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
