Your Dream Roles

Posted: 11/18/05 at 2:14am

I did a search to see if a post like this has been started recently, but I didn't find anything, so...

What are your dream roles you hope to one day play (whether on Broadway, in community theatre, college, high school, whatever)?

For me, they are...

- Velma Kelly, CHICAGO
- Belle, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
- Rizzo, GREASE
- Mimi, RENT
- Ado Annie, OKLAHOMA

5. Eponine - Les Miserables
6. Christine - The Phantom of the Opera...I'll admit it.

I did Ado Annie locally a while back. So fun...

I would be all about being Miss Hanagan in Annie. I would love to be able to sing "There I'll stay tucked away til the prohibition of Little Girls!" night after night.
I'm a character actress. What can I say?

ever since I was little I've wanted to be Rolf in The Sound of Music. but like not go all crazy Nazi and stuff. And Will Parker in Oklahoma is something I've always wanted to do just cause I was in a production w/ a really bad one and I feel like I could do the humor so well.

I'm not a performer, but if I was I would so want to do Kate and Lucy in Avenue Q. Seriously- I love watching Stephanie D'Abruzzo do these roles, she looks like she's having so much fun.


And I've also thought it'd be fun to be Chistery in Wicked. :)
