You can read my review of the tour when it was in Phoenix a little over a month ago at the TB link below. I saw the original broadway production in previews and in a nutshell the tour is almost on the same par as what you would see on broadway. The main difference is the Pride Rock set - on broadway it rises from beneath the stage whereas the tour set doesn't but slides on and off stage instead. There might be a few other differences as well but the cast is huge on tour so I don't think they cut any tracks to reduce the cast size. I'm sure someone else will have the specifics as to any other differences but my review should give you a good idea.
