Years later in 2018, it was announced a new version of the musical would have its world premiere at the Cleveland Playhouse. The new production would feature a 10-person cast, instead of the original 21, as well as new songs written by Gordon. Every actor in the ensemble (except Jane and Rochester) would play multiple roles throughout the course of the show. The production opened in late August to rave reviews. Cool Cleveland stated in their review: “Jane Eyre in its new form and format is a musical that shows that a “small” production, in which care is taken with directing, casting and technical aspects, can make musical theater more captivating than big, splashy, overproduced shows”.
