I wonder if the casting of the Muses will be colorblind?

It does say all types welcome...

"Greek Chorus" is a term in theatre that basically describes any group of chorus members. They'll often talk and sing in unison to help accent something that's important on the stage. It doesn't inherently mean this is Hercules. In fact I suspect it's more to do with Captain America and the Avengers musical hinted at in the Hawkeye Disney+ show. Given Hyperion's proximity to Avenger's Campus, and the tell that they're looking for a female with a strong English accent (Peggy Carter), I think it more hints to Cap than Herc.

I also questioned why a possible casting call for Megara needed someone with a strong English accent.

If it was Rogers: The Musical, Disney would have most likely hired Shaiman & Wittman who wrote the song in Hawkeye to write more songs instead of Christopher Lennertz who has no connection to Hakweye or Captain America. I think this might be an Agent Carter stage musical since Lennertz was the score composer for that show and co-wrote the song in its musical episode.
