Question

Thomas Jefferson only appears in Act II, having missed the whole first part being in France. While everyone is rapping, Jefferson sings a jazz song. (Jazz started around 1895 and Rap started in the 1970s).
What effect does it create to give this character a song that’s from an “older” musical style? Do you think it adds to the story? WHY or WHY NOT?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

In my opinion I believe that Lin did this because it takes place in the 1800s.

I think it does add to the story because Thomas does actually miss everything in Act II. But, I also think Lin did this because he wanted to give the audience something to get excited about.
