I clicked on this, knowing full well everyone would say what I'm about to say.

Mark Cohen.

Other than Mark, I'd definitely like to play Seymour in Little Shop. And Jonathan in Tick.. Tick.. Boom!

Lastly, I would like to one day replace Idina Menzel in the role of Elphaba so at the end up act two as I'm standing on a wretched, sad looking platform pretending to fly, I can jump off and kill myself, hopefully landing on whoever's playing Glinda.

Mark Cohen, no questions asked. He's very popular, I guess. Other than him, I'd like to try playing Tommy from... what else, "Tommy."

Hmmm...there are so many....

Creon from 'Antigone'
Lear from 'King Lear'
Hamlet from 'Hamlet'
Henry V from 'Henry V'
Harold Hill from 'The Music Man'
Javert or Jean Valjean from 'Les Miserables'
Mark Cohen from 'Rent'

And probably my number one:
Max Bialystock from 'The Producers'

Curly in "Oklahoma!"
Percy in "The Scarlet Pimpernel"
Bobby in "Urinetown"
Coalhouse in "Ragtime"

there are others, but I am drawing a blank. I know I always say that male broadway characters have the best songs...

Edit: Although I really dislike the "The Music Man" I would love to sing The Sadder But Wiser Girl--so I guess Harold Hill, too.

#1 - Audrey in LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS
Despite the fact that I am male, I have a crazy falsetto in which I can belt like a female and if you closed your eyes, you'd never know the difference, and Audrey happens to fit my falsetto range beautifully.

#2 - Miss Adelaide in GUYS AND DOLLS
I mean, come on. It's Miss Adelaide. Who doesn't love Miss Adelaide??
