Does anyone have any insight as to which version of the show the Roundabout is presenting? Is this the original or the revised version ghostwritten by John Guare for the last revival? Or a new version revised by someone else?

I find it hard to believe that the Roundabout would present this very flawed show with the original 1948 libretto and tunestack with no changes. I mean, human nature seems to be to want to "fix" even flawed chestnuts, even though I didn't think the Guare revision really accomplished much of anything. It's a show that has never made much sense, other than as a showcase for a brilliant score and (hopefully) terrific performances.
