      Ha55150n Gration yes, still you can listen several other recordings where he hits notes higher than this a flat. On his album This is the life, he sustains several b flats, one high C and so on. There is even a video of him singing a high C live. This made me write this comment.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, I want someone to make a Broadway musical of Candyman starring Norm in the title role. He's a very Phantom-esque figure, and Norm's deep, velvety voice would be the perfect musical equivalent to Tony Todd's ICONIC deep speaking voice.
    Random comment, I know, but that idea popped into my head a few months ago, and I haven't been able to shake it.

    Mister Norm Lewis gives it a different vibe to the character. I really appreciate a baritone developing the role, which is not very common. I cannot think of another baritone on Broadway playing the role? Besides, I love Norm Lewis voice and charisma on stage, he can do no wrong :) No need of comparison just enjoy what you listen to :)

      gladys cabezas My theory is we all hear things differently, just like we taste them differently (which still doesn't explain why my son in law only likes about six foods, but....). Obviously, the lower, more powerful ranges like Alfie Boe and Norm Lewis are my favorites, but other than Nick Jonas trying to be Marius, I enjoy most singers. I realize Michael Ball sadly never got to be Jesus in JCSS but damn - what he does with ”Gethsemane” - that I probably misspelled - is amazing. I preferred his version as well as Colm’s to the more rock style. Why we have chocolate and vanilla! (and because my son in law will only EAT the vanilla....)

    His bass qualities. He is baritone of course, hence he can do this song. But his BASSS QUALITY! Plus his physical awareness! This is why I put him edge to edge with Quast for Javert.

    What a ridiculously great talent. I'm surprised that he can sing like that without getting into it anymore than he does. You can tell he's just enjoying himself up there doing what he does best and whatever other cliches. I get psyched just listening to it. And yeah. One of the biggest voices I've ever heard. Comparable to playing a small Tuba in that range...which is massive coming from a human voice.

    If anyone hasn’t, Jonathan Roxmouth does a fantastic phantom as well and dare I say it, gives Ramin and Norm Lewis a run for their money. His robust baritone gave me chills as soon as he opens his mouth and is ideal to what the phantom’s voice should sound like. Angelic and beautiful but with sense of menace as well.
