More about this title

About the Composer: Jacques Levy

Jacques Levy was a lyricist and composer whose work shaped musical theatre in the 1980s. Beyond his contributions to Fame: The Musical, Levy collaborated with Stephen Sondheim and created original scores that demonstrated a gift for character-driven storytelling and accessible melody. His music balances theatrical expressiveness with singability, making his songs particularly valuable for singers developing their audition repertoire.

Why we love this

This collection assembles authentic transcriptions in original keys from two centuries of Broadway storytelling, removing the guesswork from audition preparation. The inclusion of historical context, audition tips, and 16-bar cut suggestions transforms a song book into a teaching tool that meets singers where they are, whether they're preparing for their first audition or refining their professional toolkit.

What to expect

Opening this book places you in conversation with decades of Broadway craftsmanship. From the wit of Chicago to the intimacy of Sondheim, these songs capture the precise moments when characters reveal themselves, and singing them means claiming that vulnerability and specificity as your own.

Who it's for

Singers preparing audition material, voice teachers building repertoire libraries, and performers seeking authoritative transcriptions of classic Broadway songs. This collection serves both the student discovering musical theatre and the professional refining their song selection strategy.

How to get the most out of it

  • Study the historical and contextual notes provided for each song; understanding the character's journey elevates your interpretation beyond surface-level performance.
  • Reference the suggested 16-bar cuts to practice shorter versions suitable for time-limited auditions while maintaining the song's dramatic arc.
  • Transpose cautiously if needed, but recognize that these original keys were chosen by the composers for specific vocal and theatrical reasons; try the written key first.

How to use it

Use this as the foundation for a voice studio's audition coaching curriculum, or select individual songs to build concert programs that showcase different eras and character types. Pair selections from this collection with contemporary material to demonstrate a singer's range and theatrical intelligence.

Skills your students will build

  • Interpreting character motivation from lyrical content and musical phrasing
  • Singing legit Broadway style with appropriate diction and vocal placement
  • Understanding song structure and dramatic arc for audition editing
  • Navigating original keys and transposition decisions thoughtfully
  • Connecting historical context to performance choices
