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.

I forgot:

Well, I guess I'd like to be (like a lot of people):
Cathy - The Last 5 Years
Amneris - Aida
Maureen - Rent (I'd also like to be Mimi, but I'm pale, blonde, and I don't think I could do Out Tonight)
Christine - Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Eponine - Les Mis

And if I was a man...
Maybe Mark in Rent, I don't know.

Elphaba in Wicked
The Baker's Wife in Into The Woods
Millie in Throughly Modern Millie (though my dancing would have to improve more-than-significantly)
and Jo March in Little Women

Though I love the roles of Cinderella (R&H Cinderella), Hope Cladwell, and Eliza Doolittle (my fantasy role), I don't have the vocal quality for them. A soprano, I am not.

ahhh....if only I had the talent. It would be cool if I could play as Carla Albanese from "Nine". Though if there was a production nearby that does it with a pit, I'd rather play in the pit.

Queeney (off-Broadway Wild Party)
and any of the female parts of DRS.

Norbert Leo Butz quotes about John Lithgow: "He's really clumsy. One of the joys in life is to watch a great big huge man totally wipe out backstage. It takes John about three minutes to hit the floor. It's like watching a Great Sequoia falling gracelessly."

Fosca in Passion. If I could do that successfully I think I could love myself. lol.
or
Clara in The Light In The Piazza. If could sing all of those notes well, that would be fantastic.
I also love the music in both of these shows. I could definitely sing it every night.
