"Broadway is the future of hip hop."
-- MTV hip hop choreographer Shane Sparks
THE MUSIC is different than any other musical out there right now...it mixes modern hip hop/pop production techniques with samples from recordings made during the civil rights movement.
THE LYRICS are about struggle, hope, ambition, anger, injustice, love, and the promise of a new generation. They are heavily influenced by soul, R&B, blues, and especially hip hop.
THE STORY is about inner-city high school kids trying to make sense of the rough world they've grown up in. Some of them want to get out. Some of them want to be heroes on the block. Some of them want to chase fame. And some of them refuse to accept the world as it is, and they're tired of being told that nothing will ever change. They want to change it.
STREET LIGHTS is about a new generation discovering how powerful they are when they stand together.
"BROADWAY IS THE FUTURE OF HIP HOP" -- Shane Sparks
