| People keep saying that they are going to have to lower the keys for Sutton Foster, and perhaps they will, but just because we have not heard her sing as high as the role goes in the keys used originally does not mean she can't. Countless women can belt and also sing with what some folks call a "legit" sound above the staff. Again, I'm not positive she can and will, but she certainly has some head voice at her disposal — we've heard her use it — and it may be that the licensed keys would pose no problems for her. |

| I would love it if they used the keys for Chenowetg on TV. We know Kristin has unlimited range but I liked a little belt in that number. | |

| And frankly, Marian is not an extremely high role. It clearly needs a more "legit" sound, but it's not Cunegonde. (The highest written note is the Ab at the end of "My White Knight," and although one expects to hear it, it's actually optional.) And even if Foster had trouble with the higher tessitura as written (the highest notes being lots of F's, a few F#'s, and a G in "Till There Was You"), I doubt they'd have to take things down all that far. | |
