Big list of young boy (ish) roles/songs pretty please
Hi! I’ve got a talented 10 y/o kiddo (gender nonconforming he/him/they/them, presents pretty masc and assigned male but leans more fem as they age and does connect well with fem/girl characters as well as trad gendered boys) who is looking for more songs to learn. He knows countless adult numbers and many of those sung by female characters. His voice is unchanged. Comfortable in the Elphaba zone with mixed belt, lower register isn’t great when attempting some adult tenor pieces. But we transpose easily so only issue sometimes is a song that spans several octaves. Anyway, mostly looking for songs where character is actually a child or teenager and preferably male or somewhat gender neutral or at least not super girly in the stereotypical ways. But also open to gender bending, songs sung by adult characters that translate well to kids.
Also just for fun, hit me with boy or gender-bendy characters who don’t have full solo songs as well.
Here’s what I’ve got already. So anything in addition to this is much appreciated!!!
