Impossible Dream Roles:
The first male homosexual Amneris. (Can't you picture all these Abercrombie and Fitch models wavin around their clothes while Im shirtless singing? YES!)
Velma....Chicago
Baker's Wife....Into the Woods
Jesus.....Godspell (I'm a lyric baritone. DAMN YOU TENORS!)
The Narrator.....Joseph and the Amazingetc. (I can't believe how sexist directors get over this role. A MAN CAN PLAY IT! And someday, I will be that man. You'll see)
Cathy......The Last Five Years
Elise......The Last Five Years (I could be the shadowy figure in the bed next to shirtless Norbert! hehehe)

Possible Dream Roles:
Baker, Narrator,Witch......Into the Woods (I want to be the Narrator more than the Baker ever since I saw the revival. He had one of the best roles up there. And those of you about to say "THE WITCH IS A FEMALE YOU MORON!" Billy Porter almost became the Witch for the revival so hush!)
Radames......Aida
The Balladeer.......Assassins
The Narrator.......Joseph and the Amazingetc.
Jaime......The Last Five Years
Sweeney,Tobias......Sweeney Todd
Act II George (not Act I, Act II is better).......Sunday in the Park w/ George

Link or Edna from HAIRSPRAY.

If I'm not mistaken, the Narrator in JOSEPH was originally male. There may even be a recording of an early version (the show has many incarnations) with that casting. I remember reading once when the role began to be switched to female, but I have seen very interesting productions with male Narrators.

Keep up the good fight!

god Flae! You really want to get into my pants that badly? Baker's Wife? Luisa? Daisy can be our child in Act II Start practicing Daisy Coo-ing and being held by a Witch during Last Midnight.

ROTFL! I already have the coo-ing down... don't you remember my "Call From the Vatican" my bambino?? *pinches your fevered little brow*


Coo-ing. Ha! Seem-pal!

Hehe.

I was mentioning that to Flae coincidentally.

"Daisy can be Carla ONLY and if ONLY she acts out the things she wants to do to me. " I'm glad we agree on that!
