Eponine has always been my dream role. I'm just enchanted by the music from Les Mis every time I hear it. And Eponine is one of those "tough on the outside, but hurting on the inside" characters that I feel I can relate too a lot of the time.

Another one is Star-to-Be in Annie- just to stand center stage with two suitcases and singing about the most amazing city in the world...eee- awesome.

And- just ensemble in 42nd Street because tap dancing is the best type of dance out there- its so magical!

Maureen in Rent
Elpheba in Wicked
Millie in TMM
Penny in Hairspray
Audrey in Little Shop
Mama Rose in Gypsy
Reno Sweeney in Anything Goes
Dolly in Hello Dolly
Roxie in Chicago (though I've played Mama Morton and that's fun too!)
Shelley in Bat Boy (I know its offbroadway, but who cares?)
And
Susan in Tick Tick Boom (again, off-Broadway, but I want to play it anyways!)

And if I was a man, I'd DESPERATELY want to play Mark in Rent! I can sing all the songs in his range now anyways...damn gender biases!

FANNY BRICE! hands down! ...or if anyone ever did a play about Lucille Ball's "I Love Lucy" character. You should see my "Vega--meata-vitamin" when I've had too much "hooch".

I would love to play Lily Garland in "On The Twentieth Century" or The Witch in ITW, Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney, and Charity in "Sweet Charity" (story of my life).

Of course, I can't sing.

And that Y chromosome thing is a bit of a problem.

My list is short at the moment -
Cervantes in Man of La Mancha
Hook in Peter Pan
Judge Turpin in Sweeney Todd
Sweeney in Sweeney Todd
Skar (sp?) in Lion King
Any role in any Sondheim show.
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!" Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

Eponine in Les Miserables. I've dreamed of playing her since I was 10, when I used to put on a bathrobe and a baseball hat and rub pencil lead on my face and sing along to the Complete Symphonic Recording. This is a role that I know I could do justice to, and I would kill to have a chance to play her someday.

Maureen- RENT
Elphaba- Wicked
Narrator- Joseph
Sonia- Godspell
Velma- Chicago
Mary Magdalene- JCS
Kate- Zanna Don't
Susan- TTB
Mimi- RENT
I have my books and my poetry to protect me...
