Roger in Rent, the Phantom of the Opera (if I could warp genders), a lead in Wicked (solely because I want to have a Sephora makeup line made in my honour), but really, I think one of the best Broadway roles out there is (I know it's not a musical), Catherine in Proof.

Burrs in Lippa's "Wild Party"- most fun to sing
Cal in "The Fix"- most fun to act
Guido Contini in "Nine"- most fun to do night after night

Younger Brother in Ragtime... except I'm African-American. It would have to be a production that played on the themes through race reversal.

I also wouldn't mind standing in for Billy Flynn during "Both Reached for the Gun." I'm not sure that I care to sing "All I Care About" or "Razzle Dazzle."

Hook/Mr. Darling in Peter Pan
Captain Von Trapp (just to sing Edelweiss at the end of the show)
Sweeney Todd
Skaar(sp?) in Lion King

it would all depend on my mood. right now my mood says Carla in NINE. but i think i would want to be Velma in CHICAGO because it was her performance that made me really want to be on the stage.

If I had to choose (I've have a much longer list of 'straight' plays I'd like to do...I find them more challenging), I'd have to go with Caroline Thibbedeaux.

Yes...I'm a white boy...but you did say 'any'.

[B.B. Wolf]

Posted: 7/30/04 at 1:30pm

Enjolras(Les Mis); Sid Sorokin(Pajama Game); Don Quixote(La mancha); Billy Bigelow(Carousel); Anthony(Sweeney); The Phantom(Webber or Kopit's); The Russian(Chess); and Albin in La Cage even though I'm way too young for both it and several of the roles listed above. But, gay or straight, who DOESN"T want to sing I Am What I Am in front of a receptive audience!?! That song RULES!
