Interestingly, according to the Playbill article, it's been completely rewritten by Dick Scanlan, including unheard old songs from Meredith Wilson, and a book that only features the two characters:
" Scanlan said, "Michael Rafter is the music supervisor [as he is for Everyday Rapture], and, in that show, that's a very good job because we're only using part of the original score — and, for the rest of the show, we've gone into Meredith Willson's trunk.
"I'm the first person who has ever been allowed in that trunk, and I found piles of wonderful songs that nobody knows, so Michael Rafter's building those into a score that sounds like one unified score."
Scanlan has written a brand-new libretto that eliminates all of the other characters except for the two leads.
"There are similarities in the characters of 'J.J.' and Molly, but the lines that they are saying and the story they are in is different from the 1960 version," Scanlan said. Richard Morris wrote the original libretto. Willson is best known for writing book, music and lyrics for The Music Man."
