Wait And See (from Fangirls) (arr. Alice Chance and Zara Stanton): Piano Vocal

This arrangement captures the immediacy and emotional directness that makes Fangirls resonate with young audiences. The piano part sits comfortably for singers who want to accompany themselves while maintaining the song's theatrical punch, making it ideal for recitals, auditions, or ensemble programming where character and vulnerability matter more than instrumental spectacle.

Immediate and honest. The arrangement strips away production bells and puts the focus squarely on voice and accompaniment, creating an intimate space where the song's emotional core can breathe. It feels contemporary without sacrificing the theatrical truth that Blake builds into her melodies.

Singers preparing audition material, ensemble pieces for educational theater productions, or vocalists building contemporary musical theater repertoire. This works equally well for solo performers and for inclusion in concert settings that feature modern Broadway work.

• Balance the vocal line against the piano accompaniment so the lyrics land clearly; the arrangement's simplicity demands precision in diction.
• Explore the emotional arc between verses and any key moments that shift the song's energy; Blake's songs often reward attention to subtext and internal motivation.
• Consider tempo flexibility around phrase endings to deepen the connection with listeners; this piece responds well to slight rubato that honors the character's emotional journey.

Pair this with other contemporary musical theater selections to showcase the range of voices writing for the stage today. It works as a solo feature, in a medley of songs from Fangirls, or as part of a broader showcase of British musical theater.
