Posted: 6/23/06 at 1:20amJo in Little Women -- mainly because I totally identify with the character. Then again, I would never do it as well as Sutton.

WORDS TO LIVE BY:
As we stumble along on life's funny journey. As we stumble along into the blue. We look here and we look there, seeking answers anywhere. Never sure of where to turn or what to do.
Still we bumble our way through life's crazy labyrinth. Barely knowing left from right nor right from wrong. And the best that we can do is hope a blue bird, will sing his song as we stumble along.

I really would like to play the man in the chair. I always offer commentary about the actors or workshops while obsessively introducing my friends to musicals anyway.
Mimi in rent would be fun too. So much emotion and energy packed into one character would be interesting to play.

All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever."

I'm the youngest of 6 children and I'm totally overprotected and definitely limited.It's practically my dream role and I'm totally in love with the show.

It is hard to pick just one. If I was a musical theater actress among the roles I would want to play:
Eponine is "Les Miserables," though I would not mind playing Cosette (I think it would be a challenge) if I had the right voice, which I don't.
Sally in "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" (for a fun, light hearted role)."
Lastly, probably, Galadriel in "The Lord of the Rings."

Tobias in Sweeney Todd. I would die happy if I could play this role.
However, Man In Chair would be also a very cool role to play.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

It would have to be Christine in POTO. My given name is Christine because my mother and both of my grandmothers loved the story of POTO in one form or another.
I'd like Michael Crawford as my Phantom and Michael Ball as my Raoul please.

Posted: 6/23/06 at 6:29pmHard to just pick one, but I'd go with Dot in Sunday in the Park with George.

Any Broadway show: Louise in Carousel
Show currently on Broadway: either Belle (Beauty and the Beast) or Beggar Woman (Sweeney Todd)
Upcoming Broadway show: Mary Poppins
Play: I'm not incredibly familiar with plays, but I think that the role of Emilia in Othello would be interesting to tackle sometime.

Posted: 6/24/06 at 8:35amI would want to originate a role that has really kick-ass music and a really layered character.
"This is what I trained to do, and this is what I love about theater. What I love about being an actress is being able to really look into myself and understand another human being. And out my own self, to shape and form and fashion a real human being--and to present that in such a way that people see something of themselves or their own understanding in that human being."
