What Broadway Character Do You Relate To and Why?
I think I relate to Man in Chair from The Drowsy Chaperone because I get all obsessive and start dancing to certain songs and singing with the actors. Except I mostly do that to Avenue Q. I even use my hands to make puppets, unless my penguin or Lambchop puppet is close by. I do it to other shows too, it's just that I know the most songs from that one. Plus, I get to use my Lambchop. I even useit for Altar Boyz.

What about you?

Boq, Wicked: He's a bit dorky, a bit obessive but over all is a great guy with a good heart and intellgence. All of which I can relate.

Charlie Brown, YAGMCB: He's a bit of an outcast, but he knows where stands on things and has his friends and wouldn't trade them for anything, also he's very determined. I'm extremely determined and won't give up. I also have my friends, and I wouldn't trade them for anything.

Natalie, All Shook Up: She longs for more than just the small town she lives in, she dreams of big things, as I do.

Marian Halcombe from THE WOMAN IN WHITE. We may be different sexes and 20-30 years apart in age, but we both sacarfice so much for our loved ones, and we both are prone to not "getting" the people we love. Basically being cast to the side for the more "popular" people.

Not exactly Broadway (not even off-Broadway), but Gracie from Flight of the Lawnchair Man/3hree. I'll love anyone familiar with the show.

I love Maria. :) I have also thought of myself as Tracy from Hairspray and a little Leo Bloom (cause we're both such nerds). I can see Maria though.

Tracy - Hairspray
especially in 9th grade (I'm a senior now). Skinny people can be mean.
Amnaris - Aida
Sometimes people think I'm a ditz and sometimes I don't see things coming, but I mean well. And plus I'm a fashion freak!

The Chaperone -- I very easily get bored with everyone and everything that's going on. And I'm usually the one plumbling around the bar with a sticky martini glass.

Plus, I think we all have our inner Man in Chair in some way.

Prettylittlepicture, I have the CD of 3hree! And since you mention it I can relate to Jerry in that show. You know, no one really believing in you but really going after what you want.

Princeton in Avenue Q. "I can't pay the bills yet, cause I have no skills yet." :P

And Belle. Bookish and adventuresome... she's always been a favorite disney heroine of mine.

Definitely Elphaba in Wicked. She inspires me so much. I have always had "obsessions" - my current being Wicked/Broadway in general, and a lot of people don't get it. I could go into a whole essay about why I identify with Elphie, but I think you get the picture.

Charles J. Guiteau.

For my delusions of grandeur. (...god, why did I say that? Now I'm picturing Denis O'Hare singing Defying Gravity. Neil Patrick Harris could have been his Glinda, and then the Assassins revival would have stayed open for 1 million years.)
