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).

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.

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.

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.

Posted: 8/30/04 at 6:19pmthe 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!

Posted: 8/30/04 at 6:19pmIt'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.

Posted: 8/30/04 at 6:20pmI 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.

Posted: 8/30/04 at 6:21pmPeople for women we're talking BELTED notes here...was Shosana's A belted?

Posted: 8/30/04 at 6:22pmWickedRocks, "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.

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.

Posted: 8/30/04 at 6:23pmShbrtAlley44 - she does it in Streetsinger. It's gotta be a belt...or a very convincing mix...

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

Posted: 8/30/04 at 6:25pmShe screams it, definitely. I'm listening to Eden now to determine whether it's a mix or a belt.
#24re: highest notes
Posted: 8/30/04 at 6:26pmIt's a belt, but just not a full voice belt...if that makes any sense.
