Directed by Vivian Matalon with musical staging and dances by Danny Daniels, it featured Hinton Battle, Samuel E. Wright, Hattie Winston, Martine Allard, and Alfonso Ribeiro as Willie. In 1984 Ribeiro's 10-year-old understudy, Savion Glover, took over the title role. Reviews were mixed. Frank Rich, in his review for ''The New York Times'' praised the choreography and many actors' performances but saw the plot as "earnest () plodding" and the music forgettable.〔Rich, Frank.
