If you could play ONE role on Broadway........ — Page 4

keeping in mind i am a total cheater
the wedding singer: standby for robbie hart and glen gulia
-or-
rent: male swing (u/s mark, roger, benny, collins)
ave q: male swing (u/s brian, nickie/trekkie, princeton/rod)
wicked: swing (u/s fiyero, dillamond, wizard, and morrible*)

*with the bulk of that costume and the makeup, i think a male could play it, and give the most terrifying "wiiiiiiiicked witch!" speech this side of alma cuervo

Eponine.

Cliche? Totally.

Firstly, it's impossible to choose...

Secondly... I'm going to have to break it down into categories (and I can't even narrow it down to one in each!)

Musical: Judas in JCS (would totally work with a girl)
Clara in Piazza
Florence in Chess

Play: Maggie in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing

On Broadway now: most definately Mark.

I'd also LOVE to play Curtis Taylor, Jr in Dreamgirls, but, alas, I don't exactly fit the physical criteria for the role.

Hands down, no question, Cathy in "The Last 5 Years." Absolutely adore that role. Of course, if cast, I would have to get my ass down to the stage door at DRS and beg (on my knees) Norbert to be my Jamie.

This is easy enough. I'd choose Eponine for multiple for reasons. For one thing, it's one of my dream roles to begin with, for several reasons. My Broadway/London idol, Frances Ruffelle, played this role, and I want to follow in her footsteps. Also, I adore her character in the book, 'cause in the book she has to endure much more than an unrequited crush on Marius, and I admire her for that.

For another thing, if I pulled it off it would lead to the teenage masses wanting more from me. That way, I wouldn't have to play more than one role on Broadway. To cement my fame, I would then play Elphaba in Wicked when I came of age even though "Wicked", although it's fun enough to sing in the car, is just an average musical. Then, I would be free to do as I pleased, including playing Mrs. Lovett in (another) revival of "Sweeney Todd". It's a sure-fire way to success, don'tcha think?

Oh, speaking of which. . . .


I've ALWAYS wanted to play a female MC. Always.

Adelaide in Guys and Dolls

Javert in Les Mis.

I'm a very short teenage girl. But i can dream...

o wow..hmm

my number one choice i think i would go with Jo in little women her character is totally similiar to me, and my vocal quality is quite similiar to sutton foster.
but i would love to play mimi-rent or elphaba-wicked just because i think mimi's charcter is quite exciting and riskay..and elphaba's range is so impressive i mean hitting a high e-flat belt in defying gravity to a low e in not that girl..who wouldnt want to play elphaba? lol
seriously though, gimmie the female lead in about any b-way musical and that's the role i'd play ha, ha

Kim in Miss Saigon, although I'm 5'11" and blonde so I'm not sure how that would work out...

I have a few:

Mary Lane from "Reefer Madness"
Sally Bowles from "Cabaret"
Julia Sullivan from "The Wedding Singer"

if I had to pick one...The Wedding Singer. Just because it would be the most fun to be a part of.

ROGER DEBRIS!
