Posted: 5/5/08 at 11:14pmI guess my favorite is Cats, but the most expertly written is Kiss Me, Kate.

Currently, I would kill to play Pseudolous from A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.
I think it has one of the best and creative stories out of any Broadway musical I've heard of and this particular character has me written all over it anyways, I love comedic roles. I've played The Cowardly Lion and Nathan Detroit the last two years at my high school.

Posted: 5/5/08 at 11:45pmIt's incredibly tough, and I have to mention the two that would round out my top three, Falsettos and Follies, but for me the perfect melding of book and score, humor and emotion, is A Little Night Music. A show that (as I've seen VERY personally) doesn't even need a particularly talented cast to get across just how brilliant it is.
