If you could play *any* character in a broadway show right now, who would it be? For me, i think i'd have to say either Roger in Rent, Seymore in Little Shop, or any role that calls for a lot of dancing.

My Dream Role is Billy Lawlor. I'd LOVE to play him right now. But Seymour is also an amazing role to play, as well as Jimmy in Thoroughly Modern Millie and ANY role in Hairspray.

The stunning lad in my icon is Gavin Creel- Broadway actor is made his Broadway debut playing Jimmy in Thoroughly Modern Millie. He also performed in Fame and is currently in "Bounce"- a new show by Stephen Sondheim in Washington D.C.

My dream role(s) are Amneris in Aida and Roxy Hart. But I have always wanted to play Eva Peron.

I'm one of those dreamers who still wants to be Christine Daae, or Carlotta from POTO. Then again any role in any Bway show would be just a dream.

My dream role is to "play" the lighting designer for a Broadway show or the stage manager for a touring production. For some reason, I would love to be a technician on a national tour and to become a lighting designer, I probably have to do that 1st. :)

As most people know, my dream role of all time is Dolly Gallagher Levi. However, TWHM isn't playing on Broadway right now (more's the pity!), so my "dream role" of the moment is Edna Turnblad--and boy, oh boy, would I be terrific in Harvey's shoes!

Definitely Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors. I'm so type-cast as nerdy anyways, I'd be perfect. Unfortunately the voice part is a TAD high for me right now, but I'm working on the whole expanding my range thing...

If I could play one character on Broadway, it would be Darren Lemming's shower gel.
