The show made its off-broady debut at the Public Theater back in February 2015, so it's been around for a while. It does a great job of incorporating hip-hop, rhythm and blues, pop music, soul music, traditional-style show tunes and color-conscious casting of non-white actors as the Founding Fathers and other historical figures to make it unique.
