The play's breakthrough with tradition is all-encompassing, and the most conspicuous feature is naturally the musical style, as well as the arbitrariness of the actors and the characters' skin color.
The music in the play is mainly hip-hop, interspersed with jazz, rhythm and blues, tinker alley and other styles of songs. Actors from different countries and different skin colors spread the history of several founding fathers through music forms that are more acceptable to young people, such as hip-hop rap.
This is an art about the will and energy of life, an art of polyphony and rhythm that fills all corners of the stage, an art of sensory shaking to drive spiritual resonance, and an art of inclusion, adventure, and shabbiness.
You can talk to your child about these:
1. Ask the child, which event is most interested in in this play?
2. Let your child talk about how it feels to watch for themselves.

The romantic and splendid Faza is mozart in the eyes of the world, and the gloomy and depressed Deza is mozart in Mozart's own eyes.
In the short two-act repertoire, in the singing section that is sometimes super "burning", sometimes sprinkling sugar, and sometimes inserting knives, the screenwriter shows a Mozart who is very different from the image of "Zhengshi", quite personal and emotional.
And it wasn't until the end that we knew the title "Mozart!" This exclamation point is a celebration and regret for the life of this ill-fated and talented genius musician.
