I'm a professional. Whenever something goes wrong on stage, I know how to handle it so no one ever remembers. I flash my %#$&. "Jayne just sat there while Gina flailed around the stage like an idiot."

It took me a minute to realize that your avatar was from Little Shop. For a second, I thought it was Oliver Platt and Lauren Graham in Guys and Dolls.

Sally Bowles is always my answer for this. I have a lot of characters that I love though, making a list would get obnoxiously long.

Now what would you say if today I started over? Without a thing but this taped together four leaf clover And I'll pretend like everything is already alright And I'll run toward the sun till the castle's out of sight

I'm drawn to characters that make an entrance, leave and you desperately wait for them to return onstage...

Roger De Bris (The Producers)
Lady of the Lake (Spamalot)
Mrs Wilkinson (Billy Elliot)
