Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Regardless of gender? That would be an endless, so here's just female roles.
1) Maureen -Rent (or Mimi but I'm pale with blond hair and blue eyes so one that won't happen)
2) Lady of the Lake -Spamalot (I swear I was born for that role)
3) Susan -Tick, Tick...BOOM!
4) Either Glinda or Elphaba -Wicked (please don't hate me for that)
5) Kate Monster/Lucy the Slut -Avenue Q (But I have no puppeteer experience)
+ several more
Okay, so that's 7 roles, and all fairly predictable and unoriginal, but what can I say? Those are all such great roles to me. Elyse. No day but today.

Velma Kelly- I'm a soprano and not a dancer. This would never work out.
Maria in WSS- I get teary hearing the overture. It is one of my all time favorites and Maria's songs are so beautiful.
Cinderella or the Witch in ITW- I'm definitely more Witch than Cinderella but never the less. . .
Mama Rose- Who doesn't want to be Mama Rose?
Janet in RHS- I love this part.
Thou giveth fever.
