I'm getting ready to be in this play, i'm_back, and my friend and I were recently talking about this, because we were talking about finding sheet music for the vocal selections. It really depends on which part the jester in your version of OUAM is singing. This might just be the music we found, I don't know, but in the songs where both the jester and the minstrel sing, their parts are written on the same clef. So it's really up to your director whether or not you have the high parts in the songs that both the jester and the minstrel sing, because it doesn't specify who sings what. Don't know if that helps or not.

Re: harry
I am a baritone playing Harry and have had no real problems other than "Yesterday I loved you" and the word "glove" in "In a Little While".

Would anyone mind telling me in which song Larken's A-flat is?

Thank you so much for posting this. I'm auditioning at the beginning of November, which is a while a way but I needed a new musical to obsess over

I'm a high tenor voice and was casted as the Jester, even though they said my range was perfect for the Minstrel. Our Minstrel was an EXTREMELY poor bass instead. And, since we're on the topic of "Mattress" vocal ranges, I have posted this claim before, but I'm very proud of it, which was because our Fred was a very low alto (and a stuck up Prima Donna who constantly gets vocally strained or sick during musical) they had me, in full Jester costume, do her "Song of Love" vocalization. It brought the house down. If I ever learn how to update videos, I will put my school's on Youtube and provide a link to show all of you.

Yikes. Did they change the key for "Many Moons Ago?" It gets way up there...and how did they block the Jester singing "Song of Love?" He's not even onstage during that.
I hate people who think they are God's gift to theatre and can't even sing their own songs.

Re: Vocal Ranges ESPECIALLY with the Minstrel. I mean, that's a damn hard role to sing, and when you start casting baritone/bass kids in that role...it just doesn't work out. As YouTube demonstrates quite clearly.
