That is high Priest, considering most Broadway men are Baritones. I'm not all for these high E's above middle C and stuff. B flat/natural is usually the call for most men, and that's some stretch for me being a bari/tenor.
in the 1996 London cast of JCS (best recording by the way) Steve Balsamo (Jesus) hits an ungodly high note in "Gethsemane" and he holds that note for a minute or so. The first time I heard that I almost fell out of my seat out of amazement.

My friend just gave me Sunday in the Park With George not too long ago...and some of the notes Mandy Patinkin hits on that recording without going into falsetto are ASTOUNDING. He's fabulous.
