PROGRAMMING NOTES
This licensed version is curated specifically for high schools and based upon the Original 2018 Broadway production. Some of the keys are more appropriate for younger singers and some of the content has been made more suitable for teenage actors and family audiences.
The High School edition is written to be player-conducted from the Keyboard/Conductor book but the 5 piece band can be certainly conducted by the MD separately if you wish. There is just a single keyboard book in the show.
The Keyboard/Conductor book is primarily acoustic and electric pianos but is pretty densely programmed with over 125 unique patch changes throughout the show. Some of these other sounds include B3 organ, strings, harp, Cathedral organ, synth pads, percussion, accordion, and even sitar to name a few. This book requires an advanced player who can navigate the part and the programming while leading the band.

SHOW DESCRIPTION
HEAD OVER HEELS is the bold new musical comedy from the visionaries that rocked Broadway with Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Avenue Q and Spring Awakening. This laugh-out-loud love story is set to the music of the iconic 1980’s all-female rock band The Go-Go’s, including the hit songs, “We Got the Beat,” “Our Lips Are Sealed,” “Vacation,” Belinda Carlisle’s “Heaven is a Place on Earth” and “Mad About You.”
