Hey all you Josh Young fans out there, I was listening to his CD and I find myself always coming back to the West Side Story medly at the end. Anyone know what note he hits when he says "maria, maria, MA------ria" and at the very end for "To-----night". Thanks. I want to sing this medly so bad, but I know there's no sheet music available - ugh!

I havent heard his version, but if it's the same note as the sheet music it's like a Bflat. He could very well have sung it in a different key.

It's the way it was originally written in the score. Very few Tonys can hit it.

Oh for real? See, i'm not a west side story fan, so I've never heard the real version, but might have to go pick up a copy now. Is the rest of the song the same as normal sheet music? I'm sure he takes liberties with "maria." But a Bb isn't too bad, its high, but hitable ha.
