OBSESSED! Marc Kudisch: The Highs and Lows of Broadway

[hiyahandsome]

Damn, Marc Kudish has one of the greatest voices to be heard on Broadway! WOW!  So smart and interesting as well as talented. Love hearing him spar with Seth, delightful video.

SO TRUE. Oh my god Kudisch is extremely smart when it comes to the voice. Seth should be listening to him!! The difference between baritones and tenors isn't essentially the range it's the vocal quality of them. A baritone singing a B flat sounds completely different than a tenor singing a B flat. Props to Kudisch!!

Baritone Pride! I'm a fairly high baritone and proud of it! SHOUT OUT TO ALL MY BARITONE BROTHERS!

I can hit a low F to a high C..... I love my giant Range..... I could be a Baritone to a high tenor, and in my falsetto I can be a mezzo soprano.

I guess I'm a tenor that doesn't want to work that hard. Oops.

Pretty heavy for Obsessed... but I want to hear more!

[HikariDragonRyuu]

I call myself a lyric baritone AND a baritenor. In my mind, they're the same thing. I go from F# to Bb - more than two octaves, and I count myself as a baritenor.

I love listening to Marc interviews.

Until Sondheim conquered all, the romantic lead was a baritone: Oklahoma, Carousel, South Pacific, Kiss Me, Kate, Kismet: No tenor leads.

LOVE this series--I am, yes, obsessed with it.

Marc! Fabulous singer, actor, comedian, performer, and so full of passion and intelligence. Oh--and pretty to look at. Duh.

All that said, I may have to quibble about baritones being maligned. What about all those bari-hunks? What about Figaro? Posa? Many operatic leads and heros. Hermann Prey. William Warfield, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Paul Robeson, Thomas Hampson and so many others? Marc sounds like he belongs in those ranks here.

@AvalonMorley I think meant being maligned in musical theatre. The Baritone in operatic scenes is much more... welcomed. so to speak. Because as one of the Ten Tenors says in the "short Lesson in Opera", the Baritone, only ever sings about... himself" ;)

[ivelosthewilltolive]

@katrinaburch The old saying is, Every opera is about the tenor wanting to make love to the soprano, and the baritone trying to prevent him.

This guy is wonderful! Thank you for representing the all-powerful baritones!

[Judill]

Thank you Marc Kudisch! Giving voice to all of us baritones!
