21st Century Musical Theatre: 50 Songs from Shows since 2000<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in learning how to sing and play the piano to your favorite musical theatre songs, look no further than Parsons Music Library. Some of the 50 songs from this collection of musical scores that are my personal favorites include \u201cSanta Fe\u201d from Newsies<\/a><\/em>, \u201cProud of Your Boy\u201d from Aladdin<\/a><\/em>, and \u201cDancing Through Life\u201d from Wicked<\/em>. Newsies the Musical<\/em> debuted in 2011 at the Paper Mill Playhouse<\/a>, a theater located 20 minutes away from where I grew up. Most recently, the musical version of The Great Gatsby<\/a><\/em> also made its debut at the Paper Mill Playhouse, featuring the powerhouse-voice of Jeremy Jordan<\/a> (who has also played Jack in Newsies<\/a><\/em>). If you are a male singer who wants to sound like this iconic performer, you should start with watching him belt his heart out to “Santa Fe” (and then learn it yourself with this score!). <\/p>\n

In preparation for the Wicked<\/em> movie<\/a> coming out in November, learning \u201cDancing Through Life\u201d and \u201cWonderful\u201d from the critically acclaimed Broadway musical Wicked<\/a><\/em> will set you up for success in the movie theater. Both of these songs and many more are available in 21st Century Musical Theatre: 50 Songs from Shows since 2000<\/a><\/em> at the Parsons Music Library<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
