The musical was staged based on motifs of Twelfth Night by Shakespeare. The original production was directed by Sheldon Epps. 19 previews were held in September 1996 in Old Globe Theatre. In March 1997 in Broadway, premiere started in Brooks Atkinson Theatre. In general, the musical was produced for 80 times. Acting troupe included such artists as C. Anderson, T. Pinkins & A. D. Shields. In the second half of May 1997, label Varèse Sarabande released a collection of songs from this spectacular.
The script, written by C. L. West, leaves alone the classic situation of the play Twelfth Night by Shakespeare. The author has transferred characters and action in the 1940s, in the era of swing in Harlem.
