Performance tip
Why Can't I? needs one clear preparation choice: plan a breath within the longest line, which is about 18 words. Rehearse that transition in Why Can't I? before worrying about stage movement.
Should you sing it?
Why Can't I? makes sense for a singer who can handle a dense lyric flow and sell the lyric’s point of view. It has some repeated lines to anchor the arrangement. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
