ok lesse..
Elphaba- lots of emotions..in the end gets her man
Eponine- not as many emotions, sticks to the more romantic part of her life, but since i love romance stories like that..and in the end she still doesnt get her man..and she dies lol
so i think the most meningful is Eponine
and i agree jmaclover, I always though Dorothy was a spoiled brat even before Wicked..lol
well..Eponine gets one solo, elphaba about 25..

ITS MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Is this even a question?? ELPHABA DUH!! First off les Miz Doesnt even Center around Eponine. Second Eponine just sits there and is all boohoo I love Marius but he doesnt love me.Then she gets shot and He feels bad and they have a sweet lil duet. Elphabe has to go through alot more and gets love in the end and actully gets things done/Belives in someting based on her own convictions not to impress some dude. And Eponine is just so bloody passive. Plus I have heard so many BAD version of On My Own That that song makes me vomit Now. PLUS ELPHIE GETS TO FLY!!!!!!!

Although I would consider neither to be a great character in American theatre history (or even American musical theatre history) - I would have to go with Elphaba, simply because Lis Miserables does not fully develop Eponine as a character. Her motivations and her desires are rather cliche when you break down the scenes that she was in...and her story centered on a love triangle of sorts.

Which one would you guys rather play?
Eponine has a great song, but Elphaba is a lead role.
Well, seeing as how I already played Eponine in Paris, and my audition is for a role with music similar to Elphaba's, I shall say Elphaba.

Elphaba has to sing in several bad songs. Eponine gets two awesome songs.
"PLUS ELPHIE GETS TO FLY!!!!!!! "
I'm Ponine flew a little when she was shot...
"'PLUS ELPHIE GETS TO FLY!!!!!!!'

Not to mention Eponine gets to climb the barricade and a fence!
