After the 1971 tryout, When Do the Words Come True? underwent a complete rewrite, with music and lyrics by John Meyer and book by Richard Maltby, Jr. and John Meyer. This version was presented in 1979 as part of the Brookdale Summer Repertory Theatre season. Only the title song was retained from the original version.
