More about this title

About the Artist: Andrew Lippa

Andrew Lippa is a composer and lyricist whose work spans Broadway, film, and concert music. He earned a Tony Award nomination for his score to The Addams Family, bringing darkly comic sophistication to Lerner and Loewe's original concept. His gift for writing music that balances accessibility with harmonic richness has made him a fixture in contemporary musical theater.

Why we love this

This song captures the macabre charm of The Addams Family while remaining genuinely singable and vocally rewarding. The piano writing is idiomatic without being overwrought, giving accompanists real musical substance to work with. For programs seeking a darkly humorous duet or featured solo with theatrical weight, this delivers both personality and craft.

What to expect

A darkly romantic confessional delivered with the deadpan sincerity of someone professing the deepest devotion while surrounded by cobwebs and gloom. The music carries both tenderness and mischief, inviting performers to mine the gap between Addams family morbidity and genuine emotional vulnerability.

Who it's for

Singers preparing for auditions or recitals who want a contemporary Broadway selection with character and wit. Advanced high school or college voice students seeking material that combines vocal technique with dramatic interpretation. Programs and cabarets looking for a Halloween or Addams Family themed number with legitimate musical substance.

How to get the most out of it

  • Shape the lyric with clarity; the humor lands only when words are articulated and the listener can follow the emotional subtext beneath the comedy.
  • Let the piano part breathe at phrase endings rather than pushing straight through; Lippa's orchestration often includes space that singers can fill with character choices.
  • Explore dynamic contrast between declarations of love and the understated moments; the song's power comes from specificity of feeling, not volume.

How to use it

Perfect for a Halloween concert or Addams Family themed cabaret where you want something beyond parody. Consider pairing it with other contemporary musical theater selections to showcase modern song craft. Solo singers can use this as an audition piece that demonstrates control, characterization, and comfort with comedic material.

Skills your students will build

  • phrasing romantic melody over jazz-influenced harmonic movement
  • balancing comedic intent with vocal legit singing
  • character work and emotional authenticity in contemporary musical theater
  • interpreting a piano part that complements rather than doubles the vocal line
