Of the things I'm right for (or will be eventually):
1. Sweeney, "Sweeney Todd"
2. John Wilkes Booth, "Assassins"
3. Javert, "Les Miserables"
4. George, "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf"
(and if I had to throw in a fifth, I'd say Hamlet)

Of things that would be a stretch:
1. Jekyll/Hyde, "Jekyll and Hyde"
2. The Phantom, "The Phantom of the Opera"
3. Biff, "Death of a Salesman"
4. Molina, "Kiss of the Spider Woman"

Of things that I'm totally wrong for:
1. Leo Frank, "Parade"
2. Tony, "The Most Happy Fella"
3. Richard, "Richard III"

The theatre is one of the most expressive and useful instruments for the edification of a country; it is also the barometer which makes its greatness or its descent. A theatre which is sensitive and well oriented in all its branches from tragedy to vaudeville can in a few years change the sensibilty of the people; theatre which has been destroyed, in which cloven hooves take the place of wings, can put to sleep an entire nation. A people that does not aid and encourage its theatre is moribund if not dead; the theatre which does not gather to itself the best of society, of history, the drama of its people and the genuine color of its landscape and its spirit, with laughter or tears, does not deserve to call itself theatre, but rather a place for that horrible thing which is called killing time.- Federico Garcia Lorca
