More about this title
About the Composer: Marc Shaiman
Marc Shaiman has composed music for Broadway productions, films, and television since the 1980s, bringing theatrical flair and accessibility to every project. His work across musical theatre and film scores demonstrates a gift for creating melodies that lodge themselves in audiences' minds while remaining singable and dramatically effective.
Why we love this
This opening number arrives ready to energize a concert or competition, with a rhythmic drive and character-driven swagger that audiences recognize instantly. The arrangement by Eric Van Cleave captures the theatrical punch of the original while remaining manageable for high school and community choirs, making it an excellent showcase for groups who thrive on contemporary Broadway energy.
What to expect
Vibrant, witty, and unapologetically theatrical. The piece radiates the confident, playful energy of its source material, moving with rhythmic momentum and featuring the kind of memorable melody that gets stuck in your head long after the final chord.
Who it's for
High school and community choirs seeking contemporary repertoire with theatrical appeal and performance visibility. Directors building programs around Broadway material or looking for a show-stopping opener that audiences know and love.
How to get the most out of it
- Treat the recorded accompaniment as a solid groove foundation, then lock your rhythm section (bass and drums) in tightly during rehearsal so the choir sits confidently over it.
- Pay attention to the articulation markings and rhythmic precision in the pop-influenced sections; crisp attacks on eighth-note figures will sharpen the overall punch.
- If you're staging choreography, rehearse the vocal lines first until they're rock-solid, then layer movement once singers can perform without concentration breaks.
- Balance the energy of ensemble sections with clarity on any solo or small-group passages so individual voices cut through the arrangement.
How to use it
Program this as a concert or competition opener to grab attention immediately, or use it within a Broadway-themed set to anchor your show with a song audiences recognize. Its 16 pages and recorded accompaniment availability make it practical for spring concerts and special performances.
Skills your students will build
- Rhythmic precision in syncopated, pop-influenced figures
- Sustaining ensemble blend and balance in full four-part harmony
- Coordination of vocal and choreographic timing
- Performance confidence with recorded accompaniment
