The songs in the production are influenced by a large range of music, including jazz, gospel, pop and classical music.

Jason Robert Brown is an American musical theatre composer and lyricist, whose music often fuses pop-rock with theatrical lyrics. Brown grew up in the suburbs of New York City studying music and attended the Eastman School of Music and the French Woods Festival of the Performing Arts.
