Time Out says

The fabulous Amber Iman, who most recently dazzled in Broadway's short-lived Lempicka, plays a Kenyan musical deity on the prowl at an Afro-jazz nightclub in this original musical conceived and directed by the Public's resident Saheem Ali, with a book by Jocelyn Bioh (Jaja's African Hair Braiding) and songs by the composer and former Late Show bassist Michael Thurber. Iman originated her role—the goddess Marimba, masquerading as a singer named Nadira—in the show's 2022 premiere at Berkeley Rep; her co-stars this time are Austin Scott as a sax pistol who strikes Nadira's fancy, Destinee Rea as his fiancée and J Paul Nicholas as the father who wants him to go into the family business: politics. The choreography is by Darrell Grand Moultrie, and Nick Rashad Burroughs and Arica Jackson play the comic second couple.
