The new Les Miserables?

Can someone who is very familier with the show tell me the main differences between the new production on Broadway (Broadhurst Theatre) and the old production (The Imperial Theatre). Also why was it revived so quickly. It seemed like it closed and reopened within a year or two. Also any links that describe the differences would be great!
Thanks!
Spicificaly was wondering if they "scaled down" the production at all. Or if it is pretty much the same set the show has always had?

Most Les Mis productions stick faithfully to the original story.

So I can't see any differences except for approaches to the props and different actors of course.

Every production is wonderful if you love the story like I do.
