Phantom in Phantom of the Opera

Capt. Hook if they would put "Pass the Finger Bowl Charlie" back in. It was cut before Broadway but is a very funny song. I saw it in the tryout in San Francisco.

Bobby.

That's number one, no doubt about it.

After that:

George in SUNDAY
Quixote

on a less serious note:
Roger DeBris in THE PRODUCERS
Anyone in AVENUE Q (It looks like so much fun! It's gotta be tough work, but that adds a whole new dimension to you as an actor.)

re: If you could play any part what would it be?

I'm a sixteen year old girl, but ever since I saw Hairspray, my dream has been to be the first ever woman to play Edna Turnblad! I have no idea why. Naturally, when my favourite human being, Michael Ball, got cast for Edna in London, I nearly died.

Other roles I'd love to play:
Sir Percy in "Scarlet Pimpernel" (you have no idea what this means to me... I was him for Halloween!)
Thenardier in Les Miserables (though I wouldn't mind being Madame Thenardier, either),
Ursula in "Little Mermaid,"
Eulalie McKechnie Shinn in "Music Man"
Skimbleshanks in Cats (don't laugh... I spent recess pretending to be him every day when I was in elementary school. "Cats" was my childhood.)
Anyone in Spamalot
The Balladeer character in Assassins (LOVE that Czolgosz song!)
Carlotta in "Phantom of the Opera"
And... oh gosh gracious, I'd love to be Gaston in "Beauty and the Beast," but I'm a rather small girl, so I'm not sure that would be wise casting. Ditto for me being Count Fosco in "Woman In White."

In my pants, she has burst like the music of angels, the light of the sun! --Marius Pantsmercy

Usnavi/Benny - In The Heights.
Peter/Jason - Bare.
Elphaba - Wicked.
Effie - Dreamgirls.
Audrey II - Little Shop Of Horrors.
Motormouth - Hairspray.
Maureen - Rent.
Paulette - Legally Blonde.
Ursula - Little Mermaid.

Any of which would be most welcome.

My absolute #1 choice is Belle in Beauty and the Beast. I would also love to be Elle in Legally Blonde and Elphaba in Wicked. I would also like to Glinda and Christine but I don't think I could be that operaretic. I guess I could be trained. It would be fun to be Christine because Phantom is such a historical show and its so beautiful, just being in the ensemble would be an honor to me.

If I was a man I would like to be The Phantom or Raoul in Phantom. Lumiere or Gaston in Beauty and the Beast. Also Emmett from Blonde and Fiyero from Wicked.

You're that little girl with her wings unfurled, flying again. Back in your backyard dancing...I found a way back to then. - [title of show]
