My son is a baritone and it seems like all the newer musicals have tenor leads/parts. Just wondering if people with sons who auditioned this year had any thoughts about whether it's an advantage to be a tenor? He has a good range (according to his voice teacher it is G2-A flat4 (full) C4-C5 (falsetto) whatever that means - I am not a singer!) and has a beautiful voice but definitely more fitting for the golden age when the lead roles were baritones. According to his school drama teacher he has leading man looks (tall, dark hair and handsome) and he thinks my son is at a disadvantage since he isn't a tenor.
