If I was older, I would say Martha in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
That seems like a fun role.

Forgot Nessa in Wicked! I hate to be a Wicked head, but it's a great role, I think.
What the puck?!

I thought it said in a PLAY not a musical?
Can't there ever be a thread that does not mention musicals?

If I were male I would want to play Richard Roma in Glengarry Glen Ross. Liev Schreiber is brilliant in the role and it looks like a lot of fun.
If we were talking musicals then I would choose to be Miss Adelaide in Guys and Dolls. I think Guys and Dolls is such a classic and it's certainly a favorite of mine.

Blah, it's almost 3 AM, I gotta wake up early... bedtime, just haven't been able to go to sleep.
Night everyone.

Posted: 8/6/05 at 3:06amI am a male but as for plays - Sister Aloysius in Doubt! And having only seen clips of Pillowman, Mr. Crudups part in the show looks pretty juicy. Musicals - Mark in RENT

Posted: 8/6/05 at 8:10amI love Mimi in RENT. So probably that. Or maybe Sherie's part in DRS. I've never seen it, but I've loved all of the roles she has played. As for plays, I don't really know any of them on Broadway right now.

Posted: 8/6/05 at 8:29amI guess the only character I could play agewise on Broadway right now is Senior Nacarelli. But if I were a woman, I'd definitely want to be Margaret.
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"

In a play, if it had to be one playing right now it would be Martha in "Virginia Wolfe". Otherwise, if I were a lot younger, it would be Catherine in "Proof". In a musical, Muriel in "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels". (Well - she gets Greg Jbara!)
