Directed by Vincent Marini with choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler the cast starred Jarrod Emick and Lauren Kennedy.

[1] Wildhorn had connections with the theatre through Linda Eder's concerts, amongst other engagements including the early renditions of the Jekyll & Hyde: Resurrection tour.

"[2] Murphy titled the show Waiting For The Moon, as director Vincent Marini didn't believe that Scott & Zelda sounded right for it.

The musical was renamed Zelda: An American Love Story and played at the Flat Rock Playhouse (North Carolina) where Marini had become artistic director.

The musical attempted to show the almost tragic lifestyle of the famed couple — often trying to live up to higher standards ("Always," "Paris," "Back on Top," "Something Enchanted," etc.).

Their lifestyle was considered reckless ("Money to Burn"), with Zelda thought to be particularly bizarre for the time period in which she lived (1925), often doing things most women would not think of ("What about Me?").

In a fairytale vision, she sees Scott taking her to the dance, and they kiss beneath the Moon as the curtain closes.

Lauren Kennedy, the original Zelda, has, however, released the song "Easy" on her latest solo album, entitled Now and Here.
