"Eubie!" is a revue featuring the music of Eubie Blake, with lyrics by Noble Sissle, Andy Razaf, Johnny Brandon, F.E. Miller, and Jim Europe. The theater was designed to be reminiscent of the 20's ("New York Times", Walter Kerr, November 6, 1978 mini-review). Many of the songs were from the Blake-Sissle 1921 show "Shuffle Along." Among the songs were "Charleston Rag", "Daddy", "My Handyman Ain't Handy No More", "Gee, I Wish I Had Someone to Rock Me in the Cradle of Love", and "There's a Million Little Cupids in the Sky" (from the Blake-Sissle show "The Chocolate Dandies"). ["Newsweek", "Wild About Eubie", Jack Kroll, October 2, 1978]

After seven previews, the Broadway production, conceived and directed by Julianne Boyd and choreographed by Billy Wilson and Henry LeTang, opened on September 20, 1978 at the Ambassador Theatre, where it ran for 439 performances. The cast included Alaina Reed, Lynnie Godfrey, and the Hines brothers, Gregory and Maurice. An original cast recording was released in 1979, but has not been released on CD.
