Eponine has always been my dream role. I'm just enchanted by the music from Les Mis every time I hear it. And Eponine is one of those "tough on the outside, but hurting on the inside" characters that I feel I can relate too a lot of the time.

Another one is Star-to-Be in Annie- just to stand center stage with two suitcases and singing about the most amazing city in the world...eee- awesome.

And- just ensemble in 42nd Street because tap dancing is the best type of dance out there- its so magical!

Maureen in Rent
Elpheba in Wicked
Millie in TMM
Penny in Hairspray
Audrey in Little Shop
Mama Rose in Gypsy
Reno Sweeney in Anything Goes
Dolly in Hello Dolly
Roxie in Chicago (though I've played Mama Morton and that's fun too!)
Shelley in Bat Boy (I know its offbroadway, but who cares?)
And
Susan in Tick Tick Boom (again, off-Broadway, but I want to play it anyways!)

And if I was a man, I'd DESPERATELY want to play Mark in Rent! I can sing all the songs in his range now anyways...damn gender biases!

I would love to play Lily Garland in "On The Twentieth Century" or The Witch in ITW, Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney, and Charity in "Sweet Charity" (story of my life).

Of course, I can't sing.

And that Y chromosome thing is a bit of a problem.

Eponine in Les Miserables. I've dreamed of playing her since I was 10, when I used to put on a bathrobe and a baseball hat and rub pencil lead on my face and sing along to the Complete Symphonic Recording. This is a role that I know I could do justice to, and I would kill to have a chance to play her someday.

Maureen in RENT because she's just so cool and gets to sing such awesome songs, like Take Me or Leave Me. She's been my dream role since I was 9.

Sonia- Godspell
Velma- Chicago
Mary Magdalene- JCS
