I chose this song for my singing class (Stagebridge) here in Oakland and I wanted something that would challenge me. I certainly got that! Sondheim isnt easy to sing because he has a tendency to change keys in the middle of a song but, I worked hard, learned the lyrics, felt the lyrics and was able to finally perform the song well enough to receive a standing ovation. But, I couldnt have done so without the music sheets I received from Music Notes. I was able to choose the proper key in which to sing, for the piano accompaniment and the full set of lyrics. Amazing!

An Amazing arrangement of a Broadway Classic. I recommend this one to any Broadway enthusiast and professional singer looking to expand their skills.

One of the best songs in all of musical theatre. I am so glad to have this song in my audition book.

I love that this one includes the whole song, and not just the second part where he sings without the interjections of his friends.

Well adapted from the original. Gives strong base for singing straight from the written notes, but allows for good interpretation by an experienced singer.

Very solid arrangement (a little thick at moments) of this showstopper. Good interplay between parts and solid accuracy.

So it is the full song from the show, so it modulates half way through. If you want a solo version, this is probably not the best way to go unless you are sure of your keys, otherwise, good version.
