me too lol

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)

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!!! 😁❤️❤️❤️

Tell Eva we love her

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.

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.

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!❤

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!!

This is literally why she’s my new favorite broadway actress!!!

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!

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.

God she’s amazing

Oh Eva 🩷 she was absolutely phenomenal in Gatsby and the combination of her voice with Jeremy’s is beyond incredible!

ALTO APPRECIATION!!!!!

Yessssss!!! Alto represent!!!❤❤

you have restored my hope in becoming a professional actor

“Screlt” 😂

Agreed.

A LEGEND

I want that shirt! Yass Barkada!

Eva ! Whatz not to LOVE !!

So true, queen

YESSS LOVE DIS!

👏👏👏👏

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

I thought she was a mezzo

She probably is, because Alto is actually not a classical range. It started out as a low Mezzo.

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

whoooo is behind the camera cause it sounds like ali gordon? or am i crazy

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

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

Hmmm maybe I am an alto hmm

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!
