What Broadway show.....

Posted: 1/5/05 at 7:34pm

If you got to be in some broadway shows which would u be and why? What characters? I'd say in Wicked I'd love to be Nessarose. In Boy from Oz, I'd love to be Liza Minelli. In Aida, it'd be Princess Amneris. And in Phantom of the Opera it'd be Meg Giry.

Hmmm, this is a great question.
If I were a guy I would LOVE to be Albin from La Cage.
But, since I'm a girl...
Christine from Phantom
Mimi from Rent
Belle from Beauty and the Beast...that's #1

And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps... What did she realize, Kitten? That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs. What's wrong with that? Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had... Where? On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.
