People don't usually know how to respond to this (or even know who the character is, frankly) - but I strongly relate to Fosca from PASSION. Just her obsessiveness over Giorgio and intensity and particularly reading to escape her reality (I use Broadway for that) really remind me of certain parts of my personality. Kinda sad, I know.

Whoa, that came out a lot more candid than I intended. Oh well.

Metaphorically and cause I have played him and number of times: Horton

and maybe also Nicely-Nicely Johnston from Guys and Dolls

I don't know. I think someone needs to tell me. Is there a gay, hopeless romantic, frustrated-with-being-successful-yet-single Broadway character out there? Come to think of it, I guess I'm a blend of Rod and Kate Moster from AVENUE Q.

Some odd mixture of Peter and Nadia from Bare. Oh and though I kind of loathe saying so because I feel so cliche with my choices, definitely a huge amount of Mark from Rent thrown in there. "Halloween", or at least the message of it (obviously not the specific lines about characters), explains or applies to a lot of my life.

I feel like I already responded to this thread, but
Dot from Sunday in the Park with George.

I am (most definitely) an ingenue, so I have to say...
Cosette from LM or Christine from POTO...
Cosette, because I am exactly her age, I am very close with my father, he and I take walks together all the time (helping the poor as well), but on the other side, he controls most of the things I do, much like JvJ- I also have my own garden, but that's another story... besides from the fact that I can sing the part and I am physically suitable for it.
Christine because, as I said, I am closer to the wide-eyed ingenue than other character-roles, and she's also very close to Cosette.
Although, I can't understand why so many girls relate to Eponine! Her family hates her, she's a street child, she wears clothes that most of the girls who want to be her would hate wearing, and she doesn't get the man she wants- I really like her character, but unless your family abuses you, you don't stay at home very often, you don't attend school, and you have an unrequited love for someone, you can't completely relate to her...

Edna Turnblad in Hairspray --- Now, I'm not a 300lb mother nor a man in drag; however, I've felt a major connection to this character. For several years, I was afraid to leave my house. I would literally leave to go to school, come home, and become a hermit. Nevertheless, I've overcome whatever fears I had about the world around me and really have broken out of my shell.

Natalie from "Next to Normal". Not with the crazy, hallucinating mother, of course. But just her general state of mind, of feeling like she'll never live up to something and always being placed second.

Bobby from Company

and

The Phantom from The Phantom of the Opera and Love Never Dies.

dragonlp86--me too, but a in a much, much more manageable way. However, I do play the piano (and have since I was five). I also relate to most characters' stories in A Chorus Line (especially Diana's) but I haven't reached the trying to be successful at this as a career point of my life.

Mary Flynn, although I handle liquor much better than her. I'm very much the cynic.

Bobby from Company. What a real character.

Amalia from She Loves Me, Johanna from Sweeney Todd (just the neurotic part of her, not the living with a creepy guy who raped her mother part), and Kate Monster.

Nessarose. I was favored when I was little but now that my sisters and I are in our 20s, I'm definitely the one who screwed up all the plans for my life.

Diana-Next to Normal (right now)

Emcee- Cabaret

I'd say there's a lot of Kate Monster in me. Also, Wendla in SA in that she's very naive and vulnerable. I'd throw in a little Marian Paroo, too.

Definitely Elphaba. Which is also the name of my pet rabbit. I also am a little like Maureen from Rent (not just because of Idina, it's really who I am).
