The Catherine Wheel III is a tour-friendly redaction of the original Broadway production. The set is more compact and the cast slightly smaller. Tharp condensed the original seventeen sections to fourteen and reduced the plot to its essential elements. Character names were eliminated, transforming story into allegory.
