The Musicals with Cheese podcast just released an episode on The Fantasticks. They made me aware of the 2022 production at Flint Repertory Theatre in Michigan. Librettist Tom Jones revised the libretto for two male lovers and their over-protective mothers. The comment section on the MTI page says that licensing rights for future productions are still being finalized.
I'm curious to learn how well this worked. Reviews aren't telling me much. Did anyone here see it?

Just the fact that Tom Jones is reworking a piece he wrote 63 years ago is AMAZING.
I hope this new version gets done in the DC area.
