What part would you be horrible in?

Ha. Here's a question for all of you, inspired by me being really bored at work this morning - What part, that you could feasibly play, would you be wretched in?

Personally, Mother in Ragtime. I would be horrible in that role. Horrid.

Have fun.

I would be a bad Emma Goldman in Ragtime, to stick with the Ragtime theme.

Bombalurina in Cats... or any role in Cats, for that matter. As much as I'd love it, I can't dance at all.

I would be horrendous as:

The Phantom in THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
Carlotta Giudicelli in THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
Glinda in WICKED
Mufasa in THE LION KING

Except for me obviously being a male, I could pull of Christine Daaé in THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. Except for the high E at the end of the title song. It's too high out of my falsetto. But I can sing everything else of hers!

I reckon I would be a fantastically bad Meg in Phantom. Judging by all the Megs I have seen, I just couldn't sing that out of tune...

I would be a terrible Angel in Rent yet I find I'd be a good Albin in La Cage. I also can't play Trevor in Millie (Though I like Jimmy more anyway) my voice isnt ever going to be powerful enough

Anything to high. I'm not a soprano. But give me an alto, tenor, or even baritone/bass part, and I'm there.

Anything that requires a mixing voice - I have no shot!

And Peggy, anything in 42nd Street. No chance...Anything that requires an ounce of talent, count me out.

Anything that involves too much dancing (I'm working on it though)
Or anything where I would have to sing soprano.
I can sing a pretty good alto though (or baritone for that matter)
