I haven't done any plays and I only started doing musicals 3 years ago, but this is what I've got:

Godspell(temptress)(created so there would be a part for dancers)
The King & I(royal dancer/Uncle Tom)
Beauty and the Beast(wolf/gargoyle/napkin)

All of these parts were dancing parts, I've never been one for singing my true gift lies within my feet.

(ROLES ASIDE) my favorite MUSICAL i have ever been in is probably Parade put on in Las Vegas. the role i had was pretty good (iola stover) but thats not why i liked it. the MESSAGE was just so amazing. I havent loved a lot of the cheezy shows ive been in because I dont attach to them like i do to a show like parade... so it was really powerful, and I'm shocked we did it as well as we did.

I'd have to say Beauty and the Beast, and Seussical!

I've done many others, but those were my favorite!

Musical: Guys and Dolls (Fugue for Tinhorns hooker)- it was really great what how the casting worked. For minor roles, it was a kind of reverse type-casting. Except when I'm on stage, I know I'm shy, so here I played a character that can get away with anything and everything, except shy. The way-too-skinny-girl played a pregnant woman for the overture, the "in-crowd" played tourists (outsiders), etc. I thought it was a great idea, and it taught everyone about playing characters that are so far from you.
Play- A Streetcar Named Desire (Blanche DuBoise)- Blanche is devious and horrible, but she's still the main character. Hard as hell to do the characterization right, but once I got it, she was soooooo much fun to play.
