@boxwitch 14 күн бұрын

It's also quite a new musical compared to most if not all of these, really. There aren't enough examples of people playing this role historically, so it's difficult for the difficulty itself of the role to be appropriately shown in performance comparisons. Not saying it's not a difficult role, just that there's not enough range for comparison in terms of performers by comparison with these other musicals. (Also, casting calls for these roles (operatics and high-movement) state that these are necessary skills for the role. If you can't do opera in a casting call for a character that sings opera, then you obviously won't get the role. So, the performers will be able to do this because they're trained for it. It's not just a coincidence that this person can do operatic song in high-movememt)

Hey, just as a sidenote, they don’t record the high E at the end of the title song in Phantom because of a safety net for the actors. It is never sung live, it is part of the staging and the use of doubles for crossovers that makes it necessary to be prerecorded. Although I imagine that they staged it that way because the note was manufactured when Sarah Brightman played the role. She couldn’t sing it, and if you listen to the recording, it’s clearly just her screaming, and it being looped in someway. To the best of my knowledge, all of the other Christine’s after her actually sang the note, at least on the recording that they use for the performance.

@Melissent Ай бұрын

All very challenging roles - I was glad to see you included Next to Normal. However, I'm surprised the powerhouse that is Aldonza in Man of LaMancha was overlooked. She has to alternate between a high belt to lyrical, and the challenge of playing such a character and her journey is unparalleled.

@What_Makes_Climate_Tick Ай бұрын

I just started rehearsing Gypsy (Uncle Jocko and various). It's an amateur production and although our Rose is not quite a Broadway star, she is one of the best singer/actresses in a medium-sized college-town theater-heavy metro area, and I am excited about her performance, having seen her in the role before. A couple of roles that have less featured stage time but highly emotional character-driven (in one case also chemically enhanced) solos are Fantine in Les Miz, Alice in The Addams Family, and any other female role in A Chorus Line.

This is a great list, but there are definitely some roles that are should have honorable mentions like Sally Bowles in "Cabaret," the Christine Ebersole track in "Grey Gardens," Georgina in "Hallelujah, Baby!" and Charity in "Sweet Charity." These aren't just demanding physically, you have to be a triple-threat who is a very strong actor, you have to literally sing at extremes of your voice or putting on a unique character voice (or pretend to be a bad singer in some cases) and be able to switch emotions on a dime.

Sandy is not a difficult role to sing, in any way. Nor is it a complex arc to act. Tracy in Hairspray is demanding for the sheer amount of material she has to marathon through, so yes. Amber? No. That's also not a difficult role. It's a stock, archetypal character that any decent musical theatre trained actor can play, if they have the right look. And vocally it's not complex or demanding, in any way.
