CHRISTY IS SUCH A LEGEND I AM SO PROUD TO BE AT HER HIGH SCHOOL ❤️❤️❤️

[@mrslias11]

As a singer, I have to admit, sustaining a belt is one of the most releasing/satisfying feelings ever.. any other fellow vocalists agree??

[@choeurgospeldedouala]

Right? When you found that right placement and you took enough air, you have that out of body experience where you just ĺook at yourself sustaining the note as long as you want. So Pleasing!

[@srinblmlmlke]

Orlyland 90 exactly I just did this today

[@nicolasgralewicz4727]

I sing showtunes and rock/metal. Today I was singing 18 and Life and did this super long run at the end that peaked at a G5, I was so in the zone I didn't even think about how high it was and BOOM! Meanwhile I choke up on the A#4 in Made Of Stone because I'm like "Oh no! Important note! Better not mess it up!". Then I sing Through The Fire and Flames or some MCR song that goes as high or higher...not sure why Made Of Stone stresses me out so much...

[@LuisSanchez-ir4ov]

As Baritone I though it was imposible for me to kick high notes after learning how to belt... I feel like a white Elphoba whom can sustain high notes for hrs

[@allisonyoung9371]

Who needs drugs when you can chase the high that is a sustained belt that no one will ever hear.

[@zel9502]

it is SO satisfying to see a good belt with good vibrato

[@BlueLucario98]

I actually got the privilege to meet Christy Altomare and John Bolton of Anastasia a week before closing. I asked Bolton about how they received so many awards in everything except for the Tony’s, his response, “The Tony committee didn’t come see our show, they probably sent...1 or 2 representatives throughout the voting season. They didn’t see us because they assumed it was just another princess musical.” Honestly that’s just sad, because Anastasia outlasted almost every show from that Tony season. Gotta love it!

[@starrkid9232]

BlueLucario98 It’s not shocking, because Christy absolutely deserved to get a Tony nomination and I never knew why she never got one.

I was lucky enough to see the OBC of Anatasia. I have the signed--Ramin, Derek, Nicole, John, Caroline, Christy--playbill hanging on my wall. It's one of my most treasured possessions.

It is so hard to do without running out of breath but I've done it a few times 👌🏼

IKR!!!

[@dayosinghs6299]

Can we just admire how relaxed these actors and actresses look? They’re making it look so easy!!

[@eithne.g]

I think it’s because it’s easier to belt when your face is relaxed cause there isn’t any tension. So they’re probably all as stressed as we are watching it but just can’t show it 😂

Wow! All of those actors make belting look so easy, and I'm so proud of all of them! 👏🏻 I also have a favorite Broadway belt song that is not on this list. Fun fact: That song was supposed to be in Hamilton, but it wasn't because it didn't fit with the 18th century style. It was more classic Broadway style, but I still love the song with all my heart. And it makes me want to go to New York City. The song is called "Cheering For Me Now" with music by the legendary legend, John Kander, orchestration arranged by the amazing Alex Lacamoire, and lyrics by the one and only Lin Manuel Miranda. And Lin's belts at the climax give me absolute chills and sometimes I start weeping. Even though I'm a girl, that song is so hard for me to sing without running out of air, because I have to hold a lot of notes. But I've actually held the notes before, so I'm used to it. And the song turns 3 years old in two days, and I'm so excited! Soon, I'll be belting like CRAZY and I'll post an acapella cover of me singing the song on Instagram soon.
