==Production==
The musical premiered on Broadway at the Mark Hellinger Theatre on March 1, 1978, and closed on September 10, 1978, after 221 performances and 22 previews.
The original production starred Eartha Kitt as Shaleem-La-Lume, William Marshall as Hadji, Gilbert Price as The Mansa of Mali, and Melba Moore as Marsinah. It was directed, choreographed and costume designed by Geoffrey Holder, with sets designed by Tony Straiges. Gerald Bordman noted that the sets and costumes had "a Ziegfeldian opulence." New songs based on African folk music were added to provide "some tonal verisimiltude."〔Bordman, Gerald Martin.
