Tom, Dick or Harry
Book and lyrics by Stephen Clark
Music by Stephen Keeling
'Tom, Dick or Harry' is a one woman show consisting of a small play (18 pages in length) with eight songs written by Stephen Clark. In 2008, at Stephen's request, I set all the songs to music and he was delighted with the result. It's essentially a small musical for one performer (can be played by a young or older female) and piano accompaniment.
As agreed with Stephen the sheet music to all the songs is available to download on Score Exchange. There is a link to the sheet music of the songs on Sheet Music Page 3
I was deeply saddened when Stephen died, far too young, in 2016.
Stephen was an incredibly gifted writer whom I have known since the days of the Sondheim Masterclass and it was a privilege to set his words for this piece and also for 'My Father's Son.'
The eight songs are in show order:
1. All the Lonely Things
2. Lovers Come and Lovers Go
3. Significant Other
4. You're Only On Your Own
5. Perfect
6. Like Painting a Picture
7. I Wait
8. The Painting's Nearly Over
