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 has built a reputation for crafting scores that balance theatrical storytelling with genuine emotional depth, creating music that serves both narrative and character development with equal care.

Lippa's approach to composition privileges clarity of voice and singability. His melodies are designed to land in the room, and his harmonies support rather than overshadow the drama unfolding on stage. For music educators, his work demonstrates how contemporary musical theater can be both accessible and musically substantive.

Why we love this

Lippa writes for the human voice in a way that feels genuinely supportive. The vocal line sits naturally, the accompaniment breathes with the singer, and the emotional arc is crystal clear from rehearsal one. This is the kind of material that lets young singers discover what they're actually capable of without fighting the music.

What to expect

Pulled captures the strange, muted longing of Wednesday Addams with a melody that feels both whimsical and deeply felt. It's playful and darkly emotional at once, asking the singer to inhabit a character caught between two worlds without ever becoming purely comedic or entirely serious.

Who it's for

Singers at the intermediate to early advanced level who want material with real character and theatrical life. It's ideal for performers exploring contemporary musical theater style or building an audition book with songs that showcase both technique and interpretive maturity.

How to get the most out of it

  • Establish the rhythmic foundation early. The accompaniment pattern is your anchor; lock the feel before layering vocal expression on top.
  • Attend to the text as much as the tune. Lippa's lyrics carry the character's voice, and the music will only land if the words feel owned.
  • Shape the phrase contours without losing the song's inherent lightness. This piece can feel heavier than it should if you push too hard against its natural buoyancy.
  • Use the recorded accompaniment as a rehearsal tool to internalize the harmonic language, then work toward singing with live piano to build genuine ensemble awareness.

How to use it

Consider pairing it with other contemporary musical theater selections for a concert focused on songs with character complexity and modern vocal writing. It also works beautifully as an audition piece for students seeking material that demonstrates range of interpretation and comfort with contemporary harmony.

Skills your students will build
