Highest note ever sung by a male in a musical?

Posted: 7/18/04 at 12:09pm

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.

In "Flying Home" (SFANW) Man 1 sings a C. There's probably higher than that though.

Jesus hits constant high notes in JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR in full voice, not in Mary Sunshine falsetto.

In 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.

I believe there's a high B flat at the end of "Love Changes Everything" from ALW's Aspects of Love

I 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".

If were talking non-falsetto, Billy Porter probably wins the prize for Grease.

The note in "Music of the Night" is an A above middle C.
