They're all male roles and mostly from 1776 -
John Adams, Edward Rutledge, John Dickinson.

Otherwise, Christine from Phantom (I'm decidedly not an ingenue)

I can't think of any others.

Mark - Rent
Elphaba - I don't have the right range to be able to hit some of those notes that get belted out
Tracy - Hairspray

I could probably think of more but my brain isn't exactly on "function" mode right now.

Zyla: I'm with you, sweetie! If we're starting in on straight plays (especially Shakespeare) I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to play Hamlet. I guess that would sort of be possible, though. I mean, I've done Polonius, and for Hamlet I could just tape my chest and wear a wig (or cut my hair, whichever). : )

I agree with ShbrtAlley44 about the male roles in 1776. I would also LOVE to play Charles Guiteau. These are sadly hindered by my femaleness

If Percy Blakeney were in Les Mis....

Percy: Sink me! If it isn't Javvurt!
Javert: Zsah-vair, it's pronounced Zsah-vair.
Pecry: But it's spelled J-A-V-E-R-T Javvurt.
Javert: Repeat after me Zsah...Zsah....
Percy: Oh! Zsa-Zsa! Like the Gabor sister! Well I personally have always prefered Eva.
Javert: (Looks for gun)

If I could tap...Peggy Sawyer.
If I could sing soprano...Christine Daae.
If I were a man...Georg Novak in She Loves Me.
If I were a fat man...Nicely Nicely Johnson.
If I had a fat chance in a frozen hell...Elphaba. What I wouldn't give for entrance applause.

CLAUDIA: LESTAT (say what you want but it's an awesome part. Sadly I'm not ten and blond, not to mention the show isn't around anymore.

JUDAS: JCS (Not a guy. But I have heard of women playing the role. Also I'm not a screamer, belt rocker)

Amneris (Aida)... I love roles that start out funny but develope to become more and more serious during the show!
And "My Strongest Suit" should be a lot of fun to perform!

Dodger in Oliver
Gavroche in Les Mis

I guess those little orphan boys just have an appeal for me.

And Lucy in Jekyll and Hyde or Sally in Cabaret. I'm a little young at the moment. There are others of course that I'll think of later.

I would LOVE to play Mark in RENT but, I'm a girl.

I would like to be Glinda in Wicked but, I'm not blonde and I would look teribble blonde.

Clara in Passion for some pretty obvious reasons.
