  • Here's how he gets from "the basement" to "screaming a G" every night.
    "There's no snack track in this show," Alex Newell reminds fans of the current ''Once on This Island'' Broadway revival, meaning there's no time to recover or prepare his voice during the show's 90 minutes. So how does Newell manage to hit the extreme highs and lows of "Mama Will Provide" every single time? It's largely down to an extensive and specific vocal warm-up routine, Newell says. That, and a healthy pre-show drink he makes at home and consumes 30 minutes before walking onstage. Here's what's in it:
    Apple cider vinegar
    Oregano oil ("opens everything up")
    Manuka honey
    Ginger
    Alex also advises Broadway singers to "speak as minimally as possible," adding, "that's tough because I'm a Leo, and I love to be around people."

    Alex was robbed. The TONYs should be ashamed. Brilliant performance, every single night.

    You could tell this is hard for him. I remember he would do press while promoting the show and his voice was shot. 90 min, with his range??? Thank goodness the brother can still talk what a great vocalist ❤️

      No, he was right. In the revival, “Mama Will Provide” is actually in the key of Eb as opposed to the original which was in E, so he is singing a G at the end of the number.

      This is the problem, people don’t realize that there are many different types of people in this world. You can’t just assume you know his gender. He has stated in an interview that he is a gay man, not a trans woman. Feminine gay men and trans woman are NOT the same. Both deserve to be respected just like anyone else, and not misgendered.
