The play premiered Off-Broadway at MCC Theater (2017–2018) and has since inspired hundreds of regional productions, including a UK premiere at the Lyric Hammersmith in London (June 8–July 22, 2023) that was extended due to demand. Bioh has also written and created other notable works such as Nollywood Dreams and Jaja's African Hair Braiding, which premiered on Broadway in 2023.
