Debra Sue in Bye Bye Birdie, my first and breakout role. 3 lines, backup singing, and screaming. Nothing can compare to that!

Tito Merelli-Lend Me a Tenor
Joseph-JATATD

There are my favorites for a musical and a play
(Joseph might be replaced if I get the role of Cervantes/Don Quixote this fall...that role is amazing to me)

Annie in Annie.

And I sang I'm The Greatest Star from Funny Girl at my school, does that count as saying I was Fanny Brice?

About four years ago, playing Barnaby in Hello, Dolly! There is just something about playing the stupid one. It helped because both I as Barnaby AND our Minnie were blonde. =)

Jonathan---Arsenic and Old Lace (creepiest part I have ever played)
Danny---Grease
Bran Allen---Pillow Talk
Charlie---Brigadoon
Pat Gilbert---State Fair

And of course, Harold Hill---the Music Man

and WORST part ever?

Tony Brokhurst (a.k.a The Boyfriend) IN The Boyfriend.

Yay I love this question.
Oh, and real quick, I just wanted to say Im new and hello! Ive been going to the boards for months but didn't start posting til now.

Ok:
Nancy- Oliver. My favorite.
Dorothy- The Wizard of Oz. This was my absolute dream role because Judy Garland is one of my idols.
Miss Hannigan- Annie
Rosie- Bye Bye Birdie
Gangster- Guys&Dolls. Sometimes it just rocks to be chorus.

Oh and worst just for the hell of it: Maggie- A Chorus Line. I swear, I wanted to shoot myself.

Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz was my all time favourite.
And Sleeping Beauty. I'm such a fairy tale girl.
Laurie Morton in Brighton Beach Memoirs was a hell of a lot of fun too.
I've got Bianca/ Lois Lane coming up, and I'm SO excited!
Mitzi in Crazy for You and Lulu in Cabaret were also fun, I'm a dancin' girl

WORST---Tinman in 'The Wizard of Oz'

I LOVE the Cowardly Lion and Scarecrow (I've played him too), but I find the Tinman so stale and by far the most boring of the three

Action in West Side Story - that was a good time
