If I Can't Lover Her - Beauty & the Beast
Close Every Door - Joseph

Ray Bolger brought the house down every night with "Once In Love with Amy" from WHERE'S CHARLEY? Even led the audience with a sing-a-long of the song t the end of each show!

---

"you should be loved" from side show AWSOME SONG!!!!!!

I too thought that was true at one time, however, after several recent experiences I can say in all honesty- THERE ARE STUPID QUESTIONS!!!!! However, that question was not a stupid one. But remember THERE ARE STUPID QUESTIONS.

ok I'm done.

I am considered and consider myself a light baritone and I can hit a High Bb...

I don't think I saw "If Ever I Would Leave You" from Camelot anywhere on this list.

And it's not only about notes...it's about coloring and natural placement of the voice.

If any baritone really wishes to work on Broadway, they'd best have a G that they can sustain.

Hal Leonard - First Book of Broadway Solos (Baritone/Bass) Book & CD

This is the perfect first collection for many voice students, whether they are teens or college singers or adults. Joan Boytim has selected songs appropriate for each voice type, and has chosen keys that suit the vocal needs of novice singers studying in traditional, generally classical lyric singing. The editions of the songs in these collections are short and straight-forward. Teachers have found these books invaluable. To make the collections even more useful, each volume is offered in a book/companion CD edition with piano accompaniments recorded by pianist Laura Ward.

The fina 'Be-' in BEING ALIVE is, I believe, an A flat...at least in its original key.

MarkCohen...YOU'RE ONLY FIFTEEN!!! Your voice is still adjusting and, with excellent training and time, you will certainly be able to hit a G. But give it time and take care of your voice!

---

There are sheet music versions in lower keys (and I believe Boyd Gaines sang it a third lower), so your memory may not be all that vague!

---

Being ALive is a great song. It's perfect for demostrating vocal technical skill as well as performance and acting ability.

MarkCohen: (love the screename btw - my ideal role!) Find yourself a good teacher, one you feel comfortable with and who'll let you work on stuff you like but not indulge you in material that won't push you. Make sure they know what they're teaching because cruddy teaching will screw-up your voice. If you're going to try to 'belt' notes at the top of your range, make sure you know how to do it safely before you go for it, else you'll end up with nodules on your vocal folds.... Sorry if you know all that!
