Opposite sex roles that you would love to play if you could . . . .

Maybe this has been done before but oh well, I thought it would be fun. . . .

Mine are:

Roger in RENT
Jean Val Jean in LES MISERABLES
Jonathan in tick, tick...BOOM!
Emcee in CABARET

Hmmm.

Amneris - Aida (I love "Strongest Suit" and "I Know The Truth", and the character seems really fun)

Glinda - Wicked (Who wouldn't want to make their entrance on a huge metal bubble? Plus its a really great part comedically and has its touching moments as well. Oh yeah, and the whole "Popular" thing helps too!)

Adelaide - Guys and Dolls (Great part!)

Audrey - LSOH (Her character is so excellent and has great songs!)

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

Lily in SECRET GARDEN (those duets!)

Kate Monster/Lucy the Slut in AVENUE Q (those funny lines and "Fine Fine Line"!)

Martha in SECRET GARDEN (those belt songs plus the trio!)

Lois/Bianca in KISS ME KATE (that dance trio!)

Mabel for MACK (for "Heals" and "Ain't" alone)

Narrator in JOSEPH (though it could be a man anyway)

Lizzie in BABY (again, solos AND duets AND trios)

Witch in INTO THE WOODS (great lyrics)

so many choices!

I guarantee that at some point one or both of us will want to get out. But I also guarantee that if I don't ask you to be mine, I'll regret it for the rest of my life..."

You know what? I'd want to play a lot of the power-belting roles if I were a woman, and the parts Wildhorn wrote for Linda Eder. Yup yup. Florence, Eponine, Elphaba, Susan in tick, tick...BOOM!...lots of that sort of part. And Lucy and Marguerite. Great stuff there, sad I can't sing it.

'course, I can't sing a lot of male material either, but I can at least try!
