Chicago - Roxie (I've already played the Matron in a camp production...I do that again too!)

Hello Dolly! - Minnie Fay

*feels lucky to be a second soprano*

C'mon, surely someone can up with a part for FF.

Edit- Okay, mezzo-soprano. But I haven't sung outside of choirs because I'm a coward. :)

you guys, I know that in choir there are such things as Altos, 2nd altos, 2nd sopranos, etc (I was in the All-State Choir as a Bass I).....but in theatre, women are usually either, Sopranos, Mezzos, and/or Belters.... Just a terminology thing...

jonartdesigns: I know how you feel, I'm a 16 year old Baritone, and they don't exactly make roles for us in musicals today, if you're a guy you have to be able to sing into the stratosphere. If your a baritone you gotta have a pretty flexible range these days. So I'm streching all of my picks.

Posted: 7/12/04 at 1:31pm

i finally learned to really stretch it up to a mid-tenor range, which is why i was a litle iffy about putting fiyero
