The show was set on a street corner located under the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City , where five street-corner singers tell a sidewalk fairy tale about a young girl who comes to Brooklyn (which also happens to be her name) to use her newfound fame to try and find her father. The musical's book, music, and lyrics were all written by Mark Schoenfeld and Barri McPherson . Jeff Calhoun was the director. The original cast consisted of Eden Espinosa as the leading role (Brooklyn), Kevin Anderson as her father (Taylor Collins), Cleavant Derricks as the "Streetsinger", Karen Olivo as Brooklyn's mother (Faith), and Ramona Keller as the story's antagonist (Paradice). The cast also starred Manoel Felciano, Caren Lyn Manuel, Julie Reiber, Horace V. Rogers, and Haneefah Wood.
