Why we love this

This arrangement captures the theatrical urgency and vocal vulnerability that made Jeremy Jordan's performance on SMASH so compelling. The piano part supports rather than overshadows the singer, allowing the character's ambition and emotion to remain front and center while the accompaniment provides shape and energy. Singers performing audition material or working on contemporary musical theatre repertoire will find this both musically rewarding and immediately singable.

What to expect

The piece radiates theatrical ambition and youthful determination. It moves with energy and purpose, carrying the unmistakable character voice of someone standing at the threshold of their dream, singing with both hope and urgency.

Who it's for

This arrangement serves singers preparing contemporary musical theatre auditions, pianists accompanying singers in lessons or rehearsals, and guitarists arranging the song for performance. Intermediate to advanced vocalists and accompanists will find the material accessible yet musically substantial.

How to get the most out of it

  • Attend to the lyrical phrasing in the vocal line; let the natural speech rhythm of the text guide your interpretation rather than forcing it into rigid metric patterns.
  • Balance the piano accompaniment so that it propels the song forward without drowning out the vocal melody, particularly in moments where the voice and piano move together.
  • Explore dynamic contrast within the piece to reveal the character's emotional arc; the ambition in the lyrics should feel earned, not shouted.
  • Use the chord symbols to understand the harmonic language and inform your interpretive choices, especially in passages where the harmony shifts unexpectedly.

How to use it

Pair this with other contemporary musical theatre selections in a recital or concert that showcases modern writing for singers. It works particularly well in an audition coaching setting or in a studio recital highlighting character songs with emotional depth.
