The musical opened in out of town tryouts in Toronto, where, as noted by Ken Mandelbaum "The reviews were promising",[1] and then ran in Boston. Kwamina premiered on Broadway at the 54th Street Theatre on October 23, 1961 and closed on November 18, 1961 after 32 performances. It starred Sally Ann Howes, Terry Carter, Robert Guillaume, and Brock Peters, and was directed by Robert Lewis and choreographed by Agnes de Mille. Mandelbaum noted that the Broadway reviews were "mixed but mostly negative", but did praise de Mille, her dancers, and the set.
The original cast album was recorded for Capitol Records on Monday, November 20, 1961 following the Saturday close two days earlier. (Wiki)
