Directed and choreographed by Randy Skinner, the musical is conceived by John L. Haber, with a book by Robert Horn and Haber and a foot-stomping score by Red Clay Rambler Jack Herrick.

An earlier version of the musical, presented by Amas Musical Theatre, played a hit limited engagement Off-Broadway as part of the 2004-05 season under Michael Bogdanov's direction.
