I'm pretty new here, so I don't know if this has been done, but I was just wondering what is everyone's favorite role that they've ever played, or your favorite show you've been a part of.

Forgot to put mine...
...I would have to say Les Mis- Eponine. She is such an amazing character. I'll never forget it.

Tzeitel in Fiddler on the Roof. It was overall a really amazing experience...one of my best friends was Chava, and we became really close to Hodel. I left with a lot of really good memories.

Well I have not been in that many shows to have a great role, but the most fun I have had in a show (rehearsals included) would either be Les Miserables or Crazy for You.

Robin in Godspell. That was the most amazing show I've been a part of and I really liked my character. It was basically being myself with all of my closest friends on stage!

Anatoly in Chess. Not the most well-written show overall, but the score is a blast to sing.

My favorite show that I have ever been in has to be Oklahoma! because we had a very big cast (everyone who auditioned got in) and we had a very good time. Plus, I got to meet Andy Hammerstein, the grandson of Oscar Hammerstein II.

Gonna have to go with either a protean in Forum (we came down from the ceiling on ropes!), Mendel in Fiddler, or Aladdin in a stage version of the movie.

My little town doesn't put on big shows like Les Mis or Fiddler, but here we go:

My very first role is still my favorite: James in James and the Giant Peach. Kind of a lame show, but it was so much fun. The director was a blast and made sure we were always laughing.

Playing Peter Pan was fun, too. Who doesn't love to fly??

Oklahoma is probably one of the most boring shows ever to watch, but I have to agree with Jasobres, it is probably the funnest show I've ever been in. The ensemble really gets to be very active in this show which is nice, and I htink its fun to be in long shows. I was Dream Curly/Slim.

Oh man, I just finished up a production of Grease. I played Marty, it was fun just because the cast was great, but I'm sorry, I hate the show! Ha

The role I've enjoyed playing the most is 'Ugly' in Honk. However, the most challenging was Henrik in 'A Little Night Music' and I got to sing that great song, 'Lately'.
I'd love to play the role of Bobby in 'Company', what a role!

The Dodo in Alice in Wonderland, because it was easily the most fun I got to have on stage, just being crazy. (I haven't had many roles, mind you.)

Heh, it wasn't some big production of it or anything. Just a little children's theater group. Like I said before, I'm from a small town, so I don't have any *real* experience in shows. Just small ones put on by my school or the children's theater group.
