Mary's Voice Part?

Would you say Mary is an alto, mezzo, or soprano?

Furthermore, what other female roles are there in the show and what do they entail?

Mary is a Soprano

Mrs Banks I would say is a Mezzo

Miss Andrews is more alto in tone, but does go fairly high. to an F(octave above middle C) I think.

Bird Woman - Alto
l'élégie de printemps

Mary is definitely a soprano. She hits a high soprano C at the end of Brimstone and Treacle Pt. 2.

Mrs. Banks is probably a mezzo, although her timbre in most recordings seems more soprano-like.

Miss Andrews has a very alto tone quality, but she does hit a high A!

As for the Bird Woman, she's probably an alto.

Yeah, so basically what I said... Confused
