Disney Theatrical Productions, under the direction of Thomas Schumacher, has announced that the updated and re-imaged production will include a revised book by David Henry Hwang, who co-authored the original version.

Elton John and Tim Rice‘s Tony and Grammy-winning score will remain in the show and Schele Williams, a member of the original Broadway cast, will direct the production with choreography by Camille A. Brown.
