Well, I think. I'm so damned noncommittal. It's a beautiful role - so much depth, and meaning on such a plethora of levels... that was always what left me thinking most after the show.

I like the Villains Iago and Richard III.
Oh, wait, do I have be like almost everyone else here and choose characters that have only been around in the past twenty years?

Posted: 12/28/04 at 1:43amEasily, Hedwig from HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH. The most complex, unique and yet wholly identifiable character I've ever encountered in a musical.

"Goodness is rewarded. Hope is guaranteed. Laughter builds strong bones. Right will intercede. Things you've said I often find I need, indeed. I see the world through your eyes. What's black and white is colorized. The knowledge you most dearly prized I'm eager to employ. You said that life has infinite joys."

Some people stall when they can't see the trail/
Some people freeze out of fear that they'll fail/
But I keep rollin' on/
Some people can't get success with their art/
Some people never feel love in their heart/
Some people can't tell the two things apart/
But I keep rollin' on

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

Well, though it may be rather impossible to choose just one, I shall attempt to contribute:
Bloody Mary- South Pacific
The Witch - Into the Woods
Prof. Hill - The Music Man
Sweeney Todd/Mrs. Lovitt - Sweeney Todd
The Emcee - Cabaret
Angel - Rent
Eponine - Les Miserables
Audrey 2 - Little Shop of Horrors
Come to think of it, a majority of those charactors, while they're not my favorites, are just important charactors that stand out to me.
