The show's creators considered more than 700 songs from 50 years of Canadian rock, pop, folk, country and traditional music before editing that list down to a more workable 200. In the end the show featured some 75 songs from artists as diverse as Bachman Turner Overdrive, Ron Hynes, Buffy St. Marie, Dr. Music, Mandala and The Rankins. By the end of its second season at the festival in 2006 it had sold more than $1. 2 million worth of tickets to become the second most successful musical in the festival's 40-plus year history, second only to Anne of Green Gables which has been playing since 1965. Three of the show's creators, Gallant, Lynch and Stinson, are currently collaborating on another musical property for the stage and have two others in waiting.
