More about this title

About the Creator

Cy Coleman composed the original Little Me score in 1964, crafting a witty, jazz-inflected show tune style that became a hallmark of mid-century Broadway. His melodic gift for character songs and dance numbers made him one of the era's most recorded composers; decades later, this 2016 revival brought fresh attention to his sophisticated harmonic language and rhythmic invention.

Carolyn Leigh wrote the lyrics for the original production, creating sharp, playful lyrics that matched Coleman's musical cleverness. When Little Me returned to Broadway fifty years after its debut, the revival's arrangements preserved Leigh's wit while updating the sound for contemporary ears, making these selections accessible to modern singers and pianists.

Why we love this

This collection captures the comedic brilliance and theatrical flair that made the 2016 revival a standout Broadway event. The song selection spans intimate character moments and showstopping numbers, giving vocalists and pianists genuine variety in both style and emotional range.

What to expect

Cheeky and joyful, with the irreverent energy of a show that refuses to take itself too seriously. These songs dance between sweetness and satire, creating moments of genuine vulnerability alongside laugh-out-loud theatrical comedy.

Who it's for

Vocalists preparing auditions or recital material from this revival, and pianists who accompany musical theater singers. This book is also valuable for music directors building a cabaret program or classroom performers exploring contemporary Broadway repertoire.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the comedic timing in songs like "Dimples" and "Poor Little Hollywood Star" with clear diction; let the piano lock in the rhythmic pocket so the vocalist can play with the humor.
  • Study the vocal range shifts across these selections. Some songs sit high and bright, while others drop into a more conversational register. Mark your passaggio points and plan your breath support accordingly.
  • Use the accompaniment to establish character. The piano writing often suggests era, mood, and comedic intent. Honor those choices rather than rushing through them.

How to use it

Extract individual songs for audition books, or assemble a mini-revue using several selections to showcase range and comedic chops. This material works beautifully in cabaret settings or as supplementary repertoire in a Broadway survey course.

Skills your students will build
