#1: Mary Poppins in "Mary Poppins".
Laura Fairlie or Anne Catherick in "The Woman in White".
Of course, Christine in "Phantom of the Opera" would rock.
Cosette in "Les Miserables".
Guenevere in "Camelot".
Eliza in "My Fair Lady".
Male roles?
Enjolras in "Les Miserables".
Sir Percival Glyde in "The Woman in White".
Sir Percy in "The Scarlet Pimpernel".
The Phantom in "The Phantom of the Opera".
King Arthur in "Camelot".
Tony- West Side Story
Marius- Les Miserables
Fiyero- Wicked
Although the last time I checked I am male, I would love to do Miss Mazeppa. And I have been told that I AM Vera Charles.
Regardless of gender? That would be an endless, so here's just female roles.
1) Maureen -Rent (or Mimi but I'm pale with blond hair and blue eyes so one that won't happen)
2) Lady of the Lake -Spamalot (I swear I was born for that role)
3) Susan -Tick, Tick...BOOM!
4) Either Glinda or Elphaba -Wicked (please don't hate me for that)
5) Kate Monster/Lucy the Slut -Avenue Q (But I have no puppeteer experience)
+ several more
Okay, so that's 7 roles, and all fairly predictable and unoriginal, but what can I say? Those are all such great roles to me. Elyse. No day but today.

Another vote for Marius in Les Miz, along with:

Bloom - The Producers
1. Mark in RENT (where I a boy, this would be ideal)
2. Christine in DRS
3. Elphaba in Wicked
4. Amneris in Aida
5. Seymour in LSoH (again, the whole fact that I'm a girl gets in the way
Velma Kelly- I'm a soprano and not a dancer. This would never work out.
Maria in WSS- I get teary hearing the overture. It is one of my all time favorites and Maria's songs are so beautiful.
Cinderella or the Witch in ITW- I'm definitely more Witch than Cinderella but never the less. . .
Mama Rose- Who doesn't want to be Mama Rose?
Janet in RHS- I love this part.
Elphaba - Wicked (You know you want it too.)
Amneris - Aida
Cathy - L5Y
Maureen - Rent
Kate - Lippa's The Wild Party
Eponine - Les Mis (My dream role since I was 8.)
Add Tevye to my list. I can't believe I forgot that one.

Any of the male roles in The Producers would be fun.
