Mike in A Chorus Line. My ultimate aspiration (if you couldn't tell by my avatar).
Marius in Les Mis and Jamie in The Last 5 Years are right behind it.

I'd love to play Mark Cohen in RENT
And I don't care, I'll put on a wig or whatever it takes (ok maybe not WHATEVER it takes) but if I ever got the chance to play Eponine in LES MISERABLES, I would not need one second of rehearsal because I know every entrance, every exit, every line, every cue, all the blocking, every time she turns, moves, blinks, breathes, I know it all. And my "On my Own" would stop the show..........because it would be sooooooooo good!
But please dont tell anybody about my Eponine dream shhhhhhhh
