She is basically the whole show. Belting each song and acting that role is tough

SO much singing through the whole show. Lots of sustained notes.

Just came off a run as Mrs. Lovett. Not sure how BW performers managed 8 shows a week!! OH MY GOD that role is SO demanding- vocally & physically!!

It makes even the best coloratura sopranos nervous.

Author here. Mama Rose is definitely a challenge, but it’s not contemporary as per the title.

Even from a male perspective after performing a full concert as Mama Rose for 7 times a week, that role is tough as hell! First, some people (that Rose belt at the end is lower than my range!) Then, Everything’s coming up Rose’s (those continued belts, you need bottles of water after that.) And with all the yelling and shouting around rose’s turn, I actually made it my mission to storm through craft services on my way back on stage, drink water and then sing rose’s turn, do my monologue go back through craft services, drink something stronger 😉 and then go back for curtain call. If you are ever offered Rose as a part (even in community theatre or as a standy or understudy.) Take it! But make sure you drink tons of water!!!!!! I couldn’t speak for a week after my last show. I had to keep stopping during my curtain call speech. Rose is fun and loud, but it takes its toll on your vocals ladies!
