A cute song with relatively easy accompaniment
My vocal coach was able to practically sight-read this version of the accompaniment because it shows the chords, whereas the version he has sounds similar but is more difficult to play. I cannot speak to the actual difficulty of the arrangement, though, as I'm not a pianist and I'm sure it depends on key. Note that the "original key" for this sheet music is two keys higher than the film version of /Once Upon a Mattress/. This soprano had to transpose it *down* a key to fit comfortably in her belt range, but if you're Idina Menzel you might be able to go a key up, even. Maybe. Be aware that the entire second half of this song is omitted, starting with "A lady may be dripping with glamour" and ending with "I am one man...shy!" And as shown in the excerpt, the "Hey, nonny, nonny" beginning is gone, too. All it is is the first half of the song, repeated once. Also, in the original version, the note for "horribly" is held out, which is not so in this version. It was rather easy

too speedy
this song, though it claims to be the "long" version, is actually only about half of the song. it also, when played by the musicnotes player, goes incredibly fast in the middle and incredibly slow in the beginning. overall, not like the videos you find of this song on youtube. workable if you want to make it you're "own", but definitely not what i expected.

missing music
Anybody looking for the entire piece of music should definitely not spend five bucks on this. This is the first time Ive been disappointed by music from this site but its a big disappointment. Where is the bridge? Thats the part that I really needed and its nowhere to be seen.
