Posted: 12/22/05 at 9:42amI'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.

Posted: 12/22/05 at 11:10amWell 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.

Posted: 12/22/05 at 12:32pmMy 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.

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??

Posted: 12/22/05 at 12:45pmOklahoma 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.

Posted: 12/22/05 at 1:17pmOh 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!

Posted: 12/22/05 at 1:35pmThe 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.)

Posted: 12/22/05 at 2:20pmHeh, 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.
