Unless I missed it, I thought Marilyn Cooper in WOMAN OF THE YEAR would be one of the very first posts. Her portrayal of a suburban housewife singing "The Grass Is Always Greener" with Lauren Bacall only lasted a few minutes but won her a well deserved featured Tony award.

LMAO @ "Trix the dominatrix"!

Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia

To add on earlier: every character in Lestat with the exception of Lestat, Armand in the ensemble are in either one act or the other.

The Phone Man in Little Voice (a role I recently played) is only in Act I, Scene I. Such a boring role after that...

I can't think of them by name, but many characters in the play Spring Storm by Tennessee Williams are only in one act. And although I only vaguely know Violet, I'm pretty sure there are several characters that don't reoccur.

Recent Broadway and Off-Broadway:: Carrie, Merrily, Ionescopade

Actually if the show is done as written that actor is on stage a ton, he literally plays every character seen or heard aside from Seymour, Audrey, Mushnik, the Urchins, and the Plant.

"Grease," the fourth revival of the season, is the worst show in the history of theater and represents an unparalleled assault on Western civilization and its values. - Michael Reidel

In the workshop of Dreamgirls, Effie was only in Act 1. Then Jennifer Holliday said "I'm not showing up to belt a showstopper and not be seen in Act 2." So Michael Bennett had to reconceive the show with an Act 2 Effie. But for one brief moment, there was an Act 1 Effie.

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.
