Does anyone know where to get the music to this song? I REALLY want to do it at our schools choir concert. I know the book isn't out yet but do you think if I e-mailed the people who work on the show I could get just this song? I have heared of that happening before.
Thanks

I will say this loud and clear so no body should ask this again
THERE WILL NOT BE SHEET MUSIC FOR THIS SHOW FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.No, they will not E-mail you the song. Any way, no choir should be doing a song from this show.

Posted: 2/27/07 at 8:52pmIt will not take a couple of years. That's just crazy. And I would be doing it with two other people not our entire choir. This song isn't even bad at all. I hate when people think that the whole show is automatically full of bad songs. I would say any song except for "Totally F****d" and "Bitch of a Living" (maybe) would be totally acceptable to do.

You can try contacting Duncan Sheik, I believe he has a Myspace which he regularly checks. You would of course have to get permission, but I don't think that would be hard if you go through him and not the illegal way.

Who knows what can happen. Remember when Stephen Schwartz granted permission for people to perform Wicked songs before the sheet music was announced? All you had to do was contact his assistant.

Posted: 2/27/07 at 9:07pmI'm not sure it will take a couple of years but it takes a while for sheet music for show as new as this to come out.I know the song and I know it is not "bad" but it just bothers me when school choirs do Broadway songs that are not meant for a choir.

I concur...it's not a song for a choir (even a show choir).

Posted: 2/28/07 at 4:05pmYou could contact the guy who transcribed 'Don't Do Sadness'. He might do it if you pay him :P

Like I said it wouldnt be my choir. It would be me and two other people. They way we do our concerts is we have solo performers in between each differant choir.
Trust me, I would let this song be done as a choral piece

Posted: 2/28/07 at 7:54pmI'm sure that the songbook will be out soon. I doubt it will be years.
