few of the actors were people of color.​

Answer 1

few of the actors were people of color.​

Step-by-step explanation:

The author of the text reveals that the musical "West Side Story" was extremely innovative, which justifies its success and influences all these years.

According to the author "West Side Story", just as "Romeu and Juliet" showed the forbidden love of two young people who were part of two different social groups (white and Latin), the plot unfolded as a modern-day turf war, introducing serious issues like gang violence and ethnic prejudice on Broadway. In addition, fast and efficient choreography and language deliberately incorporated the physicality and vernacular of street life.

However, the musical was not innovative in hiring dark-skinned actors.
