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

Warren in This Is Our Youth

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.

Tracy-Hairpsray

#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".

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?

4. Amneris in Aida

6. "Pass the parcel. That's sometimes all you can do. Take it, feel it and pass it on. Not for me, not for you, but for someone, somewhere, one day. Pass it on, boys. That's the game I want you to learn. Pass it on." -The History Boys

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.

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