If you could go back in time (or it can be a current production) and be the first to play a character in a new, starting production (so revivals are exempt), who would it be?

For example, for me it would be:
original Christine in Phantom--Sarah Brightman
orginal Girl in The Fantasticks--Rita Gardner


Arghh! Grammar pet peeve #1: your vs you're. "Your" is a possessive pronoun. "You're" is the contraction of "you are." <<

I know it's annoying, but Elphaba in Wicked. You see how much Idina is making now?

But for art's sake....

There's nothing wrong with that re: If you could originate any role...who would it be?

The original Effie in Dreamgirls ... but, alas, I am neither female nor african american ... le sigh.

I would also, however, have liked to originate the role of Albin in "La Cage" ... amongst others.

I have NEVER met Cheyenne Jackson. I have never hung out with him in his dressing room, he did not tweet me, he never bought me a beverage, and he mostly certainly didn't tickle me. . .that is all.
