@bandfreak14 I also got the chance to play the part of Jud in Oklahoma. Our final show is tomorrow. And you're right, this is one of the most powerful songs in the play, and Jud is a great character to play.
Nope, as written. It may be the darker timbre or resonance that could make it sound lower to some people. Or mens solos are usually written in treble clefs (hence the octave lower) unless youre looking at a Grand Staff, for instance while singing with a chorus. Its just an unwritten editors rule. Sing in the tessitura you are comfortable in. Octaves arent illegal.
Transposing isn't cheating. Even Stephen Sondheim, who is very specific in his writing to say the least, said himself that if you fit the part then there is no problem in transposition. The only shows you can't transpose are Bernstein because it's against the copyright agreement.
@IndigoLeaves nah it's a fairl low registered song...for a baritone. The last 3 words "Call my own" is the highest note and it's only a C# (ocatve above middle C)

I didnt mean creepy. Its a powerful song that shows jud is a real person. With feelings and wants. Not just a monster

I did Oklahoma 2 and a half years ago, and I played Judd. I still catch myself singing this song from time to time.
