*What does “in the style of” mean?
When we ask for a song “in the style of 9 to 5,” we mean a piece that fits the same musical world and energetic character of the show—bold, rhythmic, commercial pop-country, and rooted in the brassy, late-1970s and early-80s Broadway tradition. Think songs that capture a high-energy, working-class grit, sharp comedic storytelling, and powerful, driving belt vocals. Good examples include (but are not limited to) numbers from Legally Blonde, Working, Tootsie, The Wedding Singer, or Catch Me If You Can—all share that upbeat, contemporary-commercial musical theater feel with a strong pop edge. By contrast, traditional Golden Age standards from The Sound of Music or modern, through-composed shows like Hadestown, Hamilton, or Dear Evan Hansen would not be in the right style because they feature classical musical theater tones, hip-hop rhythms, or contemporary pop-rock angst that don’t match the brassy, retro-pop energy of 9 to 5.
