I saw a workshop and I have to say I think the score is wonderful. The lyrics are super clever and the melodies are terrific. It has the feel of a classic 1950's musical by Frank Loesser that you somehow never saw. There's a choral number sung by the bus drivers that I couldn't get out of my head for weeks. Alice has a very clever number about her frustration with Ralph's latest scheme involving a piano, and Ralph's song at the end, "Baby, You're the Greatest"—roll your eyes, if you must—it's so sweet, and when the chorus, Bells Are Ringing-style, all joins in at the end, it soars. Ok, I'm also a huge fan of the TV show, but I think the book is hilarious.
At the time, Jerry Mitchell was directing, but having seen On the Town, I'm very excited that Rando is now on board. He's the right man for this kind of show.

What happened with Jerry? Also, is there a chorus in the show?

What's the point of canceling their Goodspeed run if they aren't even opening in the fall?

This is such BS. I know because I was asked to invest in this. They don't even have enough money to co-produce it at Goodspeed. John Rando is hack and the workshop was a bust.

It does seem pretty implausible that anything will happen this year (if ever), given the total dearth of news since March. And it sounds as hacky as the Spongebob musical, anyway.
