Hi musical lovers,

Just a question does anyone quickly know the vocal range of the part of Maria IN WSS by Berstein in each of her songs, thanks a million.

Hi Audra

Maria goes up to a high C (2 Octaves above middle C) in the group version of tonight, although it is possible to cheat and have someone else sing this note...In the other songs I THINK it is:

One hand/one heart & Balcony Scene Tonight - High A
A boy like that/I have a love - High B flat
I feel pretty - High A (although a lot of the music you can get takes it to a G)

I think the lowest note is Bflat below middle C, but it has been 5 years since I did West Side, so not completely sure.

Hope this helps

Sarah
