Baritone Leads

Hm, while thinking of what musicals my school could do next year, I'm trying to think of what shows have a part that I could be a lead in. It's my senior year and the lead would be a wonderful way to leave high school. But anyways, what are some good Broadway shows out there that have a baritone as the leading man?

We just did Annie Get Your Gun, and I was Frank Butler and the voice part for that seemed to suit me quite well, so I was curious as to some other ones.

Any ideas? It doesn't even have to be appropriate for High Schools, just wondering what's out there that I haven't thought of.

I have a bunch of Man of La Mancha songs in my baritone sheet music book. I love those songs, hopefully I'll start singing some of them with my voice teacher next. Thanks!

Hm, King Arthur in Camelot is a baritone, isn't he?

Jekyll/Hyde is an amazing baritone part. PERFECT show/role for a baritone.

only if you have a kind of a high register.

Camelot would be a perfect show for a school to do....In my eyes at least. You would have a lot of fun putting that one on. I didnt much like the show until I was in it a few months ago, but i had a great time.

My voice teacher is in love with Camelot. She wanted me to take a look at some of that music.
