The play featured the mythical Chinese/Mongol city of Xanadu, which is also a color associated with the Yuan dynasty. The score was written by a songwriting team, William P. Perry and William S. Wheeling, both of whom had been drawn into the Armed Forces shortly after their graduation from Harvard University. The cast and other members of the creative team were transferred from military units all over the world, and in spite of frequent cast changes as draftees were returned home, the show ran for five years and played both civilian and military theatres throughout Europe.
