More about this title

About the Composer: Richard Adler

Richard Adler composed the music for some of Broadway's most enduring musicals during the 1950s, a period when theatregoers embraced tuneful, accessible scores that became standards. Working as a composer and lyricist (often in partnership with Jerry Ross), Adler brought a gift for memorable melody and theatrical sophistication to shows like "Damn Yankees" and "The Pajama Game," both of which earned Tony Awards. His music continues to anchor audition repertoire and recital programs decades later, prized for its singability and emotional directness.

Why we love this

This single song appears in a comprehensive, authoritative collection that treats Broadway repertoire with scholarly care. Singers get authentic transcriptions in original keys alongside the kind of practical audition guidance (16-bar cuts, contextual notes) that makes real preparation possible, whether for a first audition or a polished recital performance.

What to expect

Adler's melody carries Lola's confidence and allure with a mid-century Broadway sophistication. The song moves with swinging elegance, balancing rhythmic snap with moments of genuine vocal warmth, all of which requires singers to embody both star quality and genuine emotional investment.

Who it's for

Singers preparing for auditions or recitals in Broadway or musical theatre contexts will find this collection invaluable. Whether you are a student building your audition book or a working vocalist maintaining a polished repertoire, the authentic transcriptions and detailed historical context support serious preparation.

How to get the most out of it

  • Study the accompaniment voicings carefully; they reflect the original pit orchestration and shape the harmonic foundation of your phrasing.
  • Approach the character work before refining the vocal technique. Understanding Lola's intentions in each phrase will clarify where the song needs legit belt, where it settles into a lyrical zone, and where personality takes the lead.
  • Use the chord symbols to explore what the harmony is doing beneath your line. This awareness supports both musicality and interpretation choices.

How to use it

This song works beautifully in a musical theatre showcase, cabaret evening, or solo recital exploring Broadway's golden age. It pairs well with other audition-caliber selections and demonstrates a singer's ability to tackle character work and theatrical presence.

Skills your students will build

  • Authentic interpretation of mid-century Broadway style and character work
  • Reading chord symbols and understanding harmonic structure
  • Navigating rhythmic precision within a swing-inflected musical setting
  • Building audition-ready arrangements using 16-bar cut strategies
