More about this title

About the Composer: Frank Wildhorn & Leslie Bricusse

Frank Wildhorn is a prolific composer of musical theater whose works have graced Broadway stages and regional theaters across North America. His collaborations with lyricist Leslie Bricusse produced some of the most memorable scores of the 1990s and beyond, with Jekyll & Hyde standing as a showcase for Wildhorn's gift for writing deeply emotional ballads that anchor a show's dramatic arc.

Bricusse's career spans decades of songwriting for theater and film, bringing a lyricist's precision to character moments that demand both specificity and universality. Together, Wildhorn and Bricusse created music that serves the story while offering singers material that showcases vocal control and interpretive depth.

Why we love this

This is a showstopper that works equally well in concert or recital settings because it doesn't depend on theatrical spectacle to land emotionally. The melody sits beautifully for voices, the harmonic language is rich without being overly complex, and the 2013 revival version captures everything the song needed to be without excess ornamentation.

What to expect

Tender and searching, with moments of ache beneath the surface beauty. The song unfolds like a conversation where someone is finally being truly seen, each musical phrase inviting the listener closer.

Who it's for

Solo singers preparing audition material or recital programs will find a piece that demands vocal maturity and emotional honesty. Voice teachers can use it to develop legit soprano or tenor technique alongside interpretive skills, and theater programs can feature it as a concert selection that connects audiences to character and story.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the vocal line against the piano accompaniment by practicing dynamics separately; the song builds gradually, and rushing the crescendo weakens its impact.
  • Find the specific emotional subtext of each phrase rather than singing it generically; this is a song about recognition and connection, not just a pretty tune.
  • Attend to the harmonic shifts in the bridge; they signal a shift in vulnerability, and your interpretive choices should honor that architecture.
  • Use the recorded accompaniment as a learning tool first, then work toward independence so your phrasing can breathe naturally within the tempo.

How to use it

Include this in a Broadway showcase or musical theater concert where it can stand alone as a moment of genuine quiet amid more energetic selections. It also serves well in an evening of legit vocal repertoire spanning musical theater and classical traditions, giving audiences a bridge between genres.

Skills your students will build

  • Legit soprano or tenor technique with sustained phrases requiring breath management
  • Dynamic control across a wide range (piano to forte to pianissimo)
  • Harmonic awareness through recognition of key relationships and chord changes
  • Interpretive phrasing that honors both melodic shape and lyrical meaning
  • Vocal independence from piano accompaniment
