plus many, many others...

Kate Monster/Lucy T. Slut -- Avenue Q.
Amy -- Company
The Witch -- Into the Woods
Petra -- A Little Night Music

Posted: 12/16/03 at 10:22pmLuisa in The Fantasticks has been my dream since I was about 7. I can't really sing (that's a problem!) and since that role is so screechy and high, I know my voice could never handle it. I have the right look, but that's about it.

Anyone in "Little Shop of Horrors"
The Baker or Cinderella's Prince/Wolf in "Into the Woods"
Our school is doing "The Music Man" this year and I really really want to be Harold Hill, but since I'm a junior I won't get it and it'll go to a certain no-talent senior, even though I think I should get the part (as do some others). Just venting here...
