My school is going to be performing this during the spring and I was thinking of auditioning. Only before I do that I want to do a bit of reserch on the play. Also is it mainly a dancing or singing musical?

If you mean "Purlie," it's got music by Gary Geld, lyrics by Peter Udell, a and book by Ossie Davis, Udell, and Philip Rose, based on Davis's play "Purlie Victorious." Primarily a "singing" musical, but there are a couple of production numbers.
Here's a plot description from IMDb: "In the early days of the civil rights movement, a Southern plantation owner holds his sharecroppers in virtual slavery. Purlie comes home as a preacher who will shake things up and bring freedom to his people."

Get a copy from your school library, or Public library.
