I second Tateh from Ragtime. I think he's a much more admirable and moral father than Father.

I have a soft spot for Mushnik and Tevye, because after playing Seymour and Motel, I had to have a strong stage chemistry with the actors playing those father figures.

Also Wilbur Turnblad reminds me a little of my dad, so I love him too.

Because I'm completely possessed with Ragtime these days, I shall go solely with Tateh. I can't think of a more unconditionally loving father. Even when he became a successful director, it was still all about his daughter.

I don't know if he's a great father but Alfred P. Doolittle is a great character.

Arnold in TORCH SONG TRILOGY. Although he's more on the maternal side...

Georges (La Cage aux Folles)
Tevye
Billy Bigelow
The Baker
The King of Siam
Jean Valjean

I think Tevye's probably Number 1, for me, though.

Caractacus, Alfred P..

CapnHook, I know you like Peter Pan a lot, but why did you pick Mr. Darling? I've never noticed there being a lot to him.

(Dick Latessa was amazing as such a loving, wonderful father!)

Tateh, Tevye and Mushnik - all Jewish daddies!
