I've gotten a lot of joy out of most of the stage work I've done whether big or small. Most specifically, I had a blast as Freddy Eynsford-Hill in "My Fair Lady" and as the Cowardly Lion in "The Wizard of Oz", specifically.

Lovettespies- I played Zaneeta too, and LOVED it! Who would have ever thought there was so much character in such a small role? I spent the whole 8 weeks of rehearsal working on different "Ye gods!"
And, someone else was talking about The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, which is funny because I'm assisting directing that right now...my first shot at AD. Last year I was the musical director of the Christmas show @ my theatre, so I've been doing staff for two years, and for a 17 year old I think that's pretty cool :)
I played Kim Macaffee in BBB over the summer, and though I know a lot of people don't like that show too much, I have such an amazing time! It was so fun!
I was in The Wiz and played various roles, and I loved that. My favorite was a Winkie...it was very awesome and powerful.
I did JCS this past spring and played a disciple woman and all that good stuff, leper, etc. But my favorite part was one of three Glam Girls in Herod's Number. We wore black "velma kelly" wigs and acted like Jessica Simpson. It was too much fun.
I did Oliver! a while back and was in the Who Will Buy quad, and that was amazing.
None of the others stick out. I'm 17, so I haven't had that many huge roles. Just the normal teenage stuff...Kim, Ariel, Liesel, etc.
Great post, btw!
but most of all i yearn to be astonishing...

My absolute favorite role so far has been "Chip" in ON THE TOWN.
What an amazing score... I'll never forget singing "Some Other Time" on closing night - all four of us just cried the whole way through it. ::sigh::

As for musicals, I loved playing Roxie from 'Chicago' (the dancing was fabulous!), and Belle from 'Beauty and the Beast'. I also had a blast playing Ariel in the Disney show (at DisneyWorld) 'The Voyage of the Little Mermaid'. I don't know if I would play the part again, but I also had great fun playing 'Cinderella' in 'Cinderella.'
As for non-musicals, I have many more favorites...
Jenny - "The Shape of Things"
Rosalind - "As You Like It"
Hermia - "Midsummer Night's Dream"
Maggie - "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof"
Emily - "Our Town"
Amanda - "The Glass Menagerie"

Creon, in the international tour of "Antigone".
Performed that show for a year, ending our run with a week-long engagement at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Best time of my life.
Also, Martin Heller in "Angels in America", directed by Oscar winner, Milton Justice.

Hmmm....hard to name just one....
Cliff in CABARET---emotionally challenging and my first real dramatic lead.
Terry in SIDE SHOW---loved singing that music and working with Bill Russell.
Zach in A CHORUS LINE---I got to be an a-hole to everyone and then dance in that finale.
Rocky in THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW---probably the least restrictive costume and best entrance I will ever have!

Posted: 11/2/04 at 2:31pmJosephine in H.M.S. Pinafore, Edith in Pirates of Penzance and though I didn't have a lead and was just the 1st Bridesmaid, I had a swell time doing Trial By Jury. Hmmm. Perhaps I've done too much Gilbert and Sullivan.

The most fun was Ray (the flambouyant gay priest) in Party.
The most meaningful was John Merrick in The Elephant Man.
The most challenging was the Stage Manager in Our Town (very different from my natural personality.)
One I'd like the chance to do again is John Proctor in The Crucible.

Damn Yankees- Ensemble, Had one talking line, taken away from me. Had a 6 word lyric solo in a song, taken away. Nobody in the production liked me. I wasnt mention in the program. Any dance steps that the chorus messed up, was blamed on me.
It was soo much fun-------------NOT!
