Even though I can't act to save my life, there are still parts in various plays or novels that's I'd really like to perform. Sometimes they're male, sometimes they're female, either way this is a thread for all of those parts that you've always wanted to act.

The part that I would KILL for...well, almost..is The Baker's Wife in Into the Woods
I also think that I'm really well suited for Maria in The Sound of Music
A part that I would like to play AGAIN because I think I could do it better now is the Narrator from Joseph and the ATD.
I would love to try some more dramatic, non musical roles. I played Eleanor in The Lion in Winter and I absolutely adored the experience.

When I was younger, I always wanted to be Liesl Von Trapp from The Sound of Music - but somehow, 21 going on 22 just doesn't have the same ring.

Don Quixote Rutledge from 1776 Joseph (hah!) (vocally right up my alley, though) either male lead from Chess--I'm vocally more suited to play the Russian, but the American part is very compelling to me
I'd love to play Cromwell again in A Man for All Seasons.Posts: 1112 | Registered: Jan 2003

R2D2 Scooby Doo (I haven't seen to movie, only the cartoons) Oooh, what was the name of that crazy gal in The Brother's Karamazov ? She was in love with Alyosha and slammed her finger in the door? That happened to me once. But it wasn't on purpose. Can't remember her name. Anna Karenina Sophia from War and Peace If I were in LOTR, I would be Gimli. Then I would get to sit behind Legolas on the galloping horse :drools: P.S. the neurotic chick in Chess I used to sing that "Long ago in someone else's lifetime" song in the shower.

Narnia, I'm doing the vocal direction for Into the Woods this summer! It's a kids' production, and I'm SO excited. Posts: 7877 | Registered: Feb 2003

I myself would like to play Hamlet. I could temporarily flatten my boobs and speak in a low hoarse voice.
Ok. Yeah, that's a bad idea. I just love the soliloquies.
I'd do Katherine in The Taming of the Shrew. She's got some great monologues. And I can definitely do Shrew. Posts: 6415 | Registered: Jul 2000

Pooka, is that song really in the play? I've never seen it, so I wouldn't know.
What happened was, I downloaded a bunch of the music from Chess, and that song was one of the ones I downloaded, then I checked the soundtrack out of the library, and Someone Else's Story isn't on it. It's been bugging me for a long time. Who sings it? And When?

It is in the play. It is sung by Florence. I thnk it might not have been in the British version.

btw, Chess fans, Cor and I sang the "Terrace Duet" in a performance for the Rotary Club this year, and I will be using "Where I Want To Be" as an audition piece for this year's production of 1776. Posts: 1112 | Registered: Jan 2003

Mrs. Lovett from Sweeney Todd Of course, I'd have to be able to sing first. Which I can't. Alas.
I also always wanted to be Alia from the Dune books. But that might just have a little something to do with my answer to the fictional crush thread . . .

I would kill to do any of the Sweeney Todd roles. I can sing Johanna, but I just don't fit the part physically. I imagine that she wasn't 6 feet tall. Posts: 6415 | Registered: Jul 2000

I just watched the Lion, Witch, Wardrobe production at BYU. I kept thinking how fun Edumund would be to play.

I'm definitely up for Aslan, but I'm going to let the witch just keep Edmund as the other children and I go skipping off into the woods. Hey, it's the Disney version.

Basically, if the part says "Strong Woman", I'm all over it. I want to be quirky, sexy, assertive, and powerful. I want people to fear me and admire me. I love playing the villain.

This year I'm singing "The Worst Pies in London", it's so much fun, she's such a kooky character!
I would like to play: Shakespeare: Hamlet, Richard III (Men get all the best roles- actually I'd just like to be in Hamlet as anything) Maria (from Twelfth Night) Beatrice (From Much Ado About Nothing) Musicals: Eliza Dolittle (My Fair Lady) Fantine (Les Miserables- If I was a man I would like to play Javert too...) Nancy (Oliver!) Other: Rosencrantz (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead)
Will add more when I think of them.

I'd really like to do Don Quixote/Cervantes in Man of LaMancha, but they'd never cast me for it. I have a Sancho body type. Posts: 4344 | Registered: Mar 2003

Oooo! I always wanted to be Ophelia (from Hamlet). Once I got together with a couple of friends and we were going to film the whole play, and I was going to be Ophelia, but we only did the first scene.
