The first Broadway musical written entirely by a woman, this Tony-nominated revue featured songs and choreography on topics such as tenements, student protests, black power, and feminism. The show earned creator Micki Grant a Grammy Award for Best Score—the first female to be so honored.
See it if you've never seen the show, a wonderful revue--clever, tuneful, insightful--performed beautifully. The material is still, sadly, relevant.

See it if you are interested in musical theatre history, even the more arcane titles; or African-American theatre history
Don't see it if you can't see beyond what dates an older piece to see the parallels with today
