Since we have a lowest note/female category...
I believe that it is Mandy Patinkin's High G from "AND THE MONEY CAME ROLLING IN/AND OUT" from Evita.
Of course, I might be wrong.
Praying Decca Broadway will put "Don't Bother Me, I Can't Cope" on CD!

Posted: 7/18/04 at 12:22pmIn "Flying Home" (SFANW) Man 1 sings a C. There's probably higher than that though.

"Grease," the fourth revival of the season, is the worst show in the history of theater and represents an unparalleled assault on Western civilization and its values. - Michael Reidel

Posted: 7/18/04 at 3:16pmIn the 1996 London Cast Recording of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, in "Gethsemane" at the part where he goes "See how I DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE." He holds that ungodly high note for what seems to be 5 hours.

Posted: 7/18/04 at 3:33pmI think Jean Valjean holds the record. Doesn't he?

Posted: 7/18/04 at 4:27pmI believe there's a high B flat at the end of "Love Changes Everything" from ALW's Aspects of Love

Posted: 7/18/04 at 4:37pmI think Valjean goes up to a B. So SFANW still wins. Although if we are including small boys will little voices, the young shows win.

It's hard to distinguish what you mean by "high notes"
High notes in Falsetto?
Chest Voice?
Head voice?
Just listen to Man 1 in Songs For A New World.
That's what I think of when I hear "high notes".

Posted: 7/18/04 at 7:25pmIf were talking non-falsetto, Billy Porter probably wins the prize for Grease.
