I would LOVE to be 'The Witch' in INTO THE WOODS, however, I was yet to be allowed to read for the part.

Anyone have similar experiences with other roles?

"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."

as of late, I would be KILLER as the female lead in Kiss Me Kate or The Taming of The Shrew. I now hate men. And maybe Amneris. Men are jerks.

I think you've made very good suggestions there, Miriam. I'd also make a very good Nurse in ROMEO AND JULIET and Yente in FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. (I actually played Yente in a rehearsal of FIDDLER when the woman who had been cast in the role took ill. I had a ball and I think the part was "a perfect fit"!)
