This brings back memories from the late 1960s. Mandy went to South Shore High School in Chicago, my high school. Although he went there the same time I did, I did not know him. However, I did see him as Tony in an amateur production of West Side Story at the community center on the South Side and he was wonderful. That was in the late 1960s.
@HonestMan395 yeah but hes probably a tenor, cause his voice is naturally bright like a tenors. for example (in brag form) my lowest note i can resonate is E2 but im a tenor because my voice is best in the C4ish range.
@thestainisgone485 He's actually more like a Counter-Tenor. He has the full range of a Baritone, but has amazing control ofe his upper range head voice.
he is quite simply the best we have for male singers on Broadway or anywhere. And not only that he is a great actor either comic or dramatic. Thank you Mandy for being alive during my lifetime
I've seen opera singers with a lot less involvement and expression than Mandy Patinkin. He is an artist deserving praise that isn't punctuated with vulgarity.
I know he's Jewish, but his voice would be soooo lovely for any of the famous Ave Marias. Caccini, Gounod, and Schubert -- his voice is just so pure. -_-
Are you suggesting that he can't sing Caccini, Gounod or Schubert quite as well because he's Jewish? Do you have any idea how many white guys have played Othello (both Shakespeare and Opera)????
@gingerdame I know you didn't mean this the way it sounds - since singers from all sorts of ethnic background sing all sorts of things...you know that, right?

@MotherMunchkin I think he is actually a baritone with an unusually high upper range which he has perfect control of. A unique voice.

@HonestMan395 funny that u think hes a baritone because to my knowledge hes never sang a baritone role professionally

@gaspo35 That's what makes his voice unique.

@gaspo35 If you listen to the "Cats in the cradle" Video, in the list to the right, you see his full baritone range.

It's an odd production he has - sort of permanent falsetto, but I really like this.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
i worked there .
the night before Iggy Pop sang in the same spot.
Mandy sings like a old faty oprea star...which was great.
But IgGy sang like an old Muther fUcker who gave a fXCk.
