  • Break a leg!

  • oh goodness, this is fantastic! Hard song and you nailed it man!

  • Very flattered! Thanks!

  • yeah of course! I'm assistant director for the show at our high school, so I was looking at videos to show our Billy because he's been having a little bit of trouble with this piece, just knowing when to breathe etc. But the last few bars "Steal it or take it, or die" daaaang boy!, you got some pipes!! We have a very talented 16 year old doing it, and we hope it will turn out great when it opens Thursday. Keep singing!!

  • It's very tough to sing, indeed. It's definitely important to pace yourself, to save your energy for that last verse. I was so frustrated that the picture went out on the video; the concert was a one-night event, so there was nothing I could do. At the very end (on "steal it or take it") I spontaneously dropped to my knees. I don't necessarily recommend doing that in the actual show, but in the concert it worked well. Good luck with the show! (Maybe you'll tell me how it goes?)

  • yeah of course! I will let you know! It runs until Sunday! And of course being the actual show there is a little more blocking that all fits. It's gonna be good. Perhaps I'll film the dress rehearsal of it

  • Ron, your top notes here are both open and secure. To me that suggests you are a HIGH baritone, if not a tenor in the rough. That opinion, of course, is not to judge you. You must sing in your most comfortable and expressible range, regardless of what would-be critics like me suggest. Either way, please continue counting me as an admirer:)! ----------- Best, Steve

  • You made it sound so natural, your voice is perfect for this role and you even look a bit like Gordon Macrae.

  • Played Billy before and loved doing this and yes ITS A TRYING NUMBER! I MAY be doing it again after 6 yrs fingers crossed

  • hey man ur really gd at sining this im doing the show rite know and its such a hard song to sing and you done it really well
