@MusicElle-is-here

I know I’m not the only one obsessed with musicals and plays here, so I was wondering what some of y’all’s dream roles are. I’ll list some of mine to start us off:
Christine Daae from Phantom
Eponine from Les Mis
Lydia Deetz from Beetlejuice (but I also rly would like to be Barbara)
Zoe Murphy from Dear Evan Hansen
Anne Boleyn from Six
Eliza Schuyler/Hamilton from Hamilton
Veronica Sawyer from Heathers
Katherine Pulitzer from Newsies

@saor_illust school

did i hear les mis
tbh the only role i'd like to play in any musical that i've seen would probably be Cosette or one of those people in the crowd when they sing "do you hear the people sing" bc then i would get some other excitement

@Yamatsu

Tevye – Fiddler on the Roof
Soothsayer – Something Rotten
Shrek – Shrek the Musical
Harold Hill – The Music Man
Daddy Warbucks (as long as I don't have to shave my head) – Annie

@Yamatsu

oh my gosh those are all so cool
(i haven’t actually listened to something rotten yet tho…)

It's absolutely hilarious. Would recommend.

@GoodThingGoing group

All of these are like hella unlikely but oh well
I'd love to play Meg in Hercules
Pistol in Henry IV, Part 2 or Henry V would be really fun
I'd love to play Lady Macbeth in M*cbeth!
Hamlet in, well, Hamlet
Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing
Victor Frankenstein in Frankenstein: A New Musical but that's never gonna happen lol
Tamora in Titus Andronicus would be pretty neat
Anya/Anastasia in Anastasia
Rose Red from Ghost Quartet
I think there's a Gatsby play/musical and I'd love to play either Nick or Gatsby
Maybe Rosalind in As You Like It? I'm not too far in, but I really like her. Same with Jacques.
Anyone in She Loves Me, preferably Amalia Balasch (probably misspelled that) or Ladislav Sipos
Nick Bottom would be fun to play, and I wouldn't mind doing Oberon again

@GoodThingGoing group

Dude you'd be so good as Rapunzel's Prince!
I'd love to play Jack's Mom, the Witch, the Baker's Wife or the Wolf/Cinderella's Prince in Into the Woods, it's one of my musicals
Also Bea or Nick from Something Rotten, they would be so fun!

@RedTheLoveless

You bet your ass I would be lmao (especially during Agony, I'mma be so dramatic with ripping my shirt off)
I'm laughing so hard at the image of you being the Wolf, only because you'd be super sarcastic with the pedo-like lines

@GoodThingGoing group

I almost had to cover as the Wolf when I was in the show! Two shows got cancelled and pushed back a week due to weather, and Rapunzel's Prince nearly missed, and the Wolf would've gone out as him and he said he'd have me go on as the Wolf
And then the Prince made it and I was just stuck in ensemble lol
