Post Vocal Ranges for parts
Hey guys

I was wondering if anyone that has some serious Music Man knowledge could help me out here. =]

My school has decided to do Music Man this year and while I've seen the movie years ago, I don't really remember much about it. Of course I'm going to rewatch the movie, but I was curious about the vocal ranges of each character (well, the females at least). Thanks

Oh, gosh... well, I know Marian has to sing a high A (maybe A flat, can't recall) at the end of My White Knight... Mrs. Paroo only sings in Piano Lesson and usually Gary, Indiana, but none of her notes go very high, maybe the highest is a D or E? None of the other women really have solo lines except if they have a solo line in Wells Fargo or Iowa Stubborn, and none of those are very high or low. Depends on how you're divided/your voice part as to what you will sing in the chorus. Some parts in Iowa Stubborn and Wells Fargo can go quite high for first sopranos.

Marian sings an A flat at the end of My White Knight (although technically it's optional - otherwise the last note in the song is a D flat).

He's a tenor. Goes up to an A.
