What are some roles you've always wanted to play but never had the chance? Here are some of mine:
- A Drag Queen (Either Hedwig or Frank N. Furter)
- A criminal of some sort
- A person going through a nervous breakdown

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

I've always wanted to play Aldonza in MAN OF LAMANCHA.
By the way, Lizziemonster - Hunyak is innocent in both the stage and screen version of CHICAGO. Tina Paul (original revival) was amazing in that role. She gave me one of my many favorite moments in that show during the overture when she walks out center stage and stops and just stares at the audience and then abruptly dances upstage. Fab-u-lous! Interesting side note, Graciela Daniele was the original Hunyak and Fosse would ignore her completely. She would approach him looking for notes, responses, input etc, and he would just stare at her and walk away. She finally broke down because she couldn't take it anymore and asked what she had done to render him being so cold to her and he replied that now she knew what it felt like to speak and plea from the heart and have no one understand you. Brilliant!
