If Romeo and Juliet got the Hamilton treatment...who would play the leads?
Dana L. Davis joins Books on Tap Live to discuss her vividly funny, honest, and charming #ownvoices novel starring a teen taking her shot at a part in Broadway’s hottest new show, a Romeo and Juliet inspired hip-hopera.
In Roman and Jewel, Jerzie Jhames believes she has what it takes, but when mega star, Cinny, snags the lead, Jerzie’s hopes are crushed. Jerzie takes the role of Cinny’s understudy and finds herself falling for the male lead, Zeppelin Reid, a bad idea made worse when she realizes Cinny has designs on him. But when a video of Jerzie and Zepp practicing goes viral and the entire world weighs in on who should play Jewel, Jerzie learns that while the price of fame is high, friendship, family, and love are priceless.
