Bare with me for a second.....

Lets just say someone could put you in the 3 musicals you would die to be in. Which 3 would you chose and why would you chose them?

Annie
Gypsy
Hello, Dolly!
Thoroughly Modern Millie (I had to be difficult and add a 4th choice)

Why? Because they are my favorite Broadway Musicals; and they are what I associated Broadway with when I was growing up (well, with the exception of TMM which is new). Although Wicked is one of my new favorites, I don't really think I would want to be in it.

Evita- I was born to play that role
Avenue Q- Because it is so unique and challenging
Annie-playing Hannigan because its a fun show and a fun role.

do we get to choose our roles as well, or just to be in the show?? I'll do both...

TO BE IN THE SHOW...
The Fantasticks...just for the pure magic & simplicity of the show.

Sweeney Todd...that score has some amazing chorus stuff in it. and to be able to sing another Sondheim score would be fantastic.

A Chorus Line...if i was a dancer!! i friggin love this show, that's why!!

TO BE ABLE TO DO ANY ROLE IN A MUSICAL

Matt in The Fantasticks...see above!

Charley Kringas in Merrily We Roll Along...for no other reason than to be able to perform "Franklin Shepard, Inc." What actor woudln't give his left nut to be able to sink his teeth into that song that?!

Billy Bigelow in Carousel...again, that lush score, the role has so much meat to it that, unfortunately, not a whole lot of roles have, and 2 little ditties that you may have heard of...I believe they're called "If I Loved You" and "Soliloquy."

I would be the lighting designer for The Lion King, AIDA (any Disney show), and any other fun shows that require TONS of color!! I love color and intelligent lighting.

Kinda hard to choose only three but..

Les Miz- Eponine
Thoroughly Modern Millie- Millie (or Miss Dorothy)
Wicked- Glinda or Elphaba (probably Elphaba)

And if I could add a 4th one, Belle in Beauty and the Beast, hehe. =)

Seymour in LSOH - I could play it honestly without the cartoonish quality
Rooster in Annie - Because I am just that mean. Acting? Who's acting?
J. Pierpont Finch in How to Succeed - see Seymour entry above

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Hum...this is a toughie....

I think I'd have to say:
RENT-Maureen-a good story with great music
GYPSY-Momma Rose-Just because it's Momma Rose
WICKED-Elphaba-the story is good, and the technical aspects are amazing!

Most of these aren't realistic because of racial casting but hey you never said realistically play...

Aida-title role(I love the music and her parts are so intensely fun to sing. I've also mastered the emotion of "Easy As Life")
Rent-Mimi(I've examined the role to no end and I think that I could actually bring some acting to it instead of just great singing)
LSOH-Audrey(first show I ever saw live and I've always loved the role)

Eva Peron- Evita

RENT, Les Mis, Sweeney Todd, A Chorus Line, Jekyll and Hyde, and LSOH... THE CHOICES!

"The stage is where I live and come alive and act out all the things that go on in my life. It's not just what I do for a living, it's my shrink and my love affair. No one in my life has ever or ever will kiss me on the mouth like this lover called my relationship with my performance."

Throroughly Modern Millie - Millie Dillmount

Chicago - Roxie Hart

Oh... look at the precious... Its Orlando Bloom, my delicious little crumpet!

Luisa in Nine (because she is me--serious and ever patient, she gets incredible numbers, and it's just an incredible show!)

Baker's Wife in Into the Woods (because she is so multidimensional and gets to make out with princes )

Gypsy Rose Lee in Gypsy (because she goes from being the shy one to the brassy stripper)
