In this, the most deliciously bawdy of Restoration comedies, a licentious London rake has been transformed into a Louisiana libertine—although what Harry Horner wants is still a piece of overripe fruit...or all of them.  The award-winning team of Maltby and Shire (Closer Than Ever, Baby) stir up this delectable gumbo of Caribbean, Creole, and Cajun-inspired culture in a musical retelling set in Antebellum New Orleans. 

Its Red Bull's all-star concert presentation of a new work-in-progress. The upper-class rake Harry Horner begins a campaign for seducing as many respectable ladies as possible and devises a unique and hilarious way to do it. But his scheme gets derailed by the arrival of an inexperienced young "country wife."
