mine is either Billy Bigalo or John from Desperados (a very unseen show with GREAT songs and characters)no no no
Ann from Desperados is the best ever character, a maternal ex-prostitute who now cares for the showgirls

Posted: 12/27/04 at 8:24pmThe best characters are Eponine from Les Mis and Millie Dillmount from Thoroughly Modern Millie.

The Emcee in Cabaret... hands down.

Way too hard.
At least limit it down to individual musicals/plays!

Posted: 12/27/04 at 8:32pmI will agree with QM on this one - Emcee.

Eponine. Who is unable to relate to her in one way or another?
Also, the Baker's Wife from Into the Woods. She's strong, smart, determined, and yet has weaknesses as well. She's a real person.

Posted: 12/27/04 at 9:38pmJesus, that's hard. Either Maureen or Mark from RENT, I guess. (I want to act the role of Mark, there's a bit of a problem seeing as I'm female though, haha.)

Rose in Gypsy. Fo' Sho'!
Gypsy was the first musical I ever saw and at six years old I'd sing "Some People" on the kitchen table and demand to be called Rose.
#19re: Fav Character EVER
Posted: 12/27/04 at 9:57pmA few favorites... Fanny Brice, Miss Hannigan, Don Quixote/Cervantes, Bloody Mary, Mrs. Lovett, and from a more current show, Max Bialystock:)
There's always room for pathos - and jazz hands.

Posted: 12/27/04 at 10:17pmIt's a tie between Roger DeBris and Carmen Ghia. I think they can count as one, since they're a couple.
