The Official "brag about your best roles" Thread :-) — Page 4

I'd kill to play:
Riff in West Side Story (and I almost got the chance to...but my parents made me go on vacation opening week)
Tommy in Tommy (I'm doing the show, but I am a freshman, and seniority always gets the lead role)

For musical, Jimmy Smith in Thoroughly Modern Millie. Our Millie was a fantastic singer, and learned alot from her throughout the process of rehearsals.

For straight plays, Johnny Cade in The Outsiders. Loved it! The audience loved it. He's such a strong character and was fun to get into character with him.

Vocally, I was really nervous to be cast as Frederick in "Pirates of Penzance."

But I worked my butt of and, consequently, kicked butt. =)

(And my range grew TONS as a result of singing that stuff!)

Helga in Cabaret (So much fun, but my parents were less than happy. haha)

Well I think my favorite role would be Young Ebenezer in Scrooge. There were three scenes which covered meeting Isabelle, falling in love with her, and loosing her. It was so much fun to get to show the audience why Scrooge is the way he is. It was also such a challenge though because if I didn't do it right, the audience wouldn't feel bad for Scrooge. That was a really fun and challenging role.


Other favorite roles have been Friedrich in the Sound of Music, a Cagelle in La Cage Aux Folles (even though i blew out my knee on tech night).


And right now im in rehearsals to be a Shark in West Side Story. So that is gonna be really fun.

I had a BLAST playing Vera Carp in Greater Tuna. More recently, I played Teiresias in Antigone, which was a great character part, and right now I'm Meredith Parker in Bat Boy, which is turning out to be my favorite role yet!!!

i also got to play annie with another theatre company! she was soooo much fun to play!

Costanza - Enchanted April (The role is entirely in Italian)
Seargant - Pirates of Penzance
Dorothy - Wizard of Oz
The Flowering Tree - The Lotus of the Heart (folktales from India)

The last one is from my high school where we did experimental theatre. the character was actually a girl who became a beautiful flowering tree so that her mother and sister could sell her picked blossoms of extra money, she then falls in love with the prince, but his sister was jealous so she ravaged the girl while she was in the shape of the tree, because of that she wasn't able to return to full human form until the prince found her again and married her.

Reno Sweeny in Anything Goes... I have never had so much fun in my life!!! I had a new costume every time I went on stage, and we had a huge rotating set with the band sitting up top in sailor uniforms. They hated it of course, but it was perfect. Seriously, that. was. insane.
