So what about the guys then? as one myself i always feel as if i stick out!

And yet the current Phantom in West End is one and i can think of a few on the London circuit over the years esp Scots (like me!) However not so popular a look is it?

See this is why Mark Cohen should always be played by a redhead (like me! )

Thanks everyone for the mouth kisses--I know it's about your love for Jesse(Coneybear) TF----
You know Jay Reiss was also a redhead-- granted the color has faded but check out Circle in the Square faux middle school's lobby and see Jay Reiss' bar mitzvah photo---Now that's a redhead!!!
And how have we overlooked Victoria Clark?????

What about Jennifer Hope Wills? She is a talented Red Head. But my favorite Red Head of all time is Bernadette Peters.

Because Michelle DeJean is on tour with Chicago?

Oddexoticcreature.... I saw Julia around town quite a bit in August of '04, as a blonde roughly a year before the start of Lennon so I'm assuming that she was blonde before they asked her.

Michelle DeJean is amazing. Her Roxie is simply fabulous. You can be gay or straight, but you can't help to notice how damn sexy she is up there (As Roxie or in the ensemble.)

Thankfully Michelle's getting more success. Headlining the CHICAGO tour.. I can't wait for her to get other big roles.

I've said before, she is almost the obvious choice to replace Sarah in DRS as Jolene.

I'll be the first to admit Michelle's a total babe....

Not to mention an absolute SWEETHEART! One of the most amazing, kind and giving women I've ever had the pleasure of knowing.

Kate Baldwin is another one. I also love Jennifer Hope Wills and Carolee Carmello...beautiful NATURAL redheads...all three of them. Many of the other ladies, although incredible, are not real redheads...you can tell just by really looking at them.

yeah...Jennifer Hope Wills is a red head...and Brooke has a redhead wig in WT and so was Kate Baldwin and n Nancy Anderson and now Cynthia Nixon is going to be on Bway...but she is naturally a blond...even tho famous as a redhead...will she be blond in "The Rabbit Hole"?

As a natural auburn-head, I say...

Put me on Broadway. Problem solved.

Just kidding. But really, I think being a red-head definately adds a certain je ne sais quoi to any role. Too bad a lot of directors don't see that.

Julia has said that she went blonde for the show, not because she wanted to. However, the blonde she went for the show was, "WHOA! BLONDE!" as opposed to light brown or highlighted, so it's possible that she didn't consider her previous color "blonde".

I'm pretty sure Susan is a natural redhead, considering she's Irish and all.
