Alfred Celebrates The Stage With New Piano/Vocal Songbooks

Alfred Music Publishing continues its tremendous growth as a premier publisher of musical theatre sheet music, with the release of new piano/vocal songbooks from three sensationally popular musicals: The Marvelous Wonderettes, Pump Boys and Dinettes, and Nunsense.

Currently playing off-Broadway at the Westside Theatre, The Marvelous Wonderettes has taken audiences by storm. A throw-back to the magical era of the ’50s and ’60s, The Marvelous Wonderettes focuses on four girls at their prom in 1958 and features classic girl group hits from
that time. Now, all musicians, from hobbyists to professionals, can enjoy the delightful songs that have made this musical a hit. The songbook features professional piano/vocal arrangements, including chord changes. Titles: Allegheny Moon * Heatwave * Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me * I Only Want to Be with You * It's My Party * Leader of the Pack * Lipstick on Your Collar * Lucky Lips * Maybe * Maybe I Know * Mr. Sandman * Needle in a Haystack * Rescue Me * Respect * Secret Love * Son of a Preacher Man * Stupid Cupid * Thank You and Goodnight * That's When the Tears Start * Wedding Bell Blues * With This Ring * You Don't Own Me and more. The Marvelous Wonderettes: Vocal Selections is now available as a piano/vocal songbook for $24.95.

The smash-hit Broadway musical Pump Boys and Dinettes is a musical slice of middle-America, focusing on four guys who run a roadside gas station and two sisters who operate the Double Cupp Diner across the street. The songs are universal in appeal and quintessentially American, consisting of a main course of country-western with rockabilly, gospel, and old-fashioned rock ’n’ roll served up on the side. This is good-natured, high-octane fun that is brought together in a must-have songbook that is perfect for all occasions, from auditions or jam sessions to professional performances. Titles: Highway 57 * Serve Yourself * Menu Song * The Best Man * Mamaw * Be Good or Be Gone * The Night Dolly Parton Was Almost Mine * Sister * No Holds Barred * Farmer Tan * Closing Time. Pump Boys and Dinettes: Vocal Selections is now available as a piano/vocal songbook for $19.95.

Commemorate the 25th anniversary of Nunsense with Nunsense: The 25th Nunniversary Songbook. The second-longest running off-Broadway show in history, Nunsense ran for over 3,600 performances and spawned five sequels—Nunsense 2: The Second Coming, Sister Amnesia's Country Western Nunsense Jamboree, Nuncrackers: The Nunsense Christmas Musical, Meshuggah-Nuns!, and Nunsensations: The Nunsense Vegas Revue. Now, the whimsical songs from all six shows are compiled into this comprehensive piano/vocal songbook including chord grids for guitar.
Titles: A Long, Long Way * A Love Like This * All I Want for Christmas * The Christmas Box * The Delta Queen * Double or Nothin' * Every Day of the Week Is a Saturday * Growing Up Catholic * Holier Than Thou * I Am Here to Stay * I Could've Gone to Nashville * I Just Want to Be a
Star * I Left Him There * I'll Find a Song to Sing * If I Were a Catholic * Life Is a Game of Chance * My Fat Is My Fortune * No One Cared Like You * Nunsense Is Habit-Forming * Play a Country Enut * Santa Ain't Comin' to Our House * Say It in Yiddish * What Would Elvis Do?
