More about this title

Why we love this

This is a solid choice for singers who need a contemporary musical theater showstopper that sits well for solo recital or audition contexts. The piano/vocal/chords format gives you flexibility to work with an accompanist from the printed score or to transpose and arrange as your program requires.

What to expect

The energy and ambition of the musical theater score from which it comes. This is a song about aspiration and drive, built on melodies that sit naturally in the voice and accompaniment that keeps the momentum moving forward.

Who it's for

Singers preparing audition material, vocalists building recital repertoire, and piano teachers accompanying students in musical theater contexts. This works for intermediate-to-advanced vocalists who are comfortable with contemporary musical theater idiom.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the vocal line clearly above the piano part; the accompaniment should support without overshadowing the text and melody.
  • Mark your chord changes in advance if you plan to work with a guitarist or jazz trio; the chord symbols are your roadmap for that transition.
  • Establish the emotional arc before you sit down with an accompanist; knowing where the song breathes and builds will make rehearsal time efficient.

How to use it

Slot this into an audition set where you need a contemporary uptempo number that shows vocal control and theatrical presence. It also works well in a recital mixing musical theater with art song, giving variety in style and energy.

Skills your students will build

  • performing contemporary musical theater style with idiomatic phrasing
  • coordinate piano accompaniment with vocal line and text expression
  • reading chord symbols for flexible arrangement and transposition
