About the Arranger: Alex Lacamoire

Alex Lacamoire has established himself as one of contemporary musical theater's most skilled arrangers and orchestrators. His work on major Broadway productions demonstrates a keen ear for translating theatrical scores into accessible yet musically sophisticated arrangements for diverse performance contexts.

Why we love this

Lacamoire's arrangement captures the intimate character of this "Working" number while keeping the vocal line singable and the piano part manageable for rehearsal and performance. The chord symbols give singers and accompanying pianists the flexibility to adjust voicings or add instrumental support, making it genuinely useful whether you're in a full production or a concert setting.

What to expect

Grounded and honest. The song carries the working-day vernacular that defines "Working," with harmonic support that feels contemporary yet rooted in musical theater tradition. It invites you to inhabit a character and tell their story with directness.

Who it's for

This arrangement serves singers preparing for auditions, concert recitals, or full staged productions of "Working." Pianists accompanying vocalists will also find clear chord guidance and a part that sits comfortably under the voice.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the vocal line so the storytelling clarity comes through; this song relies on conversational delivery as much as musical beauty.
  • Use the chord symbols to guide your harmonic interpretation rather than treating them as rigid voicings. Adjust the comping texture to match the intimate or driving quality you want in a given moment.
  • Pay attention to the rhythmic relationship between voice and piano, especially in passages where the accompaniment might anticipate or lag behind the vocal phrases for dramatic effect.

How to use it

Include this in a musical theater recital or as part of a concert celebrating Sondheim's "Working." It pairs well with other character songs from the show and stands effectively in a program of contemporary musical theater repertoire.
