Yes. An interview between him and Lin Manuel Miranda was released today and Sondheim mentions how he's working on the show and has an upcoming deadline for it. I think we'll probably see it in 2018 at The Public.
I find it interesting that Sondheim is doing this, and the Met Opera is also doing a Bunuel-based production this season. Why the increased interest in this fellow?
I posted this in another thread (copy-and-pasting it):
I believe it's still supposed to happen, but they're waiting on Mr. Sondheim, who has said the writing process is going slowly. I have a friend who was in a show that was supposed to transfer to the Public next year, but they supposedly got pulled from the upcoming season line-up to make room for Sondheim's new show. So if that's true, hopefully we should be seeing it next year.
Unfortunately I don’t. It was something new and not well-known that was in development. I guess “transfer” was the wrong word. It’s also possible that I’m misremembering some key detail here. I just figured I’d share anyway, because rumors are better than nothing at all.
Happened to be at a rehearsal studio today and there was a rehearsal for a reading of the new Sondheim musical for the public theatre. Sondheim was there as was Glenn Close.
Joel Grey, Michelle Williams, and Sam Rockwell were also there though it’s unclear if they were there for Sondheim’s new musical or rehearsals for “Fosse” and “Fiddler” or something else entirely...

Fosse? A revival or something based on the book? Haven't heard about this.
