this song gets me every time i listen to it. I have always admired musical theatre from either the audience or back stage. but this song spoke to me so much that i knew i had to do something about performing it. my college has a music theatre workshop class that students get to pick what they perform and i, never having had the guts to sing or perform for an audience, signed up for the class, knowing this was the song i wanted to sing. i know i can’t do the song the justice it deserves, but it i’ll try my hardest! thank you for writing such a touching song and for inspiring me to finally step out from behind the shadows.

I think you might be the first. Definitely post the link from YouTube so we can all see it. And I’m so glad that it went over so well at your recital. Congratulations!

I heard this song and immediately fell in love with it. What made me happy was that is was kinda gender neutral if you never heard it before. I sang it at a recital last night, people were crying from it and the whole sha-bang. Everyone thought I wrote it since everyone else was singing Wicked and Rent. I told them, “I WISH” and credited you guys. You know have more Kerrigan and Lowdermilk listeners! Honestly, thank you for writing such beautiful music, especially this piece. It speaks a lot to me and, apparently, my audience.I got a friend to record it, I’ll put it on YouTube, if it’s okay with you.

P.S. Is there a recording on YouTube of a guy singing this song or am I the first?

Can you put the lyrics up for Party Worth Crashing?

Not sure what you mean by dialogue. If you mean writing something to introduce the song in a cabaret or something, that’s fine. Writing an actual dialogue between two people out of context might be a little confusing - but what do I know? It’s your intro. As long as it’s clear that it’s your work, I don’t see a problem.

I will be performing this in the future. How would you feel if I wrote a little dialogue or something to set it up before the song is sung? (only for my performance of course) I realize that the song can speak for itself, so I’m fine either way. Just curious how you felt about it. LOVE THE SONG BY THE WAY. SOOOO POWERFUL!

It’s from a song cycle so there is no character “name” per say. It will be the name of the person who originates the part, most likely. This is an early song for the character but it’s pretty self-contained as a song and it sort of has its own rules as a story. It relates to the rest of the show as they’re all stories about people coming of age, but this is one self-contained example. I wish I could give you more but it’s not a book musical - it’s more the story of a generation than of one particular character… I hope that helps?
