I think that because of how "poorly" Toby is treated, it almost gives a more tender moment that Toby experiences by playing his tambourine with Monica and Baba.
@MegaMozartfan I did this for a solo-festival when I was a freshman in highschool, and I was also an alto, actually I was closer to a tenor, but I managed it just fine. It took a lot of work and painful shreiking to get it just right, but I have no doubts that you can do this. It's such an amazing peice that any singer would be better for attempting it, anyway. ^^
@katieex3music Believe it or not, Menotti has indicated in the score for Toby to use a Tambourine, and gives the rhythm to be played. I don't mind it, I find it makes it a little eerier, especially given the context. The tambourine is pretty essential to the show, and is one of Toby's only possessions.
would have sounded a bit better with less tambourine... But great voice! I'm singing this song for NYSSMA and it helps to hear different people singing it. :) Great job!
I loved Toby! What a wonderful work!

Is he not suppose to be seen? Is he a ghost? Why does the girl look at him but just ignores him? This is confusing.

It is in the score that Toby should start playing the tamborine - it is cheesy and the director did a poor job of directing Toby. Very awkward.

I find it weird Toby is playing the tambourine - the kid is deaf.

@SimplifyItClaire: Toby is actually a mute. So he can hear things, he just can't speak.

@SimplifyItClaire Does deaf mean that he can't appreciate music in his own way? Or keep a simple beat on a tambourine? I don't think so.

Lovely. Am I to understand that Toby is mute but not deaf?

That's correct - Toby actually won best supporting actor at the Brickenden awards for this role - without one line of dialogue! Bravo Toby!
