3 Musicals You Would Be In

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?

~*BroadwayBaby*~

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.

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."

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

---

Harold Hill- "The Music Man"

Sky Masterson- "Guys and Dolls"

Joseph- "Joseph and the Amazing Tech. Dreamcoat."

if i have to choose another one another role i would want is

Jekyll-"Jekyll and Hyde"

the emcee from cabaret
nathan detroit from guys and dolls
and the guy in les mis who dies on the barricade holding the flag just cause it would be cool to die on stage holding a flag and laying accross the barricade

Phantom of the Opera
42nd Street
Chicago

These 3 because I just love them!! =-D lol

---

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)

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

Maureen-Rent
Eponine-Les Miz
Louise-Gypsy

I think I could be in CHICAGO, FOSSE & HAIRSPRAY and probably as the featured dancers!
My CHICAGO the musical group!
