“It's a crazy soprano, and singing as a man as a woman. But for many years, I was on the road in Chicago as Mary Sunshine, so I can do that. I didn't think there was any way I was going to get it - it was so far out of my comfort-zone.” ThinkingMenWayYearsI CanCan DoCrazyComfortSingingZoneSunshineChicagoMaryComfort ZoneSopranos Author:Max von Essen
“I absolutely never thought I would! But it's something to look forward to in my career. I'm not just the young, leading guy who falls in love, simple and naive. Even just doing Enjolras recently in Les Mis. I used to cover Marius and thought: "Oh, that's simple. What I should be doing." But then when I got Enjolras, I hadn't even thought about it. He's more powerful, sure of himself, a leader. It was nice! It was much harder singing, passionate, declamatory. Which was awesome - and now this!” ShouldLooksYoungUsedGuyFallSimplePowerfulLeaderCareersNiceSingingHarderFalling In LovePassionateLes MisMarius Author:Max von Essen
“The music director, Stephen Oremus, was telling me: "I hope you've done your work." We only have ten days rehearsal. The music is no joke. My solo singing is not that hard. But the stuff I have as part of the choir or as a "Dead Guest" in the second-half... I'm singing some really incredible chorus stuff that I haven't done in a long time. It's extremely difficult.” LongHardDoneStuffDifficultHalfHavensDirectorsTenMusic IsLong TimeSingingJokesIncrediblesGuestsSoloRehearsalChorusChoir Author:Max von Essen
