More about this title

About the Composer: Andrew Lippa

Andrew Lippa is a composer and lyricist who has established himself as a voice in contemporary musical theater, particularly known for his ability to blend humor with genuine emotional depth. His work on The Addams Family demonstrates his gift for capturing the idiosyncratic charm of beloved characters while crafting music that serves both comedy and character development.

Why we love this

The contrast between Wednesday's typically morbid personality and her suddenly saccharine thoughts creates genuine comedic gold that audiences love instantly. Lippa and Lojeski have constructed an arrangement that lets your singers play the humor fully while maintaining musical integrity, making it an audience favorite that also teaches your ensemble how to execute comedy through music.

What to expect

Infectious and surreal. One moment you're in Wednesday's familiar gothic world, and the next you're drowning in puppies, unicorns, and lollipops. The music captures that whiplash of an emotionally guarded person suddenly overwhelmed by sappy, conventional feelings.

Who it's for

Choirs programming Broadway concerts, educational theater programs, or mixed ensembles looking for accessible contemporary material that entertains audiences and singers alike. The Combo voicing works well for groups with flexible instrumentation and singers comfortable with contemporary musical theater style.

How to get the most out of it

  • Commit completely to the tonal shift. The switch from Wednesday's normal darkness to her giddy, innocent reverie only lands if your singers embrace the extreme contrast rather than winking at it.
  • Balance the ensemble singing with clarity on the solo passages so the personality of each voice comes through even in the fuller sections.
  • Let the sweetness of the orchestration guide your interpretation. The accompaniment itself carries much of the comedic irony, so trust it rather than overselling the performance.

How to use it

Pair this with other contemporary Broadway selections to anchor a 21st-century musical theater set, or use it as a lighter palate cleanser alongside more traditional standards. It works particularly well in a program that showcases humor and character work, especially in educational contexts where audiences enjoy seeing singers tackle comedy with sophistication.

Skills your students will build

  • Managing extreme dynamic and tonal contrasts within a single piece
  • Executing contemporary musical theater style and comedic timing
  • Balancing ensemble blend with individual character voice
  • Responding to satirical text and elevated silliness with musical maturity
