Overview
- Second Stage named Tony- and Emmy-winning designers Jason Sherwood (scenic), Linda Cho (costumes), Jen Schriever (lighting) and Nevin Steinberg (sound) and confirmed Christopher Gattelli as director and choreographer.
- Samuel Davis will handle music supervision and orchestration with Rick Hip-Flores as music director, completing the production’s music team.
- The production is scheduled to begin previews on October 22, open on November 16 at the Hayes Theater, and play a limited engagement through February 7, 2027.
- Tom Jones supplied a revised libretto that recasts the central romantic pair as a same-sex couple and the parental figures as feuding mothers, and casting for the Broadway run has not yet been announced.
- The updated show was developed at Flint Repertory Theatre in 2022 and later at Provincetown Playhouse and Coachella Valley Repertory, and the high-profile creative lineup signals a Broadway-scale reimagining that could raise the visibility of queer stories on the main stage.
