It's Possible (In McElligot's Pool): Choral Octavo SoundTrax CD

Andy Beck's arrangement captures the infectious energy of the Broadway original while tailoring it for young singers, keeping the harmonic sophistication and melodic clarity that make Flaherty's writing so engaging. This gives choirs a chance to perform Broadway-quality material that students recognize and genuinely want to sing.

Whimsical and buoyant, with the bounce of a children's story set to music that sparkles. The piece carries the warmth of imagination unfolding, as if the pool itself might contain untold possibilities just beneath the surface.

Young to changing choirs that benefit from repertoire with immediate appeal and Broadway pedigree. This works especially well for performers who respond to Seussian humor and theatrical context.

• Balance the melody line across your ensemble so Seuss's words land clearly; good diction on the syllabic passages keeps the charm intact.
• Use the recorded accompaniment to lock in tempo and harmonic precision, especially helpful if your ensemble is new to this Broadway idiom.
• Lean into the playful character of the story. The pool imagery should feel inviting and imaginative, not heavy or dramatic.

Program this alongside other family-friendly or school-community concert contexts where younger audiences appreciate accessible storytelling set to quality music. It works as both a standalone feature and as part of a Broadway or Seuss-themed concert.

• Singing with clear diction in a text-driven, rhythmically active melody
• Responding to theatrical character and emotional storytelling through music
• Blending harmonies in an accessible Broadway-style arrangement
