I really can't sing worth anything, but if I could, I would love to play...

*Javert [Les Miserables]
*Carmen [The Producers]
*Audrey II [Little Shop]
*Lucy [Jekyll and Hyde]
*Mrs. Lovett [Sweeney Todd]
*Belle [BatB] <=massive in-joke with my friends because my boyfriend was the Beast in our school production a couple of years ago...and he still doesn't know.

I will never be able to play half of these roles even if I could sing because I'm a girl, but, seriously, I've always thought guys had more interesting parts. Like my mum says, the lower the part, the more dynamic it is!

You must think I'm still sixteen. I dropped out of high school for a reason. And I don't care if you're pretty. I'm not admitting you are right. My soul is not a stage. I won't pretend I'm anything I'm not

If I started a broadway career right now, This is how I would like it to progress as I age.

I definitely would like to play Mark from RENT first. (20-25)
Fiero from Wicked. (25-30)
Franz Liebkind from The Producers. (30-35)
Sweeney Todd from Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. (35-40)
The Phantom from The Phantom of the Opera. (40-50)
The Wizard from Wicked. (50+)
Then retirement.

PS: If I ever actually do have a career that went exactly like this (how I dreamed it would be), then I most likely either had to sell my soul, or give up my first born.

Picking only one? Mrs. Lovett. Except I don't trust myself to be good enough to play that part for another 25 years or so.

Anything where I get to tap dance. I never learned, and now sadly it's too late. But I love the look and sound of a guy tap dancing.

Tevye in Fiddler, definitely Tevya.

Never saw Mary Poppins on B'way and not sure if this role carried over from the film, but if so, then Uncle Albert. I'd have a blast.
