Yeah, lots of weird gender bending. Like I said, Roger from Rent, Judas from JCS, and John from tick,tick, BOOM! Maybe Billy Bigelow from Carousel, too, but nobody these days knows about him. That's a cool role with lots of singing. Yeah, but I am a guy and those are some roles I would like to play someday.

Are you saying that I will never play:

Rose in Gypsy
Louise in Gypsy
Tessie in Gypsy
Madame Armfeldt in Night Music
Desiree in Night Music
Joanne in Company
Phyllis Rogers Stone in Follies
or
Mavis Parodus Bryson in The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window?

I can play them if I find somebody to bankroll them....

I'd LOVE to play Tracy Turnblad in Hairspray. But 1) I'm too tall and 2) I don't weigh enuff. I suppose I could use a fat suit, but they height would still be a problem. It would be a blast though, there's so much energy in that show!! Then again, I'd give nething to play any part in Hairspray, lol.

If I was a different race:
Sarah in Ragtime

Audrey II in Little Shop of Horrors. Although a plant has neither a gender or a race, the role is so incredible when performed by an African-American male (ie the wonderfully talented Michael Leon-Wooley). This would be so much fun!

Oh yeah...I realized reading through this thread that Coalhouse is another dream role of mine...but kinda unattainable due to me being a small Jewish guy. Hah...dammit I would even love to be Sarah form Ragtime....but instead I will forever be stuck playing Mother's Younger Brother ( a GREAT role still) and maybe when I am older Tateh.

Oh man, there are so many.

Emcee in Cabaret (wrong gender)
Charlie Brown in YAGMCB (wrong gender)
Carmen Ghia in The Producers (wrong gender)
Mistoffelees in CATS (wrong gender, and no way will I ever dance like that)

I don't know if I can name all the roles...I'm sure I'm forgetting some.

...I should just get a sex change.

I agree with your sentiments completely...I could belt the hell out of both those roles if only i was black or...well...green (and female)

Velma/MAMMA/Mary Sunshine - CHICAGO (I'd be the hispanic/physically fit Mary Sunshine!)
Girl on the Swing/Girl in the Yellow Dress- CONTACT
Cassie/Morales/Sheila/Mike/Paul - A CHORUS LINE(Only Paul and Mike would work in my favor here)
Dorthy Brock/Peggy Sawyer - 42ND STREET
Annie Oakley - ANNIE GET YOUR GUN
Maria - WEST SIDE STORY
Mimi/Angel - RENT (Angel,YEA!)
Donna Sheridan/Tonya - MAMMA MIA!
Edna - HAIRSPRAY (I'd be again ~ Similar to mary sunshine, Physically fit/Hispanic Edna)

Ok that's enough! I'm a gay male and I'll just keep dreaming on! LOL
