i know this question is obvious and asked a lot, but i'm bored and curious, so i'm going to ask it anyway. if you could pick one role as your dream role, what would it be?
for me, i would have to say it's officer lockstock from urinetown. i would kill for that part!

One of the two witches in Wicked... Elphaba is a more challanging part for me.
Millie in Thoroughly Moderen Millie.
Mary in JCS
Christine in Phantom
Johanna in Sweeney
Viv in Legally Blonde
Narrarator in Joseph
Maureen in Rent (not that I like girls, just to clear that up)
And those are just the "Big time shows," that's not including the less popular shows.
I'll venture into that another day haha.

As a young soprano, my dream role is either Eliza Doolittle in 'My Fair Lady' or Nellie Collins in 'Floyd Collins'.
If age is no issue, my dream role is Norma Desmond in 'Sunset Boulevard'.
If age and gender are no issue, my dream role is currently Judge Turpin in 'Sweeney Todd', but this one does rotate periodically and could easily be something else in a month or two. ^_^
Wait, are we just doing musicals? 'Cos as plays go, I'd KILL to play Henry V. Somehow. O_O

I just got cast as my number one dream role, Belle.
But once I'm done with Belle, i think it may be a tie between Fantine and Fanny Brice. Or Jo/Beth in Little Women. Or Louise in Gypsy...or Dot in SITPWG...yeah I have way too many hahaha.
But right now, I am perfectly content being Belle!

Mabel in PIRATES OF PENZANCE

My dream role is Jekyll/Hyde. Meaning this is the role I'm aspiring to play at some point in my career.
The part that I probably will never play is Peter in Bare (we're pretty much the same person haha). I just don't forsee many productions of this anytime soon. But maybe.
