24. True Tunes: 21 Chump Street

What the heck I gotta do, for you to listen to this episode? This
is my first True Tunes episode where I talk about a musical based
on a true story and go into the background of what actually
happened.


21 Chump Street is a one act musical with a run time of under 15
minutes. It is based on Justin Laboy and his experience as a
student when there was an undercover police operation going on at
his school. Written by Lin Manuel Miranda, you know this is gonna
have bops! It only has 5 songs, go and give them all a listen and
you can even watch the full performance in the below links.
