Well. . .I've never really had a big role. . .but I'm trying.
In a childrens theater I played Signore Volpone (the fox) in Pinocchio. But they wouldn't let me sing it baritione instead of soprano (which I could barely squeak out)
But I was in the chorus of "Les Miserables" Student Version when it was professionally produced at the local civic center and this year their doing beauty and the beast of which I'm also in the chorus and you can totally tell I'm bored because I'm droning on and on and on and on. . .

Carlos in The Me Nobody Knows.
We performed opening night for Gary William Freidman (The composer of that show), and I messed up on one of Carlos' long and tedious monologues.
I wish I could play that part again, as I would do it so much better, but, alas I am too old to play a 16 year old.
My fave role was Tom Sawyer in Big River. Though it was not the biggest...Oh wait... I'm forgetting Noah in the Rainmaker and Algernon in Earnest...
It's a shame I'm retiring from acting...I had such fun with these roles.

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive.
"Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot."
"No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one."
Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

James Leeds in Children of a Lesser God - 6 weeks to learn a new language, Jameses lines and Sarah's lines and much of the rest of the cast's lines so you can interepret for them - your voice goes and your hands get sore and your brain turns to mush. I've compared it to learning Russian to play The Seagull in Moscow with an opening scheduled for sometime next week. Then, finally, one day you realize you've been dreaming in ASL. It was like learning the finale to A Chorus Line (Zac) - the soreness disappears and you stop monitoring, are able to be in the moment and it just soars. Unfortunately, this can happen well past opening night.
