If you could play any part what would it be?

Posted: 3/10/08 at 11:03pm

What if a man could play a womans part?
And what if a woman can play a mans part?

I would want to be Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney, Momma Rose in Gypsy, Wendla in Spring Awakening, Cassie in A Chorus Line, Cosette in Les Mis, or Elphaba in Wicked.

What about you all?
