OK- There have been threads of favorite actors and favorite roles, but what is your favorite featured role in a Broadway show? Personally mine is Andre' from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

Amneris from Aida, Maureen from Rent, Hope from Urinetown (is that actually a supporting role or a lead one? Because I think that Penelope Pennywise or Little Sally are pretty lead too), Emmie from Caroline, or Change, Eponine from Les Mis, Penny Pingleton from Hairspray.

Clumsy dude, i adore the purser. I played him in a show and it was one of my favorite roles ever it was so fun. For the little time on stage he has so many great jokes.

if i go the way the tony committee did...

Clara and Fabrizio in LITP, also Maureen in RENT, Jolene in DRS, Seasons soloist in RENT (esp. if Karmine is singing that part- she is amazing), the urchins in Little Shop... lots more.

o- I forgot the Urchins. They are the best part of the show. More musicals need a greek chorus.

Sara Gettlefinger in DRS. She is on for such a short time but steals the show! OK? L-A-H-O-M-A!

Eponine from Les Mis, Penny from Hairspray, Amneris (though I think she would be leading) from Aida, and many more that I can't think of right now.

Oooh!!! I agree ashley Penny is one of my favorite supporting roles too.

Also I would say Dainty June from Gypsy and Ulla from the Producers.

Smitty from H2$, Bonnie from Anything Goes...can't think of any others I love.

Most definitely Muriel from DRS, so funny but yet such a scene stealer. It makes you ask "What was a woman to do?"
