Father in Children of Eden. Great vocals. Minimal stage time and easy character to pull off. Also a killer duet near the end with Noah- The Hardest Part of Love.
What is your least favorite leading role that you have played?
Nick Piazza in Fame the Musical. Such an awful part and insipid songs

Just starting rehearsals for Chaveluin in Scarlet Pimpernel

What is your favorite leading role that you have played? I just played Jenny in Company, and that was quite a fun experience. Currently I'm Mama Euralie in OOTI, which IMO is a bigger role than Jenny, like, she's on more, and she sings a whole lot more. So by the end of OOTI, I think Mama will be my favorite :)
What is your least favorite leading role that you have played? Oh boy. I was a revolutionary in Les Miz, that was basically my first role, and I wasn't crazy about it. I was also ensemble in Edwin Drood, City of Angels (actually part of the Angel City 4) Seussical, and Honk. Ensemble is great, and really important, but in shows like Edwin Drood, I did nothing, really. My one line: "Off to the races!" Weeee!
What is your favorite supporting role that you have played?
I guess Jenny, she's a bit of a lead and a supporting role. I was Fern in a young kids' production of Charlotte's Web many years ago. Don't know what that counts for.
What is your least favorite supporting role that you have played? Um, Lowbutt in Honk. Yeah, name says it all. I was also The Fairy Godmother is the same "little kids" theatre company. The show was the Granny Awards, a play I tried to erase out of my memory.
Have you played a role more than once?
Nope
Who role are you playing now(if any)?
Mama Euuuuuralie
What one role would you play at the drop of a dime?
On Broadway? Elphaba or Glinda in Wicked, Mimi or Maureen in Rent, Christine Colgate in DRS, Penny in Hairspray, and plenty more. But in a theater company production? Millie or Dorothy in TMM, Ti Moune in OOTI, Eponine or Fantine in Les Miz, and once again, plenty more :)

I am under the impression that Ensemble Roles are not Lead, and definitely not supporting...
Nicely Nicely Johnson in GUYS and DOLLS is Supporting
Being a Revolutionary in LES MIS is not

What is your favorite leading role that you have played?
-Winnifred in Once Upon a Mattress. She's such a fun character, but she has so much heart too.
What is your favorite supporting role that you have played?
-Mae Peterson in Bye Bye Birdie, because she's loud and straightforward, but she truly loves her son, and playing the brashness with a softer inside is so much fun. Also, I love Sandy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest... but that's just because I'm in love with our McMurphy.
What is your least favorite supporting role that you have played?
-Domina in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. I felt she was underdeveloped, and that "Dirty Old Man" was a haphazard way to try to make up for that.

What one role would you play at the drop of a dime?

The thing about the roles I have played is that they are soooo not like me:
I have played Mabel (a fat, black woman)
Arvide (an old man)
I was dead in Sweeney
And I was an Yente
The last time I auditioned at Stagedoor I wrote on my audition sheet, "I have played Mabel in fame, have been dead in sweeney, and I have been both and old man and woman in fiddler and Guys and Dolls....can I play a white girl?"
When someone blunders, we say that he makes a misstep. Is it then not clear that all the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill our history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from a lack of skill in dancing. - Moliere

What is your favorite leading role that you have played?
Albert Peterson in "Bye Bye Birdie." I just loved the songs and the cast was really tight knit. I also got to do the last couple of performances as Seymour in "Little Shop of Horrors" when our original Seymour broke his leg.
What is your favorite supporting role that you have played?
The Dentist in "Little Shop of Horrors" because it was probably the most unlike me part I've ever played. I also enjoyed playing the role of Max in "The Sound of Music" more more than I thought I would.
What is your least favorite supporting role that you have played?
Marcellus in "The Music Man" It's a solid part and I love the show, but unless you're Harold Hill, there's not a lot for guys to do in this one.
Have you played a role more than once?
In the play "The Nerd," I was the nerd in both a high school and college production. I've not been in the same role, but I have been in "Bye Bye Birdie" twice: once as Albert in high school and once as the father in college.
Who role are you playing now(if any)?
I auditoned for a community theater production of Oklahoma this past weekend.
What one role would you play at the drop of a dime?
I'd want to be either Nathan Detroit or Nicely Nicely Johnson in "Guys & Dolls" or Barfee in "Spelling Bee."

What is your favorite leading role that you have played? Bobby Strong in "Urinetown" (and Joseph in "Joseph"--- but that's when I was young and thin!)
What is your least favorite leading role that you have played? Sr. Hubert in "Nunsense A-men" (it's not that it's a bad role, it's just that I felt personally very miscast --- seeing as I am not a big black gospel singing nun, and that's how I always have seen Hubert played)
What is your favorite supporting role that you have played? Harold Bride in "Titanic"
What is your least favorite supporting role that you have played? The Specialist in "Tommy" - It was fun to do, but I didn't (and still don't) feel that the way I was directed to do the role fit in with the tone of the rest of the show, and I felt out of place. Plus again, one scene in a 2 hour show. But that's what happens when you do someone a favor. "Chris, we need men ...!"
Have you played a role more than once? Yes, Deputy in "Drood" (again, young and thin ... you can add cute in there, too!)
Who role are you playing now(if any)? None as of now, but I am directing CATS
What one role would you play at the drop of a dime? I'd play Bobby again in a heartbeat!
