21 Chump Street is a fifteen-minute musical play created by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Based on 21 Jump Street and an episode of This American Life, the play tells the story of Park Vista Community High School senior Justin Laboy as he falls in love with transfer student Naomi Rodriguez. Unbeknownst to Justin, Naomi is actually a twenty-five-year-old cop part of "Operation: D Minus", an operation for police officers to go undercover in high schools and find drug dealers.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Although there have only been two official showings of the musical, it has a full soundtrack. The role of Justin was originated by Anthony Ramos (known for being John Laurens and Phillip Hamilton in Hamilton), and Naomi by singer and actress Lindsay Mendez. The chorus was played by Alex Boniello, Gerard Canonico, and Antwaun Holley. Lin-Manuel himself played the role of a narrator that interacts with the two leads.

All There in the Manual: The students' names aren't mentioned at all in the musical, but they're given as Tevin (Boniello), Derek (Canonico) and Andrew (Holley) in the script.

Blatant Lies: In "One School", Naomi claims to the narrator that she never told Justin she'll think about his request to go to prom, but the audience knows that's exactly what happened in the song before.

Bittersweet Ending: "Operation: D Minus" is a success, as dozens of legitimate illegal dealers are caught and tried for their crimes. Sadly, Justin is one of them (despite not truly being a dealer), and his life is forever ruined by his decision. Naomi laments that she'll never forget Justin and shows remorse for somewhat forcing him to sell to her.

comment
Break the Cutie: Justin is pretty much a picture-perfect example of this. He starts off as a relatively happy straight-A student who just wants to go to prom with a girl he fancies. When the musical ends, he's pleading guilty to a felony and probably waving goodbye to any colleges that might have considered him with a clean record. And to make matters worse, he doesn't even end up with Naomi.
