Devil's advocate it is, then, lol.

But - Amalia has the (not optional) high B at the end of "Vanilla Ice Cream," and a song like "Where's My Shoe" hangs on more frequent high notes (F/G) than Marian does in general. I've sometimes heard sopranos struggle with the placement of the last floated F# in "Will He Like Me" as well. As for Lilli, "So In Love" as written goes to F#'s, but now the (unfortunate) fashion is to extend that phrase up another whole step to G# (on the "I" of "till I die"), which I despise. There are A's and a possible Bb at the end of Act I, another possible Bb at the end of the show, and the climactic "ready" of "I Am Ashamed" is a G. But I also feel that role is also meant for a voice with more heft and "vocalism" than your typical Marian, given the "diva" leanings of the character(s).
