In her recent memoir, Barbara Cook says she counted the high notes in "Glitter and Be Gay": "Four E-flats above high C, six D-flats above high C, sixteen B-flats, and twenty-one high Cs."

lol @ op asking and then promptly giving approximately 20 examples.

also, when has Maria ever sang in No Way to Stop It in SOM ?

In my humble opinion, Glitter and Be Gay is the most insane soprano song of all time, at least in a musical, with Poor Wandering One as a close second.

The Circus Contraption cast recordings feature recurring character Pinky D'Ambrosia, who has some very high notes, particularly in the insane "Mendel the Magnificent" and "Pinky and Moonbeam."

Annas sits at a high D frequently in "Jesus Christ Superstar," particularly in post-revision productions which emphasize his role and give him some of the Chief Priests' solos.

For men, Clopin hits a crazy high note at the end of The Bells of Notre Dame in Hunchback. I think it's a D above high C, but I'm not positive.

newintown, Pennywise does sing a high C at the end of Privelege to Pee. She first sings two an octave below that and then goes up the octave (all on an "ah" vowel).

When I first saw Jennifer Hope Wells in Wonderful Town I thought OMG, she would be a wonderful Christine, and sure enough she rewarded us with a four year run.

If the question were - "highest note on a cast album" I would say the E6 Lindsay Mendez sings in Bless the Lord in the Godspell revival. But actually in the revival score the highest note written is a high A so it's not required per the score, technically.

Yes The last note in Privilege to Pee is a C6. And the "high" notes in A new Argentina are G5s, only considered high because it's a belted note, and G5s are a BITCH to belt, lol.
