More about this title

About the Composer: Marc Shaiman

Marc Shaiman has established himself as one of Broadway's most versatile and prolific composers, bringing wit, accessibility, and theatrical flair to shows spanning comedy, drama, and family entertainment. His work for stage and screen demonstrates a gift for crafting melodies that stick with audiences while serving the emotional arc of a scene, making his music equally at home in a packed theatre or a rehearsal room.

Why we love this

This single song gives you an audition-ready excerpt from a show that teen singers genuinely connect with, complete with historical context and a 16-bar cut option. The vocal line sits comfortably for developing singers while the accompaniment recording lets you rehearse without requiring a pianist's constant availability.

What to expect

Bright and energetic, with the comedic warmth and self-aware charm that defines modern musical theatre at its best. The song captures the exhilaration of new social situations with a melody that feels effortless and a text that invites personality without requiring theatrical gymnastics.

Who it's for

Teen singers preparing auditions or concert performances who need professionally vetted musical theatre repertoire at an appropriate range and technical level. Directors building teen musical theatre programs will find this single song useful for casting conversations or as a springboard to explore the full anthology.

How to get the most out of it

  • Anchor the character work to the lyrical content. The playfulness of 'new girl' energy should come through in your vocal choices without oversinging the phrases.
  • Balance legibility of the text with musicality. Every syllable matters in a comedic show tune, so clarity of diction serves the storytelling.
  • Use the accompaniment track to lock the tempo and phrasing, then gradually reduce your reliance on it so the song feels spontaneous rather than locked in.

How to use it

Slot this into a concert of contemporary musical theatre, or use it as a competition or audition selection where the source material and era matter to your programming. The historical note included will help audiences understand the show's context and cultural moment.

Skills your students will build

  • Interpreting comedic subtext in musical theatre lyrics
  • Navigating the vocal demands of contemporary Broadway style
  • Connecting text clarity to character expression
  • Working with recorded accompaniment as a rehearsal tool
