I REALLY want to play Nicely too! I also really wanna play Jimmy in Thoroughly Modern Millie! Mark in RENT! Pippin in Pippin or the lead player!! But my ALL TIME DREAM ROLE is Seaweed in Hairspray, yet I am in COMPLETE denial because I am as white as they come! lol :)
"The stage is where I live and come alive and act out all the things that go on in my life. It's not just what I do for a living, it's my shrink and my love affair. No one in my life has ever or ever will kiss me on the mouth like this lover called my relationship with my performance."
I get chills at the vocal collague/jumble when the black male Jim I think, walks into the court room, and I get chills every time the mother sings her My child will forgive me, that ending line....FORGIVE YOU JEW...shudders me everytime.

I want to see Chess, but not with a lackluster book or a copy of the Swedish production but in English.
I want to see Wicked in 2004, 2005, and long beyond.
I want to see Noel Coward's play Hay Fever.
I want to see an Aristophanes play done well. I've no idea which one I'd prefer, but I'd love to see any of them.
While I'm on the subject of Greek plays, it'd be awesome to have a rotating series of productions, changing between Aeschylus' The Libation Bearers, Sophocles' Electra, and Euripides' Electra (which are all very different plays about the same event) regularly. Each could have 3 performances weekly.
More than that, though, I'd like to see more new material.
Oh yeah...it's not actually Broadway, but I'd love to see Martin Guerre performed as an opera somewhere, using Alain Boublil's original French text.
