What are the highest belted notes in a show for a girl?

What about for a dude?

Also, what are the highest notes written for a femal...nonbelted?

I"m guessing Kristin in Steel Pier for the last question, Che in Evita for #2, and I really don't know for #1 (all I know is it isn't Defying Gravity...so don't start).

Idinas last note in Defying Gravity. WOAH!

I knew someone would do that. Good...it's out of the way now.

Idina? Highest note? Give me a break.

Shoshana Bean hits an A over high A in Bless The Lord in Godspell.

Most Jesus' hit high G over high C for a long period of time in Jesus Christ Superstar.

What is your problem!? Its an opinion and Im intitled to one.

Eden belts (and sustains) a G sharp twice in one song in Brooklyn....yeah.

Idina's note in Defying Gravity is pretty damn high...but I think she may have gone higher in the Wild Party or Rent. Updated On: 8/30/04 at 06:18 PM

isn't mandy patinken's (sp?) an Ab over tenor high C during The Money Kept Rolling In?

I think shoshana may win there with the highest...she's my gal...LOVE me some shoshana.

Actually, Idina's last note isn't the highest she sings in the song. "I'm flying high, deFYing gravity" is higher.

I'd definitely say Shoshana's A in "Bless the Lord." I'm hard-pressed to think of others quite that high. Of course, she screams it more than belts it, but you know.

the character of Tony in West Side Story hits a high G above high C in "Tonight" and "Something's Comin" and a high A above high C in "Maria" as well as the "Tonight" reprise at the end of Act I. i know...i was Tony in my production and it's tough!

It's like an E flat or F in full voice. That's high for a woman in full voice, but we're talking highest ever here. You can't compair Idina to the notes in Phantom of the Opera.

I think Kristin hits a note in the end of "Thank Goodness" that could break glass.

"And in time"---time falls on a high a-flat


(from "Not While I'm Around"~SWEENEY TODD)

NOTE: I know it is not the highest by any means, I was just listing it as high.

Good Lord, Broadwaygirl107! In which song does Eden do that?

[BroadwayGirl107]

People for women we're talking BELTED notes here...was Shosana's A belted?

WickedRocks, "the highest note in a show" isn't an opinion - its a question asking for a factual response. Therefore there is a right and wrong answer.

kristin could have shattered glass at several points

These are just high notes. These aren't "highest" notes.

If we are just talking high notes in general...Raul hits amazing high Bs and C sharps in ROCKY HORROR.

There are tons of high As, Bs, Cs, and Ds in CHESS, and JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR.

The most common note for Judas in JCS is actually probably a high A, and he sings all the time.

This is not an opinion question.

ShbrtAlley44 - she does it in Streetsinger. It's gotta be a belt...or a very convincing mix...

[BroadwayGirl107]

Posted: 8/30/04 at 6:24pm

Any takers for my question on Shosana's A?

[Seany]

Posted: 8/30/04 at 6:24pm

It's screaming falsetto for Shoshana.

[SammyGal]

Raul Esparza can hit super high notes for a male.
I know "Petrified" isn't his highest note but it's the most astounding one I've ever heard.
:)

There's my 2 cents.

Also Euan can hit some pretty high notes, so props to the Scottish man

In other words...not a belt?

[ShbrtAlley44]

Posted: 8/30/04 at 6:25pm

She screams it, definitely. I'm listening to Eden now to determine whether it's a mix or a belt.

[Seany]

Posted: 8/30/04 at 6:26pm

It's a belt, but just not a full voice belt...if that makes any sense.
