I know many of you actors have always wanted a role in a show and have also said, I really really want to do this part:
Tell us about it.
Me= Although I am a male, I would love to be, even a voice over for Ursula in The Little Mermaid. I love her character and that song "poor unfortunate soul"
Actually, there are alot of female role I would like to attempt like:
Addapearl (The Wiz)
Wicked Witch of West (Wizard of Oz)
Witch (Into the Woods)
I guess I like Witches
Male roles:
Frank-n-furtur (Rocky Horror)
Riff-Raff (Rocky Horror)
Scarecrow (Wizard of Oz)
Applegate (Damn Yankees)
Symore (Little Shop)
Baker (Into the woods)
I am actually auditioning for Into the woods
next week, so maybe this role will be on my DONE list!

Update:
Nov 3, 2004
I was casted as RUPPUNZEL'S PRINCE in INTO THE WOODS
so the BAKER is still a role I want!

I would so like to be Sancho in man of La Mancha. I just really like the character: the perfect sidekick ... never usurps the star but can still steal the show...

There's such a long list, and I'm not even including my straight play dream roles, but here are the highlights:
Sweeney in "Sweeney Todd" (you can tell from my icon)
Javert in "Les Miserables"
Jekyll/Hyde in "Jekyll and Hyde"
Booth in "Assassins"
Rutledge in "1776"
Molina in "Kiss of the Spider Woman"
Fred/Petruchio in "Kiss Me Kate"
As you can see, I'm drawn to the darker characters! There are tons more, but these are the ones I want most. I'm also excluding roles I know I could never play or wouldn't be right for, i.e. The Phantom, which is too high for me.

Posted: 10/18/04 at 12:31pmOh, of course! I forgot Henry Higgins in "My Fair Lady" and Harold Hill in "The Music Man"
