If you could have a role in any musical or play(regardless of age or gender) what would it be?

Mine would be Cathy in L5Y
Lady of the Lake in Spamalot
or
Elphie in Wicked

I'd like to be Sky Masterson in Guys and Dolls. Either him or Nicely Nicely.

I'd want to be Eponine in Les Mis!!!!!!

#1: Mary Poppins in "Mary Poppins".
Laura Fairlie or Anne Catherick in "The Woman in White".
Of course, Christine in "Phantom of the Opera" would rock.
Cosette in "Les Miserables".
Guenevere in "Camelot".
Eliza in "My Fair Lady".

Male roles?

Enjolras in "Les Miserables".
Sir Percival Glyde in "The Woman in White".
Sir Percy in "The Scarlet Pimpernel".
The Phantom in "The Phantom of the Opera".
King Arthur in "Camelot".

Although the last time I checked I am male, I would love to do Miss Mazeppa. And I have been told that I AM Vera Charles.

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.

Marc Shaiman gave me the role of Tracy Turnblad and just learning the dance steps made me LOSE weight! How am I ever going to be a pint-sized pepperpot by the time we open in Vegas?

1. Mark in RENT (where I a boy, this would be ideal)
2. Christine in DRS
3. Elphaba in Wicked
4. Amneris in Aida
5. Seymour in LSoH (again, the whole fact that I'm a girl gets in the way

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.

Any of the male roles in The Producers would be fun.
