Dream Roles

Okay, so, let's talk REALISTICALLY. Who are some characters you would love to play--that you could also be cast in? (So think realistically...Unfortunately, it shrinks the playing field, cuz I'd love to play Elphaba...but let's face it. I'm a boy.) Any roles! Musical or otherwise.

Mine are:

-- Younger Brother in RAGTIME
-- Mark Cohen in RENT
-- Romeo/Mercutio in ROMEO & JULIET
-- Jamie in THE LAST 5 YEARS
-- Monty/Preacher in VIOLET
-- Fiyero in WICKED
-- Hal in PROOF

Eh, those are just a few.

YOUR TURN!!

I'll try not to ramble on and on...

--Don Quixote/Cervantes in MAN OF LA MANCHA
--Sweeney Todd in SWEENEY TODD
--Jimmy in THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE
--Peter in BARE: A POP OPERA
--Rodolfo in LA BOHEME (does opera count?)
--Princeton/Rod in AVENUE Q

That's my simplified list, though I'm stretching it a little with the last two...I can't get a high C for Rodolfo and lord knows I can't operate a puppet for the Avenue Q roles lol.

Mme T in Les Mis (in a few years)
Lucy in Sweeney (same)
Florinda/Lucinfa in Into the Woods
Stepmother in Cinderella (in a few years too)
Ernestina in Hello Dolly (same)
Customer in LSOH

(Can anyone else think of character roles that don't sing?)

i think it might be fun to play a drag queen...isn't Passions about a drag queen?

Or maybe the lead guy in Kiss of the Spiderwoman...my exboyfriend used to sing a song from that show...can't remember though.

Yes, that's my eye. I took that of my own eye when I was first learning to use my (now broken) webcam a few months ago. Probably around April or May.
