White has written original music and lyrics, along with his past hits, "Shining Star," "September," "Boogie Wonderland" and "After the Love Has Gone." About the music Maurice Hines said previously in a statement, "The music of Maurice White inspires me. It's an honor for me to be collaborating with him." White said "Working with Maurice Hines has been a blast. He makes my music and lyrics come alive in ways I never would have imagined."
According to a release "Ptah's book, White's music and Hines direction and choreography bring out the emotion, sensitivity and the heart of Hot Feet. Together they weave a Faustian tale about a beautiful young dancer - Kalimba, whose whole life's dreams and ambition are to be a Broadway dancer. Kalimba is cajoled to dance with a pair of magical and enchanted red shoes, when she puts them on they begin to take control of the talented dancer's fate."
The creative team features sets by Jim Noone, costumes by Paul Tazewell, and lights by Clifton Taylor.
