I want to play Pippin in Pippin before I get too old, which is happening sooner than I thought.
Algernon in the Importance of Being Earnest. That is such a fun role.
"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive.
"Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot."
"No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one."
Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

Cliff Bradshaw in "Cabaret"
Tulsa in "Gypsy"...and Herbie later in my life.

Jack/Baker/Narrator in whatever future revival of "Into the Woods"

stylinbohemian, I think you mean "Cosette." 
I know I won't/don't have the talent for, but I'd kill to play Amy or Joanne, in Company. Or either of the women in Assassins. Or pretty much anyone, in anything, really. I'm not picky.

"This is what I trained to do, and this is what I love about theater. What I love about being an actress is being able to really look into myself and understand another human being. And out my own self, to shape and form and fashion a real human being--and to present that in such a way that people see something of themselves or their own understanding in that human being."
--Phylicia Rashad

Posted: 3/28/05 at 6:24pmSally Bowles in Cabaret or Dot in SUnday in the park..or even Anne in a Little Night music, or now that i think about it, any major female role in any sondheim show, sondheim is amazing =)

Hah...fine...I'm more of a supporting character kind of guy anyways...with the exception of Seymour from Little Shop, one of my favourite roles I've played. But normally I'm more comfertable with Motel from Fiddler type roles.

I'm not sure I want to play a part but I would love to live in the revival of NINE. All of those amazing ladies, that hot and radiant hunk Antonio, the smell of frankincense and those gorgeous surroundings. That would be my playground of choice.

Posted: 3/28/05 at 8:22pmKinda obscure but I'd love to play Gloria Upson in "Auntie Mame" (not "Mame.") I played her in high school and though it's a small part I loved it.

Alex (Galindafied) and I plan on reviving The Last Five Years. So none of you all can have that one.
Well, we actually plan on being the OBC for it, LOL.
Here's to hoping.
