More about this title
About the Composer: Cy Coleman
Cy Coleman (1929-2004) composed some of Broadway's most enduring melodies, with a gift for writing tunes that lodge themselves in the listener's mind. His scores for Wildcat, Sweet Charity, and On the Twentieth Century showcase a composer equally fluent in jazz harmonies and theatrical charm, qualities that made his work accessible to both sophisticated audiences and popular listeners.
Why we love this
Carl Strommen captures the infectious energy and theatrical wit of Coleman's original without overwhelming singers who are still building their choral skills. This arrangement delivers the swagger of a Broadway number while staying performance-ready for Grade 3 ensembles, making it a genuine crowd pleaser that doesn't sacrifice musicality.
What to expect
Brash, confident, and celebratory. The piece bounces with optimism and playful swagger, inviting singers to embrace the theatrical spirit of the original without pretension. There's an infectious quality to the writing that makes performers and listeners alike want to smile.
Who it's for
Men's choruses at the intermediate level, high school show choirs, and community male voice ensembles who want accessible Broadway repertoire with genuine theatrical character. Directors seeking a piece that engages singers with strong melodic material and allows for interpretive freedom will find this arrangement delivers on both counts.
How to get the most out of it
- Shape the melodic phrases with clear dynamic intention; the style invites singers to perform with personality rather than blend into a uniform block of sound.
- Lock in the rhythmic drive early in rehearsal. The piece's charm depends on confident, crisp articulation across all four parts.
- Balance the lower voices carefully so the harmonic foundation supports rather than obscures the top line, especially in sections where tenors carry the lead.
- Let the accompaniment tempo guide your singers; resist the urge to rush the comedic moments, which land best when they have breathing room.
How to use it
Pair this with lighter contemporary choral fare or other Broadway selections to build a show-focused concert set, or use it as an uplifting closer that sends the audience out energized. The moderate difficulty and crowd-friendly appeal make it ideal for late-season performances when singers have built confidence with more foundational repertoire.
