  • Stephanie J. Block, who recently starred as Reno Sweeney in "Anything Goes" on Broadway, joins Seth in studio for a chat. Their discussion about her "pretentious" middle initial segues into her latest Broadway endeavor playing the title role in "The Mystery of Edwin Drood." Then the sparks fly! New to the "Drood" score, Block insists that her high belt note in "The Writing on the Wall" is a G, while know-it-all Rudetsky insists it's an E. The heated battle results in Seth literally hitting the floor and Block tapping out a medley of her "Pirate Queen," "Anything Goes" and "Wicked" hits.

    You're right. E6's not a whistle tone, and it's definitely a head-voice placement. =)
    Such a hard note to hit, though... (It's the ending note in Phantom of the Opera -- the song -- so it's ridiculously high. I can only manage it once in a while, and only if I'm really warmed up.)
