But does he have Mad Cow Disease?
He doesn't eat beef - but cows skating? - oh please!!!

I've done the Wizard of Oz four times, but never cast in the same role (3 of the times was with the same theater spread over a 10 year period, so they were conscious not to cast me in a role I had already played).
Alice in Wonderland three times - twice as an actor (once chorus, once as the duchess), once as a director
I am currently rehearsing for my second go-around in Joseph and playing a wife for the second time, but there aren't a lot of other female roles in that show so that was to be expected.

Interestingly enough, I played the role of Uncle Chris in both the standard and the musical version of "I Remember Mama." The musical version has a lovely score, Richard Roger's last, and Uncle Chris actually has a musical death scene!!! :)

how can you do HONK 4 times? I love theatre as much as anyone and would love to do as many shows as I could but 4 times in HONK would make me question my sanity.

I played "Huck" in 2 different productions of BIG RIVER back to back. It nearly killed me! The first production was at a dinner theatre down south while the follwing one was in a large regional theatre up north. As "Huck" you never leave the stage, work your butt off, lose lots of weight, and then find "Jim" getting all the accolades! LOL.

I was in two high school productions of Bye Bye Birdie. When I was in 7th grade, they needed a younger kid who could play the son/Kim's sister and the year after I graduated high school, they did it again and had four graduates come back as the barbershop quartet.
I was also Victor Valesco in a high school production of Barefoot and then played Paul in a college production.
The only role I've played twice was Scrooge. My college did an annual performance of "A Christmas Carol" and I played Scrooge my junior and senior years.

Godspell twice, the "Bless the Lord" character.
Guys and Dolls. The first time, I was 15, and I played one of the Salvation Army people (Agatha). It was my first professional show (gotta love dinner theater in NJ), and my first show with my uncle, who's been an actor longer than I've been alive. I was a substitute for one night, I almost fell off of a bench I was standing on while dancing in "Sit Down, you're rocking the Boat", and I got paid $50. I bought a dress with my first professional paycheck. The second time was the next summer, and I was Sarah Brown, my favorite role to date, and I hope to get to play it again someday.

I played Prez in two separate productions of The Pajama Game. I also was in two productions of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. However, I was a different brother each time. The first time I did the show I was the brother who sang "One More Angel in Heaven" and the second time I did the show I was the brother who sang "Those Canaan Days" (with a nice French accent!) :)

In my town's nativity show, I played baby Jesus twice (when I was 6 months old and again when I was a year and a half) and Joseph when I was 13 (with my baby brother as Jesus). That kinda counts.
Literal tacos! Sheesh. Y'all are nasty....

JOSEPH... twice - 1st time was modeled after the original Broadway production, I was Judah (no solo) and the 2nd time was taken from the '90s Donny Osmond revival version, I played Issachar and the Baker!
..SUPERSTAR! 1st time was one of the worst productions of the show EVER and I was Herod. The 2nd time was modeled after the new DVD and I was, again, Herod. I did my cartwheel/split in both productions, but at least the second time i didn't have to wear a black feather wig and pink boa around my ass and sing over TAP dancing back-up singers! OY!!!!
A role I would love to play again would be Horton in SEUSSICAL!
And my favorite role EVER, which I've played twice and would kill to do again and again....
Reverend Mother in NUNSENSE A-MEN! The first time I was just Reverend Mother. The second time I directed/choreographed and played Rev. I'm directing NUNSENSE this summer and I am BUMMED that I won't be able to get back in the habit again! (The theater is making me do the all female version!)
