Well, I think. I'm so damned noncommittal. It's a beautiful role - so much depth, and meaning on such a plethora of levels... that was always what left me thinking most after the show.

A work of art is an invitation to love.

I like the Villains Iago and Richard III.

Oh, wait, do I have be like almost everyone else here and choose characters that have only been around in the past twenty years?

I tend to love the smaller comic characters.

Easily, Hedwig from HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH. The most complex, unique and yet wholly identifiable character I've ever encountered in a musical.

Roger and Mimi from "Rent".
Freddie, Florence, and Anatoly from "Chess".
Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett from "Sweeney Todd".

"Goodness is rewarded. Hope is guaranteed. Laughter builds strong bones. Right will intercede. Things you've said I often find I need, indeed. I see the world through your eyes. What's black and white is colorized. The knowledge you most dearly prized I'm eager to employ. You said that life has infinite joys."

The Emcee - CABARET
Sally Bowles - CABARET
Fanny Brice - FUNNY GIRL
Harold Hill - THE MUSIC MAN
Guido Contini - NINE
Rose - GYPSY
Dolly - HELLO, DOLLY!
Peter Pan - PETER PAN
Maria - THE SOUND OF MUSIC

If they're not exactly my FAVORITE, they're DAMN important to musical theatre, and I feel that all of those roles are written perfectly and amazingly.

so many! Marc Cohen from RENT, the emcee from cabaret and any of the characters from yagmcb.

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell plus i proudly share the title of the shortest member over the age of 10 with wickedrentq!

Well, though it may be rather impossible to choose just one, I shall attempt to contribute:

Bloody Mary- South Pacific
The Witch - Into the Woods
Prof. Hill - The Music Man
Sweeney Todd/Mrs. Lovitt - Sweeney Todd
The Emcee - Cabaret
Angel - Rent
Eponine - Les Miserables
Audrey 2 - Little Shop of Horrors

Come to think of it, a majority of those charactors, while they're not my favorites, are just important charactors that stand out to me.

I can't control my destiny. I trust my soul my only goal is just to be
