Voice parts?

could anyone tell me the voice parts for the leads in FOTR? Thanks in advance

Tevye- Baritone (Bb2 to F4)
Golde- Mezzo (A3 to Eb5) (Although I've seen her played as an alto as well as a soprano...so there is flexibility with this character, I believe)

Tzeital Hodel and Chava are usually classified as Mezzos, but I've seen altos/sopranos play both Tzeital and Chava. The sisters have to sing to about an E in Matchmaker (ahhh actually I'm not sure, but they have to sing into the mezzo-range I believe). I've also seen Hodel played as a soprano.

Motel- Tenor (E3 to Gb4)
Perchick- Tenor (high: E4)
Lazar Wolf- Baritone (high: C4) (This character is generally flexible vocally, though.)

Yente- Alto (F3 to Eb5) (I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this character is also vocally flexible. I'm pretty certain it is not a vocally demanding role.)

Those are pretty much the leads. Hope that helped!

Don't forget Fruma Sarah! Technically, she's a mezzo (B3 to E5, I think), but I played her as a soprano by adding in a few high C's. This part is an odd one; it can either go to a really weak singer, or a really strong one, depending on how you see it.
