean produciton happened in 2011-12, this time with wigs you could hang-glide with.

The Chinese language production was again modeled off of the Austraian cast that had passed though.

In 2014 the Aisan tour opened in South Korea, in English, with a mostly Australian and South African cast. No dates have been anouced for Asia past this month. It has been announced that Australian begin in Septemeber. Whether any of the London changes are implemented is the big mystery.

As far as I know, all of these produciton have been done my Jo-Anne Robinson (as were Hamburg and Stuttgart).
