It is scheduled to open on April 23, 2018, with preview performances beginning March 28, 2018.

The musical’s book is by Colman Domingo, Robert Cary and McAnuff, with songs by Summer as well as Giorgio Moroder, Paul Jabara and others not yet named.

The show is produced by Tommy Mottola and the Dodgers.
