More about this title

About the Composer: Alan Menken

Alan Menken has shaped American musical theater across four decades, composing scores for Disney animated films and Broadway productions that reach millions of listeners annually. His gift for writing memorable melodies that work equally well in theaters, concert halls, and classrooms has made his music a staple of music education at every level.

Why we love this

This medley captures the darkly comic energy of Little Shop of Horrors in a format that actually works for young singers. Andy Beck's arrangement respects the show's distinctive harmonic color and rhythmic snap while keeping the vocal writing accessible, so your choir spends rehearsal time singing rather than untangling overly complex parts.

What to expect

Campy, playful, and surprisingly sophisticated. The medley weaves together Little Shop's most recognizable moments, from the sinister to the sweetly comedic, creating an experience that feels theatrical without requiring a full production. Singers will feel the show's distinctive harmonic language and the dark humor that makes the story so compelling.

Who it's for

Choirs at the middle school through adult level who want accessible Broadway repertoire with genuine musical and comedic substance. This works equally well for concert programming, festival participation, or a standalone pops concert.

How to get the most out of it

  • The recorded accompaniment locked in the vocal line; use it from the earliest rehearsals to establish the show's comedic timing and tempo stability, especially through the faster passages.
  • Emphasize the rhythmic precision in all sections. Little Shop succeeds through crisp, deliberate articulation, not legit phrasing. Crisp consonants and clipped note endings drive the humor.
  • Build character into the storytelling. This medley spans multiple musical moments from the show, so shape each section's dynamic arc to clarify the emotional shift, even within comedic material.
  • Balance blend carefully in the ensemble moments. The show's orchestration favors transparency, so avoid letting any section overwhelm the others, particularly in harmony-driven passages.

How to use it

Program this alongside other contemporary musical theater selections for a Broadway-themed concert, or pair it with lighter pops fare to inject some theatrical personality into an otherwise traditional choral program. It also works beautifully as a concert closer, leaving audiences energized and smiling.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing syncopated rhythms in a contemporary musical style
  • Maintaining comedic timing and character in ensemble singing
  • Balancing harmonic transparency with choral blend
  • Interpreting show music with attention to theatrical intent
