I was wondering where this was: the full press release from the Old Globe Theater on the forthcoming Dylan/Tharp musical The Times They Are A-Changin’ is available in pdf format at this link.

The plot summary is just a tad longer than that reproduced in the media accounts:

THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN´ is set within a low-rent traveling circus run by Capt. Arab,
whose wagon hasn´t moved from its location in some time – though not by lack of effort from his ragtag
band of clowns and performers. One such performer is the animal trainer Cleo, a young woman exploited
by Capt. Arab and loved by his son, Coyote. Coyote longs for a world outside the confines of the family
business, and as the circus show plays out, he must decide whether to flee or stay, and if he does stay,
how to inspire change within the troupe. At once dark and humorous, this provocative new musical offers
an iconic story – of fathers and sons, of leaders and followers, of immobility and change – that uniquely
connects the worlds of music, theatre and dance.

The rest of it is largely resumé stuff on Tharp, Dylan and the cast. Still absolutely nothing on who wrote the book, of-course.
