Description: This collection made its debut in 1979 and was the first of its kind. Up until then, I noticed that sheet music published for Broadway musicals was often in a generic key, making it impossible to prepare for an audition. To obtain a song in its original key, one would have to purchase an expensive vocal score. I extracted many of the songs directly from vocal scores, splicing for brevity when warranted. My collection thankfully spawned many imitations by other publishers. Originally published in 1979 by Theodore Presser Company on behalf of Chappell Music Company.
