The Broadway show was in workshop in the late 70s but they were never able to get it together. DSB was on the shortlist to star and there was publicity suggesting she would star in the show. Secretly, I think the producers wanted a bigger name and that's why Donna Summer -- who had musical theatre experience -- was also wooed. Diana Ross always wanted to star in a motion picture about Josephine. Unfortunately, none of them were able to play her.
