The Baker's Wife from Into the Woods (maybe 'cause I want Joanna Gleason for my mom)
Marmee from Little Women (maybe 'cause I want Maureen McGovern to be my mom and sing me to sleep with Days of Plenty)
Fantine from Les Miz
Clara from Passion (though she's not a mom, she's so warm and loving)
Rose Stopnik from Caroline, or Change
And naturally, Mama Rose.

The RENT 'mothers' are amusing.

breakingthecircle- Clara's a good one. Add her to my list too!

Madam Rose, of course. And I'll add in the Witch from Into the Woods. Bernadette Peters is a goddess.

Aunt Eller - Oklahoma
Albin/Zaza - La Cage
Miss Hannigan - Annie

(Now that I know this, I'm going to start working on my Father's Day list right now)

A NEW BRAIN!!!

"the music still plays on" just gets me.

[apdarcey]

Posted: 5/8/05 at 8:34pm

obviously the mother of all mothers is MOTHER, in ragtime.

[Elizabeth_DeBris]

Posted: 5/8/05 at 8:38pm

OnTheAisle: *raises hand* I said Aunt Eller! I didn't even THINK of Albin, though. Which is just... sad, in my case.
