What was your favorite play/musical you yourself have been in? — Page 2

Once On This Island - Andrea - It wasn't the role so much as the incredible show itself, the amazing ensemble cast and superp choreography. I miss that show like I've missed no other show!

Also, My Fair Lady - Eliza Doolittle - It was a blast to get to dress up and tackle such a challenging role! SOOO much work, but worth it!

I just did a little melodrama version of cinderella that my husband wrote. I was a stepsister! It was fun to be the bad girl. And, we sang Strongest Suit from Aida. It fit perfectly! That's me as the stepsister in my icon.

i loved playing seymour in little shop.

Was anyone ever in a show that just totally confused the hell out of them? For A Midsummer Night's Dream, my drama teacher had this idea to have it take place in a department store, and the fairies be mannequins. To this day, I understood the script, but I still don't understand the concept of how it was being done.

favorite school show:
Scarlet Pimpernel...Marie

favorite community show:
Godspell...Joanne

ahhh so hard to choose!
Straight play: Brighton Beach Memoirs (Laurie). This was one of the first straight plays I did and it was a huge learning experience for me. Plus, the small cast was amazing, and the show got incredible reviews!
Musical lead: Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. I know it's pure cheese, but it was a childhood dream come true! hehe.
Chorus: toss up between Cabaret and Crazy for You. Both were wicked shows to be a dancer in!

*edit* JOIZEY: I felt the same way about BBM, in terms of the family and the learning experience!

joeyjoe - is that the director who wanted to practice alone with you in the previous season?LOL.....
Mine, as I have stated a bazillion times - is Don Q/Cervantes in Man of La Mancha. I've played it several times now and hope to continue playing it until the day I die...its such a moving and positive experience (both for the performers and the audience).

Jesus in Godspell was a blast.

Narrating 'Rocky Horror.' I take it as an honor that I was considered by FAR the most inappropriate and offensive part of the show.

I think Charlie Cowell in the "The Music Man" was my favorite because I am so NOT like the character, so I got to be someone completely different for a while. Hugo Peabody in "Bye Bye Birdie" was also fun, but that wasn't too much of a stretch for me.

Okay, I was only in three musicals in high school, Hello Dolly, My Fair Lady and Brigadoon. I loved Brigadoon.

BRIGADOON is a highly underappreciated musical.

I have only been in one musical.......OKLAHOMA and I played Fred? Who's Fred? Exactly!!!!

I was in TAMING OF THE SHREW this past spring. I was Gremio (the old pervert pedafile). That was a fun character to play. I got to be old and have a pimp cane. I also had the best/funniest scene in the whole play. Let's just say that audience was rolling on the floor.......and no.......not THAT floor.

I was in two musical revues in college two years ago. In the revues, I was the title character and Andre in the PHANTOM OF THE OPERA segment, John the Baptist/Judas in the GODSPELL segment, sang the solo on "The Proposal" in the TITANIC segment (LOVE that song), Linus in the YAGMCB segment, and so on.

But the favorite still goes to Gremio.
