`Jack' is the brainchild of gifted city-based pianist Pradyumna Manot, who has accompanied famous musicians like Pandit Visvamohan Bhatt as the latter played his Mohanveena. Manot is also part of the famous band, Saturday Night Blues, and has interest in Latin jazz.

The play is being directed by Amar Daing, who is well known in the theatre circuit of the city and has also staged plays abroad and the script is written by Chaitanya Manot. There are at least 11 songs in the musical and the choreography has been done by Shruti Mishra.

"We have adopted new techniques in this musical -- the way the stage movements have been designed, the effect of the rotating camera and the special light and sound effects have not been tried out before," promises Pradyumna. He says this musical will inspire many others in the future and soon musicals will become a genre that the city will look forward to every season.
