More about this title

About the Arranger: Mac Huff

Mac Huff has built a reputation as one of the most prolific and musically astute arrangers for choral ensembles across all levels. His work spans concert music, show choir repertoire, and educational collections, each bearing the hallmark of accessible yet sophisticated writing. Huff understands how to balance artistic integrity with the practical realities of rehearsal time and singer capability, which has made his arrangements staples in choirs nationwide.

Why we love this

Huff's arrangement opens a Broadway soundscape to younger or smaller choirs without diluting the theatrical energy. The two-part voicing maintains rhythmic drive and harmonic interest while staying genuinely singable, and the 14-page length suggests substantial musical material rather than a token opener. This feels like a real concert piece, not a novelty.

What to expect

A celebration with momentum and theatrical flair. The arrangement sparkles with the energy of a stage musical while remaining grounded in genuine choral writing that invites singers to invest in the performance.

Who it's for

Middle school through early high school choirs looking for Broadway material that doesn't compromise on musicality. It works equally well for community ensembles, youth choirs, and smaller schools without extensive alto sections.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lean into the rhythmic precision of the accompaniment; let the recorded track anchor your ensemble's confidence rather than fighting against it.
  • Honor the theatrical intent throughout. This is Broadway language, so encourage singers to connect emotionally with the narrative arc, even in a 2-part setting.
  • Check the balance between parts frequently in rehearsal. With only two lines, any intonation wobble or dynamic imbalance becomes audible quickly.

How to use it

Use this as a pops concert anchor or end-of-year finale where you want Broadway pizzazz without venturing into parody. It pairs well with other Mac Huff arrangements or complementary show tunes, creating a cohesive modern musical theater set.

Skills your students will build
