Eva Noblezada is currently playing Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby @bwaygatsby at Paper Mill Playhouse! #hadestown #bwaygatsby #greatgatsbymusical
This makes me so happy!!!! Because it’s so rare for altos to get good parts in a song (coming from a choir/theatre kid) and she’s on BROADWAY!!! 😁❤️❤️❤️
as an alto, it makes me so happy to see representation in lead roles!! (btw can you tell eva that from one anxiety ridden alto to another, she’s doing amazing and i’m so proud of her)
Exactly what I was thinking re mezzo range. Altos can’t pull off Kim’s Miss Saigon numbers or the Broadway Eurydice range. Off Broadway’s Eurydice with the dropped keys would be more manageable for altos.
Honestly, more musicals need to be written that can be performed by a wider pool of people. It's ridiculous that so many beautiful shows are created the can't be performed by your average youth or community theatre program simply because the songs are too dang high. Similarly, it's ridiculous how many performers will never get a chance to play a lead role (beyond the stereotypical "old man/woman baritone/alto" roles) simply because they can't sing the highest tenor or soprano notes.
Love an alto, as well as a bass/baritone, you see so few leading roles for those two vocal types, but especially lower male voices, Sweeney Todd, Javert in Les Mis, Joe in Show Boat, Hades in Hadestown and Lancelot in Camelot are the only real major roles I can think of for basses/bass-baritones in musical theatre, the vast majority of leading roles are for tenors.
As a bass I was thrilled to see this show with Shady and Valley of Ashes, like that is sooo soo much low baritone bass material in a modern broadway show. So happy for all my alto girlies and all my fellow basses with this show!
she’s such an inspiration, i saw her in the great gatsby and i was IN AWE of her voice. I’m an alto as well and an aspiring broadway actress, and seeing an alto this successful on broadway makes my dream sound much more possible!!
Yessss,as an alto 2, I always get stuck in ensemble because of how strong my directors preference for sops is (I’m also not very good, I’ll take the L). The muscle feels like it’s tailored for me tbh
Bring altos and baritones. I feel like every lead male part in the last 20 years (excluding revivals) have been tenor, and same with lead female parts and sopranos
She is a soprano….very bright tone and her low notes lack depth and resonance. I am not sure why in this video she is saying she is an alto. Very odd, she has a big range and everything but technically she is a soprano. Her voice is very beautiful especially on high notes.
Yeah, I noticed in Hadestown it seemed like she actually struggled with some of the lower notes. Her range is still incredible, her voice is just naturally high
You can't really apply classical opera words (soprano, mezzo, etc) to modern musical theatre, so I think she's just using "alto" to mean a lower female part. Either way, she's totally right about putting the music and story first!
Omg an alto lead? I always end up without a singing part or as a boy cause of my crappy range- (SHES SO AWESOME)
me too lol

Tell Eva we love her
On it :)
PLEASE 🙏🙏🙏🙏

As a baritone I love when people show love to the middle voices. Not to high and not too low
Right with you there
I thought maybe she's like mezzo-soprano coz she did Miss Saigon with songs that are crazy high but still hitting it using her chest voice 💪🏻🤷🏻♀️
Technically, she is. Alto is a choral vocal part. Solo-wise, she’d be considered a mezzo (middle) soprano.

100% I'm a Baritone, and there's just nothing that isn't ridiculously high or low, it should ALWAYS be about the quality of the sound
Yes girl, I'm an alto and dream to be on Broadway! So hearing you're an alto too makes me so happy!❤
This is literally why she’s my new favorite broadway actress!!!

YESSS LOVE DIS!
👏👏👏👏
I thought she was a mezzo
She probably is, because Alto is actually not a classical range. It started out as a low Mezzo.
@@ChienaAvtzonshe’s a soprano, even

I’m a high soprano. Those low notes in Flowers are hard for me to sing

Agreed. She is not an alto. Wrong voice quality for an alto.
