In honor of Pride, I thought it would be appropriate to have a thread honoring those great "Gay" characters.
OK, who wants to start? This should be fun!
"I'm learning to dig deep down inside and find the truth within myself and put that out. I think what we identify with in popular music more than anything else is when someone just shares a truth that we can relate to. That's what I'm searching for in my music." - Ron Bohmer
"I broke the boundaries. It wasn't cool to be in plays- especially if you were in sports & I was in both." - Ashton Kutcher

-Mark (Altar Boyz)
-Albin (La Cage aux Folles)
-Molina (Kiss of the Spider Woman)
I adore Christian Borle and Hank Azaria, so I feel I should add Herb and Lance- as my mother affectionately calls them- from Spamalot. Oh, and Roger & Carmen (The Producers) will always have a special place in my heart.
These sorts of threads aren't good for indecisive people, such as myself...

Prior Walter.
Marvin from "Falsettos" and Roger DeBris come in a close second and third though.
A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.

Molina from KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN gets my vote for #1

Posted: 6/25/05 at 7:30pmMolina from 'Spider Woman' is, I think, the most moving character (of any sort) in the entire musical theater canon.
