More about this title
About the Composer: Cinco Paul
Cinco Paul has established himself as a composer and lyricist with a sharp ear for comedic timing and infectious melodies. His work on the Apple TV+ musical comedy "Schmigadoon!" showcases his ability to craft songs that feel both authentically theatrical and deliberately absurd, drawing on the traditions of classic movie musicals while subverting audience expectations.
Why we love this
Mac Huff's arrangement captures the deliberate earnestness that makes this number land its comedy. The absurdity of the lyrics paired with genuinely appealing harmonies creates the perfect vehicle for singers who understand that the funniest performances are the ones delivered with complete sincerity.
What to expect
This number radiates the bright, theatrical energy of classic Hollywood musicals filtered through a modern comedic sensibility. It's charming and ridiculous simultaneously, with melodies that stick and lyrics that earn genuine laughs when performed with musical integrity.
Who it's for
Choirs looking to add contemporary humor to their concert programming will find this accessible without being gimmicky. It works equally well for high school and college ensembles and sits comfortably with a mixed ability cast.
How to get the most out of it
- Resist the urge to telegraph the humor through exaggeration. Let the lyrics do the comedic work while your singers maintain impeccable musical commitment.
- Balance the ensemble so that the melody sits cleanly on top without being drowned out by the accompaniment or harmonic texture.
- Land every word with clarity. Diction becomes essential when the audience needs to catch the absurdist humor of the lyrics.
How to use it
Pair this with other modern musical theater selections to show the range of contemporary songwriting, or program it as a palate cleanser between weightier repertoire. It lands especially well as a concert closer or a spirit raiser that reminds audiences why choral music can be purely joyful.
Skills your students will build
- Sustaining phrase lines through longer melodic passages
- Balancing diction clarity with legit vowel formation
- Ensemble unity and intonation across blended harmony
- Interpreting comedic intent without sacrificing musical legitimacy
