Characters You Feel Sorry For

Any characters in musicals that you just want to comfort or hug or something? Whenever I listen to 'The Kite' or 'The Doctor is In' I really feel for Charlie Brown and when Mark sings 'Halloween' (depending on if I am enjoying his performance or not) I want to run onstage and give him a hug. What about you?

Since I saw Little Women yesterday, I will have to say "Days of Plenty." I just wanted to run on stage and give Marmee and Jo a big hug and say "it's ok."

In The Wizard of Oz, she was such a B*t*h,
but I totally felt bad for Elphaba (Wicked Witch of West)
in Wicked.

Balladeer...because he's the cheerful onlooker throughout the show, but when the assassins turn him into Oswald, he's helpless to stop it.
