Most Difficult Broadway Song To Sing?

"Pity the Child" from Chess.

It all depends on the person's training, background, and skills. One person's "difficult" could be very comfortable for someone else with the same range/tessitura.

I agree "Not Getting Married Today" is very hard.

I don't think "Think of Me" is difficult at all. My concert choir performed it a few years ago. I agree with Rath, it depends on each individual.

God on high
Hear my prayer
In my need
You have always been there

Pity the child
Eva's part in New argentina
the confrontation Jekyll and Hyde
another hundred people
Chris's part in the 2nd act confrontation in Saigon


Think Of me? What?

"Getting Married Today" takes the cake IMO.

"Kiss Me" from Sweeney Todd is a mouthful, mainly because both parts are intricate and then putting them together. And Johanna's is all over the place in terms of range.

The Witch's part in the Prologue in Into the Woods. Also "I Know Things Now" and "Giants in the Sky" are pretty difficult but can definitely be done. "Maybe Their Magic" is not too difficult, but they did slow it down for the revival, so it must have posed somewhat of a problem.

"Act I Finale" in Urinetown is hard for an ensemble to get right. The individual parts are easy, but put it all together and the timing gets off and parts are hidden.

Bill in carousel?
Do you mean Billy's song "Solilquy"? It is long but not terribly difficult for a Baritone.
Or do you mean "Bill" From Showboat. Which I guess is a little difficult if you sing it in the Key that Lonnette Mckee sang it. (too low)

---

I would say I Know Things Now is definately harder to sing well.
It lies in a really awkward place, and it's deceptively high.

Giants in the Sky is a songs that I would say fits most tenors and high baritones pretty well.

Of course, this is all subjective, and it depends on the person.

"Glitter and Be Gay"

I agree.

Think of Me is not difficult at all if you are a trained opera singer.

Yeah, I think a lot of L5Y and SFANW are very hard to sing.

I second rainbow high. We might as well add the whole role of eva peron. Except maybe the lament.
Some of the Florence music in chess is ridiculously difficult. "Nobody's on Nobody's side" comes to mind with the beginning being so low and then the crazy belting later on.
