Song Demos
NOTE: Our director made the creative choice for all the music to be sung acapella so that the lyrics (not the music) remained the most important part of the scene. So, these are demos of the songs that I made for the actors, but there is NO musical accompaniment for them to sing to during your performances. This doesn't mean that you can't add it yourself, but rather that I don't provide it with this package.
