These are both considered to be leads, but certainly aren't gigantic roles...
I could work out for a couple years and then replace Machota as Sky in Mamma Mia!
Or I could get alot of work done and be the first post operative transvestite performer to bring the housr down as Tanya, also in Mamma Mia!
But for all you older show types, I would love to play Big Jule in Guys and Dolls (BWayGuy could be Harry the HORSE)

Well, since I usually get cast in supporting character roles, this is kind of a moot post....but I'll play along....

I would like to be Nicely-Nicely in Guys and Dolls....I sorta look like a black Stubby Kaye anyway....well, kinda...

Others would be:

Joe in Merrily
Roscoe in Follies

hmmm....

Beadle Bamford or Pirelli or Toby in Sweeney

Domina, Hysterium or Erroneous in Forum (already played Lycus)

Zoltan Karpathy would be fun.....(but I think the Bartender has funnier lines)

Nachum the Beggar in Fiddler

Cheers,
The Balladeer

Actually, in my original post i said no principals, which included supporting. Because as we all know that some of the finest written roles are NOT the leads. The original nature was to look at roles that are usually overlooked. (i.e. nimue in Camelot) perhaps the mistress was a bad example, b/c she is the 2nd biggest female role in the show....but, so i stand
