More about this title

About the Artist: Pasek & Paul

Benj Pasek and Justin Paul have become central figures in contemporary musical theater, earning Tony Awards and Academy Award nominations for their work on Dear Evan Hansen and The Greatest Showman. Their songwriting balances emotional directness with melodic sophistication, creating music that resonates across both theater and film audiences. In educational settings, their catalog offers accessible yet substantive material that connects students to current musical theater practice.

Why we love this

This arrangement captures the intimate vulnerability of the original while remaining pianistically manageable for intermediate players. The straightforward harmonic language and clear melodic line make it ideal for students who want to perform contemporary musical theater without wrestling with complex accompaniment patterns, and it's the kind of piece that sounds complete even when played solo.

What to expect

The piece unfolds with quiet introspection, building emotional presence through simplicity rather than complexity. There's an underlying current of uncertainty in the harmonic movement that mirrors the character's internal conflict, creating a listening experience that feels both intimate and deeply honest.

Who it's for

Intermediate pianists seeking contemporary material that bridges pop sensibility and musical theater craft. This arrangement works well for solo recitals, student showcases, or as a gateway into Pasek and Paul's larger catalog for players who want modern touchstones.

How to get the most out of it

  • Honor the song's conversational quality by shaping phrases as if speaking directly to a listener; resist the urge to rush through the quieter moments.
  • Let the left hand provide gentle support rather than rhythmic drive; this piece breathes best when the accompaniment stays understated and the melody remains the focal point.
  • Pay attention to dynamic contrast between verse and chorus sections; even subtle shifts from mezzo-piano to mezzo-forte will make structural points clear.

How to use it

Include this on a recital exploring contemporary musical theater, or use it as a conversation starter about how Broadway music has evolved over the past decade. It pairs naturally with other Pasek and Paul material or with accessible songs from recent musicals, giving students context for where popular music intersects with theatrical composition.

Skills your students will build

  • Interpreting contemporary harmonic language in a musical theater context
  • Balancing melodic expression with restrained accompaniment
  • Reading and performing music notation for piano arrangements of vocal music
  • Shaping phrase architecture in pop-influenced melodies
