I would love to sit at a bar with Elaine Strich's JoAnne.

I like Marta and April.
I love all the characters, I couldn't choose just one. In fact, picking two was hard enough for me.

Amy...mostly because I am that crazy.

Well David, because I played him, but mostly Marta because she is like me!
...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

I love Marta, because she gets "Another Hundred People."
...but I'm probably most like scatterbrained Amy.

I love Robert and Amy the best. But Joanne has some great one-liners.

I like David - probably because Fred Rose in the current production is so cute! But he seems sweet and funny. And while I think I am brighter than April, I am *can you have a SPOILER on this kind of thing?* the kind of person who feels bad about/sometimes feels like she is, a wounded butterfly.

Amy all the way! Amazing song. Hot "fiancee". (In the revival)

I love Marta, just for her song. But I identify with Bobby.
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

Definitely Bobby, but I really liked Sarah in the revival. I don't know if it was the character or the actress though.

Sarah and Jenny seem very sweet to me, but I also like Marta and Kathy a lot.
I don't know why people are saying they like David... he's kind of a jerk. In my opinion, anyway... He's so... superior about his wife.
Hey All-For-Laura, what up?

Hmm...it's easy to come up with Joanne and Amy, but...I think I'll go with Larry. What he says about loving Joanne and such after The Ladies Who Lunch is soo sweet.

In theatrical terms, Bobby. (I know, you are all SHOCKED.) But as "people," my favorites are Marta and Sarah -- though come to think of it, I find most of the women really likable.

I really like Kathy - although I think a lot of why I like her so much has to do with Kelly Jeanne Grant. Kathy and Bobby's scene together about the park is one of my favorites.
I recognize the addiction to being alive.

its interesting how the actress who plays KATHY in the revival was able to make such an impression with such a small role.

I agree, I really did like Kathy in the revival. I wish she had more to do.

I adore that scene as well -- it's so sweet, it often almost makes me cry. Raúl and KJG work wonderfully together on stage. Kelly Jeanne's Kathy is so sweet and sophisticated and perfect as the girl that got away, and I think Bobby loves her very much, even if now perhaps platonically. I always find myself thinking that they should (and wanting them to) be together.

Kathy might be the perfect girl, but she's so not right for Bobby. They strike me as very much like Carrie/Aidan on Sex and the City. Sure, he was perfect on paper, but they had such different interests and outlooks that it never could have worked. Even if Bobby could've gotten it together, I can't see him being happy with Kathy.
My favorite character is April, especially as Elizabeth Stanley plays her. I'm not sure why, but I love the scene where she talks about moving to New York, and of course the butterfly story.

Right. I think it's mostly him, not her, (because I think he has some pretty deep issues) but I also think there's a difference between loving someone and actually being right for that person -- which strikes me as the case between those two, especially since he can't get it together. Of course, that part where she tells him she wants real things, like a husband and kids and he tells her that her problem is that she wants "too little," is very telling; she's not bold enough, and not the kind of woman he'd probably be happy with. What I meant by wanting them to be together is sort of sentimental logic, though -- they're just so cute, so I sort of wish they could be, and that it could work out. 
Something about the way he looks at her says he gets that, too -- wishes it could have, knows it can't -- which is really sort of sad.
