The diversity of the cast is very different than that of other musicals. It includes only people of color (POC) for main roles (The only roles for non-POC are King George and the ensemble). This is important because it gives POC a musical where they can see people who look like them, and gives them a chance to have more representation in theatre and on broadway. The music is different in that it combines many different styles, such as ballads, raps, love songs, and somewhat jazzy music too.
<h2><em>Literature, in its broadest sense, is any written work. Etymologically, the term derives from Latin litaritura/litteratura “writing formed with letters,” although some definitions include spoken or sung texts. More restrictively, it is writing that possesses literary merit.</em></h2><h2><em>Literature allows a person to step back in time and learn about life on Earth from the ones who walked before us. We can gather a better understanding of culture and have a greater appreciation of them. We learn through the ways history is recorded, in the forms of manuscripts and through speech itself</em></h2>
