More about this title

About the Composer: Joe Iconis

Joe Iconis is a composer and lyricist whose work spans musical theater, television, and concert music. He has built a reputation for creating contemporary musicals with infectious energy and emotionally resonant storytelling, most notably composing the score for the NBC series "Smash," where "Broadway, Here I Come!" became a standout moment that captured the ambition and determination of performers chasing their dreams.

Why we love this

This piece captures genuine theatrical excitement without requiring elaborate staging or costuming. The rhythmic drive and contemporary harmonic language appeal to singers who want to feel the energy of modern musical theater, and the recorded accompaniment option makes it accessible for groups without full instrumental support.

What to expect

Upbeat and purposeful, with an underlying current of determination and optimism. The song captures the exhilaration of pursuing a dream, built on a rhythmic foundation that keeps the energy moving forward even through the quieter, more introspective moments.

Who it's for

High school and college choirs seeking contemporary repertoire with immediate appeal and genuine theatrical character. Directors programming concert or cabaret-style events will find this piece energizing for both performers and audiences.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock into the steady rhythmic pulse from the opening; this piece thrives on propulsive forward motion rather than flexibility.
  • Balance the lyrical moments in the verses against the driving choruses so the emotional arc reads clearly.
  • Use the recorded accompaniment to lock in entrances and maintain confidence with the harmonic language if rehearsal time is limited.

How to use it

Position this as a statement piece in a concert focused on contemporary theater or as the opening number for a cabaret-style program where energy and confidence set the tone. It works equally well as a finale that leaves audiences energized.

Skills your students will build

  • Rhythmic precision in contemporary pop-influenced harmonic language
  • Balance between driving accompaniment and clear lyrical phrasing
  • Confidence performing contemporary musical theater repertoire
  • Ensemble cohesion in repetitive, rhythm-based textures
