The book deals with serious themes (such as hypocrisy, acceptance, forgiveness, racism, revenge and scapegoating), but often punctures the most serious moments with slapstick, surreallism, camp-horror and irony. The show also contains religious themes with [[Bible|biblical]] [[allusion]]s, such as the quoting of [[Psalm 23]] and [[Book of Genesis|Genesis]] 9:4 in scene 9. Act II begins with a religious revival tent meeting featuring a [[faith healer]].
 
The score was written to be played by a five-piece band of guitar, two keyboards, bass and drums, but the original cast album ([[RCA Records]]) contains seven extra instruments ([[cello]], [[flute]], [[clarinet]], [[oboe]], [[French horn|French horn]], [[trumpet]], [[trombone]]). The music covers many styles, from [[Rock music|rock]] to [[Hip hop music|rap]] to horror-movie film score and [[opera]]. The musical was written to be performed by a cast of 10, with six men and four women playing all the roles.
