The musical was originally scheduled to debut at the Grand Theater of the Taipei Performing Arts Center from May 24 to June 2, 2013, but was postponed at the time due to the health of actor Chen Xiyu.

The musical previously had a run at Seattle's Village Theatre directed by John Tillinger and choreographed by Sergio Trujillo.
