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!

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.
