The show has already been booked for a four month run in the Netherlands from September 2011.

The producer is currently working on a six month run in Nairobi and eight other Nations in Africa, to be sponsored by one of the leading telecommunications company that operates in Africa. Plans to showcase the musical on Broadway are also in progress as there are a couple of American investors who are interested in this show.

The show’s strength lies in the pure fact that the stories told by all individual casts are true stories that move the audience to open their minds to all possibilities that the African woman brings to her society. This Musical Theater show brings together 9 different Nations to send a positive message of the so called ‘Dark Continent’.
