Posted: 6/14/06 at 12:23amWell, unfortunately I don't have the looks, unless you count being Penny in Hairspray. But I've always enjoyed Carlotta in POTO and would love to play that one. It just looks fun to me.

Me too, except I'm a girl.
Macheath is another HIGHLY unlikely one, but I would love to play him.

Posted: 6/14/06 at 1:44amHonestly, I don't care what the role is. I don't even think it's been written yet. But it would be me, and there would be two male parts. Oooh, like Passion. But instead of it being a handsome man and two women, it would be a beautiful woman an two men. Yep, that would be the ONE role I would pick. Do I even have to mention which two male actors I would choose to be in the show with me?

First of all, asking which ONE role on Broadway you would like to play is like asking, "Gee, SOPHIE, which ONE of your kids would you like to save?..."
Molina in "Kiss of the Spider Woman: the musical" I played it once before and it was two of the best weeks of my life.
The title role in "Sweeney Todd"
and
