Okay, what's the role you'd think you would have the most fun with onstage for some reason. Not the part you would like to play because it has the most depth or strongest personality, but just cause it looks like FUN! (ex-OMG I WANNA PLAY ELPHAMABA BECAUSE SHE TOTALLY GETZ TO LYKE FLY!!!!)
Little Sally in Urinetown, the Witch in Into the Woods, Fred in Once Upon a Mattress, and anything in Forbidden Broadway.

The Queen in Mattress, Mrs. Mayor in Music Man or Mmme. T in Les Mis. I'm a character actress and those parts are so outrageous and get the laughs.
Edna in Hairspray.

I can't believe no one has said it...the Emcee! Bless everything good and holy, that guy definately has the most fun!
It's got to be a lot of fun to play Peter in Boy From Oz.

YAY! I love this post :)
I would LOVE to play Penny in Hairspray. She's so fun :) I love comedic supporting roles. That's probably my number one, though Galinda and Nessa in Wicked would both be amazingly fun for me.
Little Sally, or any role in "Urinetown," seems like it would be great fun, as would Penny Pingleton.

If you're a masochist, I'm sure playing Peter Allen is very fun indeed. :)
Anyway, I think Rick Lyons' parts in Avenue Q are tons of fun to play- weird voices, outrageous behavior, it's all there.
sally in YAGMCH
G(a)linda in wicked
anything in Mama Mia
the Gangsters in Kiss me Kate
rose or tessie in gyspy
Lulu in CABARET! Maureen in RENT would be fun too. Lulu is my dream role though :)
Alix
Penny Pingleton ofcourse, because she is incredibly funny. Audrey 2(or 1) in Little Shop of Horrors, and Gavroche in Les Mis even though I'm a girl. I've actually seen Gavvy done by a very short girl in the student edition and really enjoyed....so maybe....

Maybe Peter Pan although they're not really letting guys play the part. There are others but I can't think right now.
PETER PAN!!!
TIMON
PAPA GE
Orin in LSOH, or Frank N Furter in RHS. (Isn't it always more fun to play the bad guy?)
I always wanted to play Josh in BIG and finally did last year. It is The Most Fun Part. Aside from the song "Fun", where you get to dance on the big piano keys, I got to jump on a trampoline, jump into a bunkbed, jump onto a desk at the end of "Coffee, Black" (OK, so I think jumping is fun!) Also get to wear a white tux with tails, do a scene with all kids of cool toys in your cool apartment...
I got to do TWO spit-takes! (C'mon -- what's more fun than a spit-take on stage?)
You basically get to run around like a 12-year-old and sing wonderful music!! FUN!!
