I believe the runtime was about 90-95 minutes.

This show is very similar to the NBC production. It runs straight through, no intermission, so be prepared for that.

I agree. Also Shakespeare --> Romeo & Juliet --> West Side Story. 

There are plenty of others.

There was a production in 2018 in Oregon with a lesbian Curley and Laurey, and a gay Will Parker and Ado Andy. See this article from the New York Times:

I saw it Friday evening (12/20) at the Hippodrome in Baltimore. I thought it was amazing. It was 100 minutes long, no intermission. It moves fast without much chance to applaud, although for a few songs, people just *had* to applaud and squeezed some clapping in. It was very intense especially seeing it five days before Christmas. I am seriously thinking about buying tickets to see it in Hartford CT at the end of February.

I saw The Witches of Eastwick back in 2014 at the Ogunquit Playhouse in Ogunquit, Maine. I liked it so much, I went twice. James Barbour (currently playing the Phantom on Broadway) was one sexy Daryl Van Horn and I needed a double dose of him! Sally Struthers (an Ogunquit regular) was a lot fun as the town busybody/moral arbiter (sorry, don't remember the name of her character).

Here's a clip from the show:
