This thread always makes the beginning of "A New Argentina" hopelessly stuck in my head, where Juan sings, "But they'd all give an arrrrrrm to see us six feet underground."

Speaking of which, I think I forgot to put "Evita" on my list.

The Rocky Horror Show. I've seen girls play my alter ego Frank, why the hell can't I?

PS - Immediately thought "You're very lucky to be invited up to Frank's laboratory. Some people would give their right arm for the privilege." So that may have influenced my answer.

If I actually had the talent to make it on Broadway:

Realistically, I would love to be in "Chicago", though by looking at me, I could probably only play either Mary Sunshine (I had a pretty decent "falsetto" coloratura for Mary Sunshine before I had my tonsillectomy. Now, not quite so much, but with voice lessons, I bet I can get near there again), or Amos.

In my dreams, I would give my male "junk" to play Norma Desmond

taylorPHENOMENON2, I think Rocky Horror subconsiously inspired me to make this thread since I'm performing in it right now haha.
(And if I were a man, I'd give my right arm to be Frank. AND if I were Brad and Janet, I'd give my right arm to see Frank's laboratory.)

"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim

Although, all things considered, I'd prefer to give my left arm, since I'm right-handed. What about my appendix? I don't really need that, right?

The two parts I HAVE to play are:

Fabrizio in The Light in the Piazza
and
James Thunder Early in Dreamgirls

which, it just occurred to me, are like polar opposites. lol.

Also I desperately need to find some experimental director who would cast a man as Evita. Because if there's any part I'm PERFECT for, its Eva Peron.
