Bobby, Sweeney, George (I'm counting both as one, possibly cheating), Hapgood, Toby. No particular order except for number one. You are all shocked, I know.

Sweeney (Benjamin Barker.) He certainly has the most "meat" of any of his characters. Pun intended.

The Baker as far as being an audience member and for sentimental reasons.

Bobby if only beause he gets to sing BEING ALIVE.

Pseudolus because he is just so damn fun

Toby. Talk about shock factor...

...and Georges. He gets to MOVE ON.
