"Because what is more like love than the ocean? You can play in it, drown in it. It can be clear and bright enough to hurt your eyes, or covered in fog; hidden behind a curve of road, and then suddenly there in full glory. Its waves come like breaths, in and out, in and out, body stretched to forever in its possibilities, and yet its heart lies deep, not fully knowable, inconceivably majestic."

Well...
Darryl Van Horne - The Witches of Eastwick
Ian McShane murdered this role in the Original Cast at Drury Lane (listen to the CD for proof, it sounds painful!) but Clarke Peters nailed it completely! I'd love to do it simply to get to sing "Glory of Me" and "Dance with the Devil"
Jonathon/The Warm up man/Satan - Jerry Springer The Opera
For "Grilled and Roasted" mainly, but just so I could do the Jesus and Satan Spat moment... Not only that, such a juicy role!
Seymour - Little Shop of Horrors
If it was oppositte Ellen Greene, I'd be in heaven!

edenespinosalover,
No, it's not weird...I've played the Narrator in "Joseph" twice before. Fun role. Don't forget that it was originally sung by a male.
