I asked Keith Edwards about it and he said his father passed away before completing the musical, then he (Keith) and his wife finished it, but it hasn't been produced. He may comment further.

From Keith's bio:

“Ramses—There’s No Room in My Tomb!”—a musical comedy started by his father, Sherman Edwards (1776) and completed by Edwards (music and lyrics) and his wife Elizabeth (book and lyrics) about the great Ramses II during the final year of his life and the worries over his successor, ensuring his legacy and preparing for the afterlife."

I hope the Edwards Egypt musical sees the light of day at some point.

I had not realized Sherman Edwards had composed so many, and such diverse, hit pop records. Broken-Hearted Melody and Johnny Get Angry(!) with lyricist Hal David, and Wonderful Wonderful and See You In September with others are among the most successful.
