I Love A Broadway Show: SATB Choral Octavo

Leavitt captures the infectious energy of Broadway without requiring your singers to navigate baroque counterpoint or punishing ranges. The piece reads as celebratory and fun, which means your choir will want to sing it, and your audience will leave the concert smiling.

Pure Broadway joy wrapped in a neat choral package. The piece radiates affection for the musical theater form itself, with singable lines and harmonic choices that support the vocal parts rather than test them.

Community choirs, school show choirs, and any ensemble looking for concert material that lands with genuine warmth and humor. This works equally well for experienced singers and newer musicians who want to feel the joy of singing Broadway without struggling through the chart.

• Lean into the rhythmic vitality of the text. These lyrics move quickly and naturally, so resist the urge to drag or oversustain.
• Balance the parts so the melody lives clearly in whichever voice carries it at any given moment. Leavitt's writing often distributes the tune across the ensemble.
• Record a quick run-through early in your rehearsal process. Singers hear themselves differently in the ensemble and will self-correct balance issues once they know what they should sound like.

Program this as a closing number for a pop or light classics concert, or use it as a companion piece if you're already performing a longer Broadway or musical theater work. Its upbeat character makes it perfect for family-friendly concerts and spring shows.

• Phrasing in popular music idiom
• Balancing multiple melodic ideas within a section
• Diction clarity in faster text
• Part independence in homophonic writing
