Posted: 1/31/05 at 6:24pmI love you, Mom, but you were such a Velma Kelly...but also a Fantine. More a Velma, but she never killed anybody.

As did I! What's scary is... my mom even looks like Velma, with a little bit more weight on her. The whole blonde bitch thing.
Damn my mom scares the hell out of me sometimes.

Posted: 1/31/05 at 6:28pmWhat role calls for a total bitch who sings just slightly but horrifyingly off-key while thinking she's a really good singer? That would be the one.

Posted: 1/31/05 at 6:35pmI'd also have to say Fanny's mother in Funny Girl.
"This is what I trained to do, and this is what I love about theater. What I love about being an actress is being able to really look into myself and understand another human being. And out my own self, to shape and form and fashion a real human being--and to present that in such a way that people see something of themselves or their own understanding in that human being."

Is this based on actual ability, or just who she's like?
If the latter: Kind of a mix between Prudy Pingleton and Mark's mom (I know: not very original, but if the shoe fits...).
If the former: I wouldn't subject her to getting on a stage- she hates performing (and public speaking, crowds...)

The only single mom I could think of (other than Donna- which was mentioned) was Sara Jane Moore in Assassins. I didn't want to offend anyone, and then realized I didn't remember whether or not she was single at the time, anyway. ^^;;
I second Donna in Mama Mia, though.
