Tried to delete earlier thread, but I don't know how

What is your opinion on the Top 10 Best broadway Characters of all time (This is a plausible list, btw. Speaking strictly of the actual Characters, not the people playing them) You can just do 10 if you want, if you don't feel like doing 20.

In my opinion (In no particular order)

Mama Rose In Gypsy
Master of Ceremonies in Cabaret
The Engineer in Miss Saigon
Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof
Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom in The Producers (Tie)
Roger DeBris in the Producers
Effie in Dreamgirls
Cassie in A Chorus Line
Eva Peron in Evita
Jean Valjean in Les Miserables
Javert in Les Miserables
The King of Siam in The King and I
Kim in Miss Saigon
The Leading Player in Pippin
Harold Hill in The Music Man
Mrs. Lovett and Sweeney Todd in Sweeney Todd:The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Tie)
Coalhouse Walker Jr. in Ragtime
Anita in West Side Story
Bobby in Company
Maria in The Sound of Music

Why do we have to do top 10? Can't we just do 1?

That would be Queenie in the Wild Party

In no particular order:

Graf von Krolock "Tanz der Vampire"
Madame Giry "Phantom of the Opera"
The Phantom "The Phantom of the Opera"
Elphaba "Wicked"
Professor Henry Higgins "My Fair Lady"
Henry Jekyll/Edward Hyde "Jekyll & Hyde"
Jean Valjean "Les Misérables"
Mrs. Danvers "Rebecca"
Emperess Elisabeth "Elisabeth"
Dan Goodman "Next to Normal"

They're not all from Broadway, but it's hard for me to define my favorites that only made it to the Great White Bay. My tastes may be questionable, but that doesn't change my opinion.
